This airline just sold out a round-trip flight to ‘nowhere’

[Mike Wehner]

The airline industry has had a tough couple of years. The Covid pandemic absolutely destroyed plans for travel, whether it be for work or leisure, so airlines found themselves with empty seats and, even when they could get a flight off the ground, planes had to be sparsely filled in order to ensure social distancing mandates were met. With that in mind, you might think that a special "flight to nowhere" program by Australia's Qantas airline sounds like a gimmick to make a quick buck, but it's not. In fact, the trip was so highly anticipated that it sold out in just two-and-a-half minutes after it went up.

So, what could be so exciting about a trip that takes off and lands at the same airport without ever actually going anywhere? It's all about the Moon. The May supermoon is expected to be a stunner, and Qantas is offering people an opportunity to see it from a birds-eye view. Eager stargazers rapidly plunked down up to over $1,100 for a chance to see the glowing sphere from an altitude of over 40,000 feet.
