Qantas’ flagship QF1 flight from Sydney to London via Singapore resumed in mid-June, with the A380 superjumbo reclaiming pride of place on the iconic Kangaroo Route.
Since November 2021 the Sydney-London service has been flying with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner and making the necessary stopover at Darwin due to Covid-driven transit restrictions at Singapore’s Changi Airport.
Alan Joyce also confirmed that when the A380s come back to Sydney-Singapore-London they’ll all be the upgraded superjumbos which feature the latest business class and premium economy seats, along with two new ‘premium lounges’ at the front of the upper deck and refreshed first class suites.
It’s another welcome sign that travel is getting back to normal, and that scene is expected to include the reopening of the elegant Qantas Singapore First lounge, which has been shuttered since March 2020 – although the Qantas Singapore Business lounge unlocked its doors in December 2020.
