Qantas announce first A380 route
Qantas will be the second airline to receive the much delayed Airbus A380 superjumbo. Launch customer Singapore Airlines had their first A380 delivered in October 2007, and have since received four. Qantas will not receive their first A380 until a year later in October 2008.
The exact date hasn't been released, but it has been reported that the debut route will be from Melbourne to Los Angeles.
Meanwhile photos of the Qantas A380 being prepared can be seen in this photo gallery.

Melbourne to Mumbai
I am flying to Mumbai tomorrow with Australia's flag carrier Qantas. I fly to Sydney first then connect 2 hours later for a 14 and a half hour direct flight to Mumbai.
The Age today had an article about the hubbing of international Qantas flights out of Sydney. It is a fair enough business decision to do this, but I would have thought Melbourne is big enough for more direct flights. It seems that Indian Airlines thinks so as they will soon be operating direct flights from New Delhi to Melbourne.
