@@CathyBrodie1 you just have to check qantas’s website frequently. I believe it was also on the news before the sale. It was announced on 10 May and tickets were on sale 12 May. www.qantas.com/au/en/promotions/super-moon-scenic-flight.html
What a flight! You even got spotted several times, that's great! The moon looked so nice and you actually did a good job getting it. What they gave everyone was stunning too. Super video!
Apart from your attention to important details, the thing I like most about your videos is your gentle humour eg "I found the aircraft that will be flying me to the moon". Cool stuff !
Thank you for letting us live the experience vicariously through you. I hardly ever leave comments on RUclips, but I feel I need to thank you for this initiative and tell you that those few people who gave you a thumbs down for this video are pathetic losers who simply can't find joy in anything anymore and only derive pleasure from deriding others' efforts. Once again, thank you.👍
You have done a great, Rory. Thank you taking me a scenic flight to see the moon eclipse "at home". I didn't realize Qantas has such a promotion flight. I see you have tried so hard to take the best shot of the moon. You effort pays off. Qantas is generous to give out so many gifts. Lovely souvenirs. 💘
I am soooo jealous !😂 I live on the Gold Coast hinterland, and while I was taking photos around 9.15 of the supermoon, I saw a plane flying to Brisbane, I even said to my hubby how lucky people were on that flight, and what a great place to view it from. 24 hours later , you post a video of the flight from Sydney out over the Tasman Sea. Definitely the place to be !
“I found the aircraft that will be flying me to the moon” A factual comment for this event and I couldn’t help but think one day we will literally fly to the moon as a regular event. Enjoyed this overview thanks...and Qantas did a great job too. We had a clear wonderful view of the eclipse in Tasmania...
@@RoryDing yeah I get that, I got a free ticket with work and got Premium Economy and as I was part of the staff I got to walk all round the 747 except for cockpit and was amazing, but wouldn't pay the price myself as a passenger
Great video as always and great to meet you last night. I was in Premium Economy and I actually think presentation aside you got the better meal onboard (we got cheese, salami and olives in a cardboard box) although of course nothing could beat the salt & pepper squid and pavlova in the lounge.
Awesome video Rory, just a quick question mate, on this video how did you film outside view of the plane taking off? Is it someone you know....thats really clever. Hope youre enjoying youre time in the goldcoast...im hopefully gonna fly there in 2weeks from adelaide. I might Vlog 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Rory, I was watching the 4pm news on ch7 and Im pretty sure I saw you sitting there watching Hugh sing "fly me to the moon" lol when they showed the story on the moon flight 😁
The food looked delightful. Sadly west of the mountains it was overcast (which you probably noticed), so I missed out in my neck of the woods, though a mere 50km away, in Bathurst, it cleared up for about an hour, and they were able to see it.
Qantas is very cool-I travelled BNE-SYD in March to see the opening of Hamilton in economy class for a long awaited holiday. Gave the crew a box of choccies for sending me off on holiday- upon landing they proceeded to load me up with a goodie bag of snacks & 2 bottles of champers lol!
Great video thanks Rory and good clear images of the moon given the fact that you were on a moving plane. Just wondering what kind of view the people that didn't get a window seat had?
It’s very hard for them to see the moon One of my friends who sat in the middle seat (next to a window seat) only saw a few seconds of the moon. I wouldn’t book this flight if I couldn’t get a window seat 😂
@@RoryDing I see what you mean about the showers at the travel lodge at mascot with the heat and shower pressure. Stayed there a lot over the last 5 years and this was never a problem until now.
Hey Rory! Curious to know how you purchased tickets for this scenic flight - I remember I tried purchasing it as soon as it went on sale but I wasn't able to :(
Hi I remember the tickets went on sell at 12:00:20 I already knew what seat I wanted so I selected everything very quickly and finished my payment in 2 minutes.
You must’ve been quick to get the tickets for this flight considering they’re sold out in 3 minutes. You should also consider going to see the Total solar Eclipse on April 20, 2023
Cool video although the singing at the Business class lounge was a bit over the top.. After all, you are all just flying around staring a red moon.. ummm okay.
I suppose its a good way to get away from the light pollution, but just really seems like a way to burn money for people who dont know what to do with it. They advertise it as having a “closer” view of the moon, but at 8 miles up that means the moon appears 0.0034 % closer than at ground level LOL, pretty idiotic. Just drive a bit out of the city and have a good time - at least you wont be in a loud ass airplane. I guess your above some of the atmosphere so there’s theoretically less atmospheric turbulence...
As an AvGeek flying on the 787 itself is a reward, plus there was pre-flight cocktail party and gift bags. Well at least for me, my main reason to book the trip was because of the flight experience, not really because of the moon.
Qantas advertised it on 10 May tickets were put on sell at noon 12 May, all tickets sold out in 2.5mins. You just always have to keep an eye on Qantas website
But the aircraft would be boring, windows are smaller, it’s less comfortable, doesn’t have as many business class seats, doesn’t have premium economy seats and I personally wouldn’t pay $500 for an economy class seat in 737 😂 A business class seat is $1499, that’s where Qantas makes money from this flight, 737 has too few business class seats
@@RoryDing I wouldn't pay $500 for a 737 flight either. QF could have even done an A330 but that has only 2 window seats instead of 3. Yeah, 787 is the best choice.
An article about the flight: www.cnn.com/travel/article/lunar-eclipse-qantas-super-blood-moon-flight-scn/index.html
This is pretty freakin cool. I'm expecting to see Stefan Drury and Paul Stewart on this flight.
Not sure about stef but Paul was in Darwin :(
@@RoryDing that's cool. Aviation is awesome. That is all.
How do you get alerted for special events like this? Do you have to be a high ranking frequent flyer or RUclipsr?

