Qantas Airlines has this week announced it will be launching a supermoon scenic flight to nowhere and tickets subsequently sold out in about 2.5 minutes time.
The themed B787 Dreamliner supermoon scenic flight will offer passengers a close-up view of the rare lunar event set to occur later this month; the very last supermoon of the year that also happens to coincide with a full lunar eclipse.
“We are very excited to now be doing a supermoon scenic flight and the 787 has the largest windows of any passenger aircraft so it’s ideal for moon gazing,” Qantas Chief Customer Officer Stephanie Tully explained in a statement. “We think this flight has great appeal for anyone with a passion for astronomy, science, space photography, aviation or just keen to do something a little ‘out of this world.’”
