Qantas has begun its latest series of sightseeing flights from airports in Australia to the Antarctic region. And while passengers never get to step foot on the ice itself, the views from the aircraft are said to be breathtaking and unparalleled. 

November 2023 saw the first flights of the 2023/24 season, with the airline due to operate flights from Melbourne (MEL), Perth (PER), Brisbane (BNE), and Sydney (SYD) over the ice shelf, landmarks, and the captivating beauty of Antarctica using its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. 

The first flight of the season (flight number QF1330) departed from Melbourne on November 17, 2023, quickly followed by a flight from Sydney on November 25. Each flight is scheduled to last around 13.5 hours and take passengers on a guided tour of Antarctica, including the famous McMurdo Sound and, of course, the Magnetic South Pole.
