G'day Mates! So You Wanna Fly Down Under with Qantas? Here's Your Plane Ticket to Plane Knowledge!
Ever dreamt of swapping crumpets and cups of tea for sunshine and vegemite sandwiches? Thinking of hopping on a flying kangaroo (that's Qantas' unofficial mascot, by the way) to Australia? Well, buckle up, cobber, because we're about to take a whistle-stop tour of the magnificent machines that'll get you there!
Your Chariot Across the Great Big Ocean: A Choice Fit for a Royal (or at least a Economy Class Traveller)
Qantas boasts a fleet that'd make Mary Poppins jealous of all her carpetbag-sized contraptions. But for your London to Australia adventure, you've got two main contenders:
The Airbus A380: The Double-Decker Dream
Imagine a plane so big it has its own postcode. That's the A380! This behemoth is basically an airborne palace, offering oodles of legroom (well, depending on your class) and enough space to hold a disco if that's your thing (although turbulence might make the mosh pit a bit hairy).The Boeing 787 Dreamliner: The Long-Haul Hero
Think sleek, stylish, and built for comfort. The Dreamliner is Qantas' weapon of choice for their fancy new non-stop flights from London to Perth. Think of it as a comfy spaceship that gets you Down Under faster than a boomerang returning home (though hopefully a bit smoother).
Not sure which one you'll be flying? Don't worry, mate! Qantas will let you know when you book your ticket.

Entertainment that'll keep you chuckling more than a kookaburra: Both A380s and Dreamliners boast oodles of movies, music, and games to keep you from getting bored. Just don't get so engrossed in that in-flight comedy that you miss the stunning views!
Enough legroom to (almost) do the Nutbush: Okay, maybe not the Nutbush, but both planes offer a decent amount of legroom depending on your class. Economy might feel a tad cosy, but hey, that's your chance to practice your best Aussie accent with your seatmate – “fair dinkum, this isn't so bad!”
Food that (hopefully) won't make you miss your mum's roast: Qantas offers a variety of meals to suit different dietary needs. Just be prepared – depending on the route, you might get a taste of some classic Aussie tucker like a snag (sausage) sanga (sandwich).
