Britons hoping to jet to Australia on a bargain flight won’t need to abandon all hope if they don’t manage to get one, however.
Qantas has revealed there will also be Centenary Sale fares from London Heathrow to Sydney, Perth and Melbourne from £699.
Qantas hit the headlines last week after a Qantas plane made the first non-stop London to Sydney flight which lasted a whopping 19 hours and 19 minutes.
The direct flight reduced total travel time by around two hours compared with current one-stop services from the east coast of Australia.
It is only the second time any commercial airline has flown this route non-stop, after Qantas flew a near-empty 747-400 in 1989.
The brand new Boeing 787 Dreamliner was met by more than 1,000 Qantas employees to mark the flying kangaroo’s 99th birthday and kick off 12 months of celebrations as it heads towards its centenary.
As well as launching the Centenary Sale, Qantas have other fun plans for their celebrations.
Three components were revealed on Friday. Firstly, special livery on a new Dreamliner that will be seen at airports around the world, featuring every Qantas logo since 1920.
There will also be a $1 coin to mark the 100th that will enter circulation next year.
Thirdly there will be a touring exhibition that will visit a number of cities around Australia.
Qantas Chairman Richard Goyder said: “Qantas is a national icon because it’s been such a big part of Australian life for so long.
“We started in outback Queensland carrying mail and a few passengers in the 1920s. We grew as Australia grew, and we’ve had important support roles during wars, national disasters and celebrations. Our founders talked about overcoming the tyranny of distance and through the years we’ve moved from bi-planes, to single wing, to jets to help bring things closer,” added Goyder.
