Qantas is in the process of upgrading their fleet of 12 Airbus A380s.
They took delivery of their first A380 as early as 2008, so the oldest one has already been in service over 11 years, so I guess an upgrade was needed. I just can’t believe the A380 has been around this long, I still remember the first time I saw an A380 at the Dubai Airshow, it feels like it was only a couple of years ago…

First come first served. T&C Applies” followed by a phone number to call. I called directly and asked for a room on one of my days off in October, and was asked if I wanted a single bed or two beds. I asked for a single bed, and was advised there was none available, but 2 beds was, which I then asked to book. I was then told the booking was confirmed, and the call was terminated. I did find it a bit strange that I did not get any confirmation number, no text and no email with the reservation, so was a bit worried if I actually had a room or not.

So, summer holidays are finished for me, and I will make my first attempt at writing a trip report. I will honestly admit that I was a bit too busy with my two small kids during the trip, so there are a lot of photos missing, but it also means I have a lot of space to improve to the next trip.
