Default Qantas Simulator

There is an article in today's Daily Telegraph saying Qantas is offering frequent flyer members the chance to try their simulators, for 115000 points. According to the article, it's enough points to fly to Dallas or Chicago.

I wonder which choice people would make, fly a pretend plane or fly in a real one to the states. I know which one I'd take....

Be great to have s go,and if I had my choice,the 747-400 would be the one for me

However,I don't have that amount of points anyway,so its "keep on dreaming".

Cheers
Jim

Hmmm 115000 points a or a few hundred bucks here http://www.flightexperience.com.au/packages?store=6

That said, I have been in a QF 763 sim when I did some work experience at QF over a decade ago and it was an awesome experience.....not sure its worth 115000 points though.

Cheers
