Flights to nowhere are the latest travel craze amid COVID restrictions

Qantas Airways Ltd has joined Asian airlines offering a 'flight to nowhere' - giving passengers the chance to enjoy the airline experience.

The flight departs and lands at the same destination but flies over Australia's Outback and Great Barrier Reef.

However, there have been questions raised about the flight as it encourages carbon-intensive travel for no reason.



Qantas Airways Ltd said a seven-hour scenic flight over Australia's Outback and Great Barrier Reef had sold out in 10 minutes, as it joined a growing trend in Asia offering "flights to nowhere" that take off and land at the same airport.
