Rumour has it departing Adelaide 12.40 and arriving Melbourne 14.30. Plenty of time for a fly over The G.

thanks heaps for all your help.
i was just browsing through the QF website and i came across the live chat with Qantas Executive General Manager John Borghetti and he quoted this:

"The promotional visit to MEL is planned for 2 October - however the plane will also visit MEL as part of our pilot training flights - the first visit is planned for Thursday (25th)."

looks like ill try and go out on both days if i can

again thanks heaps, much appreciated

Question

I would quite like to see what flights are planned, including around Sydney - I assume it is not going to just sit in a hangar for the next 3 days?

Fantastic thanks Lukas, apparently the Air China new special livery A330 is also scheduled to come in on Thurs 15mins after the A380, plus the current forecast for that day is sunny and warm, so we might have a perfect storm of positives happening here Thurs morning!

Subject to change of course…

Sure is an ugly beast but the 380 hasnt looked better than in the QF colour scheme.

I have heard OQA will be in Perth on the morning of 14th October.....can anyone else confirm that?
