Who needs a savings account when you could be strolling across the Golden Gate Bridge, spooking yourself in Alcatraz or enjoying a day of eating and activities at Pier 39?!
Melburnians can now adopt a state-of-mind and jump on a that long-awaited trip to San Francisco by booking Qantas’ direct flights to the city.
Because they’re on sale now!
No, we don’t mean they’re discounted, we mean Qantas has opened its Melbourne-San Francisco fares for booking, less than a month after announcing the service.
Travellers are looking at spending from $687 for a one-way Economy Class fare from Melbourne to San Fran on the inaugural 1 September flight, or $4,087 one-way in Business Class.
The service is operated by the airline’s Boeing 787-9, which is custom-designed to ensure passenger comfort on super long-haul services.
Flights will depart Melbourne on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at 9.40pm and arrive in San Francisco at 7.00pm on the same day. The return service will depart on the same days at 10.00pm to arrive in Victoria’s capital at 6.30am (+2 days).
Qantas International CEO Alison Webster said the service will meet demand for travel to the Californian city, and she expects it to be popular among corporate travellers.
