Qantas is kicking things up a notch with its US service, doubling the flights between Melbourne and Los Angeles, as well as opening a new direct route between Melbourne and Dallas Fort Worth.
Adding to this news is that Qantas A380s are returning to Melbourne after refurbishment, marking the reintroduction of first class to Melbourne.
Furthermore, the Melbourne International Business Lounge is opening its doors for the first time since the pandemic struck.
Qantas Group’s Chief Customer Officer, Stephanie Tully, said: “No city in the world did it tougher during COVID than Melbourne, but no city is bouncing back as quickly.
“We are seeing really strong demand from Melburnians wanting to travel overseas for a holiday or business trip after two years at home, while inbound tourism is starting to pick up. Flights to the United States are particularly strong with Los Angeles bookings now exceeding pre-COVID levels.
“As well as being a destination in its own right, Dallas Fort Worth is one of the biggest hub airports in the United States and is located less than a four-hour flight from every major US city.”
