A Qantas “flight to nowhere” sold out in minutes, and now the cruise industry is looking at how to get people sailing despite border shutdowns.

News of Singapore’s possible “cruises to nowhere” comes soon after Singapore Airlines announced that it would not offer “flights to nowhere” and would instead turn one of its planes into a pop-up restaurant.

Though the airline had previously considered running short plane rides that take off and land at the same airport, it changed its mind after the plan was criticised for the environmental impact it would have.Meanwhile Qantas’ flight to nowhere on October 10 will take passengers on a low-level fly-by journey from Sydney Airport to some of the country’s most iconic landmarks, including Uluru, Kata Tjuta, the Whitsundays, Gold Coast, Byron Bay and Sydney Harbour.

Tickets for the flight on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner didn’t come cheap — there were 150 seats listed for $787 for an economy seat, $1787 for premium economy and a few business class seats for $3787, and they all sold out in a flash. “We knew this flight would be popular, but we didn’t expect it to sell out in 10 minutes,” a spokesperson told news.com.au.and was reproduced with permission
