Qantas has announced additional capacity to Hong Kong to cater for increased demand during the holiday season. Qantas currently operates daily B747 services between Sydney and Hong Kong. Effective between December 10, 2015 and January 20, 2016, Qantas will upgrade its services on five days per week (Mon, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun) to an A380 aircraft. From January 21 to February 16, Qantas will upgrade its B747 services to daily A380 services between Sydney and Hong Kong. The additional capacity delivers on Qantas’ strategy of offering a more dynamic schedule to provide customers with more choice.

The additional seasonal services follow Qantas’ recent announcement to operate 33 return services between Sydney and Vancouver – 13 return services in June/July, and 20 return services from mid-December to late January 2016, operated by a three-cabin, 364-seat refurbished B747 aircraft.

Qantas has recently made a number of improvements to the international customer experience including a new inflight dining experience in Economy offering more choice, 50 percent larger meals and improved service. On March 1, Qantas updated its First and Business menus, offering Cape Grim Beef from Tasmania, Yasa Caviar from Abu Dhabi and Fraser Isle Spanner Crab with Pepe Saya Crème Fraiche to customers travelling in First. www.qantas.com.au
