Qantas Takes off from Melbourne to Dallas

The first-ever direct route between Melbourne and Dallas/Fort Worth will be operated by Qantas, giving Australians visiting North America greater options for travel.

The Qantas flights, which complement the national carrier’s direct flights from Melbourne to Los Angeles, are the first non-stop flights by any airline between the two cities and will add more than 6,000 monthly seats between Victoria and the US.

“As one of the largest hubs in the country, Dallas/Fort Worth is just under four hours away from each major American city and offers connections to more than 200 locations in North America via airline partners. “New routes throw up new possibilities for bringing more tourists to Australia. Direct flights from the US to Melbourne account for over 40% of bookings on this route, which will be advantageous for nearby firms.

Qantas’ joint business partner American Airlines will also offer codeshare services on this flight as part of the joint network into Australia, marketing and selling the route to its customers across North America.

Melbourne is Australia’s capital of food, sport, major events and the arts and today’s launch demonstrates that as aircraft technology continues to improve, it is the ideal base for ultra-long haul flights to other destinations.”

QF21 will depart at 2pm with Texan-themed celebrations at check-in. Customers travelling through Qantas’ lounges in Melbourne will enjoy a Texan-inspired menu including chilli beef brisket and corn bread. Flights will operate three days per week – on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays – with Qantas’ Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
