See the South Pole in Style from a Qantas A380

This New Years Eve try for an experience like no other. Be the first of a privileged few to see Antarctica from a Qantas A380. Sightseeing Tours based out of Melbourne have chartered Qantas' big bird for the New Years Eve flight which will depart Sydney on New Years Eve, stop briefly in Melbourne to pick up more passengers before heading way down South where passengers will see Antarctica and be the first to usher in the New Year.

Passengers will spend almost 12 hours onboard but the experience will be unlike any other flight... they will see the South Pole (of course) and fly over a French scientific base, numerous glaciers, and stunning Antarctic mountain ranges... plus be the first to see the first sunrise of 2010.

Over the course of the trip there will be live in-flight music from a jazz band, with passenger rotating seats over the flight to ensure everyone gets a chance to share in the views... plus of course a distinct party atmosphere on board - it is of course New Years Eve!!!

Tickets are available through Arctic Sightseeing Flights (NOT Qantas) and start at A$999 all the way through to A$6299 for a First Class ticket. While this isn't cheap what price can you place on such a fantastic and unique experience??? So with tickets going fast anyone interested should move quickly!!!

Note: Sightseeing Tours will also be organising two similar flights (but without the same festive atmosphere) for the 24 January 2010 also in a Qantas A380 and the 14 February 2010 in a Qantas 747. I know which of the three would be my choice!!!
