Celebrate The Dawn Of 2010 In An A380 Over Antarctica
Want to be the first to see the sunrise on New Year's Day 2010? Then get yourself booked onto a flight on the Qantas A380, which will spend New Year's Eve 2009 flying over Antarctica.
A gang called Antarctic Sightseeing Flights are running the trip, which starts in Sydney and will pick up more passengers in Melbourne before heading down in the direction of the South Pole. You'll spend almost 12 hours on board but it's no ordinary flight—they'll have a jazz band playing, a bit of a party atmosphere, and a strict seat rotation policy so that everybody gets their share of the best views.
The prices are not low, but the cheap seats with the worst views start at A$999 ($860), and up in first class you could pay up to A$6,299 ($5,400). Considering you'll get to see the South Pole, a French scientific base, glaciers, Antarctic cliffs and mountains and a whole lotta ice, as well as being the first to celebrate the first sunrise of 2010, we figure plenty of people will find it worth the cost.