It would be funny if someone went on this specifically scenic flight and just put their headphones on and watched a movie or went to sleep.
This gotta be the funniest comment ever! 😂
Haha yes funniest comment.
Funny thing is, one guy did! According to 7news
Or filmed it
What a flight! You even got spotted several times, that's great! The moon looked so nice and you actually did a good job getting it. What they gave everyone was stunning too. Super video!
Thanks 😊
I didn’t even know such flight existed. Thanks for taking us with you! It looked like a lot of fun.
It was fun 😊

@@RoryDing .... but.... technically..... you got closer 😂😂😂
Wow RoryDing! I'm so happy that you got this flight and shared it with us! ❤️✈️🌙👏
Thanks for watching 😁
Really enjoyed your Lunar Flight RD..very informative indeed
Thanks!
Absolutely brilliant- what a wonderful opportunity 🙏🙏🙏
It's wonderful to be on such a unique flight. You have done a good job recording the lunar eclipse. Qantas is so generous to give out so many gifts
I love the Dreamliner seats!

😊
That was so good, I am so jealous! I love the moon, I did not know that this flight even existed. So pleased you managed to get a ticket.
Hi Rory..
Really enjoying all your travelling vlogs.. keep on going..
Thank you ☺️
Really Thank You for showing this beautiful scene..
Certainly an adventure!!
The guy sitting next to you did not look happy 😂Looks like he wanted that window seat.
Such a beautiful flight, and aircraft too! Color me jealous! 😍
Flying to the moon 😊 Awesome experience.
Thank you for the fast upload
cool show rory ,,,,i was watching it as well and it was right in my star sign Scorpio,,,
Wow Sydney to Sydney that’s a funny plane trip enjoy.
I have done the Antarctica Scenic Flight on a 747 before it was retired, and it was amazing, during the day and amazing views, would recommend that!
It’s just too pricy ahah
And I don’t like the fact that I can’t choose a seat 😂
@@RoryDing yeah I get that, I got a free ticket with work and got Premium Economy and as I was part of the staff I got to walk all round the 747 except for cockpit and was amazing, but wouldn't pay the price myself as a passenger
lovely flight i enjoyed it very much greetings from the netherlands

Thank you for another awesome, entertaining and informative video! So thorough as always! Keep up the amazing work! 🥳
Thank you 😊
This is amazing saw the super moon from my apartment lucky you 😁
Great video Rory
Thanks!
Awesome video Rory, just a quick question mate, on this video how did you film outside view of the plane taking off?
Is it someone you know....thats really clever.
Hope youre enjoying youre time in the goldcoast...im hopefully gonna fly there in 2weeks from adelaide. I might Vlog 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yeah one of my subscribers filmed it and sent it to me 😊
Thanks for video . This is my life time video . Again thanks my friend
I found the moon eclipse really interesting😊
I saw the Moon too and it was Amazing and super rare because it was a Super-moon and a Lunar Eclipse!
Oh thats cool!! You went on that flight!
Yeah!
Thanks for taking along Rory.
Enjoyed the video
Thanks 😊
Amazing view Nice hospitality by QAUNTAS

The city lights look good from you there
Thanks for another great video Rory
Casually moves past the fact that ADAM FREAKING SPENCER was in the lounge!!!!!
Love the Dreamliner

I’ve never refreshed my phone so many times to click on a single video before
Aww thank you!!
Was looking forward to seeing this, you done a great job covering this Qantas super moon flight event :)
Thank you 😊
I’m waiting for masks to be outlawed before I fly again. Glad you had a good time, thanks for the ride along. Liked, subscribed, bell button-all.
this reminded me of a Netflix tv series Into the Night (they were chasing the night and avoiding the sunlight as it is known to kill people :)
Great video thanks Rory and good clear images of the moon given the fact that you were on a moving plane. Just wondering what kind of view the people that didn't get a window seat had?

I do 😅
Great video mate I really enjoy watching your videos😌👍👍

Your welcome any time thanks for liking my comment I really appreciate it😌👍💜

This shall blow up soon
Hopefully 😂
Wow so cool love your vids I saw the super moon last night! Xx
Thanks
Did you see the whole thing last night?
@@RoryDing yea! I also got a blood nose on the blood moon! 😂Xx
Ok super jealous. But was still happy to watch it here at home.
Lucky Mr Ding
It was a spectacular moon that night wasn’t it? 😀. I was watching from the ground 😂
The view from the ground would’ve been better 😅😬
@@RoryDing It was much closer from the ground but the clouds kept blocking it where I was 😂
Lucky one Rory. Great video.
Thank you 😊
What an Awesome Experience!
AWESOME VIDEO! As usual, i was late in booking...
I just saw you on Channel 9!!! Couldnt believe it👍
Ugh damnn i didn’t see myself there haha
Did I like good? 😂😂
@@RoryDing : I spotted you straight away, got so excited. Yeah you did 👍
Hey Rory! Curious to know how you purchased tickets for this scenic flight - I remember I tried purchasing it as soon as it went on sale but I wasn't able to :(
Hi I remember the tickets went on sell at 12:00:20
I already knew what seat I wanted so I selected everything very quickly and finished my payment in 2 minutes.
3:00-3:12 CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOVA IN THE SKY!!!!!!!!
Great Video! How much did you pay for the ticket?
$499
The price is in this video’s description
That's disgusting
@@MitchellBPYao I’m sorry?
@@MitchellBPYao What do you mean
I rarely go to the airport and that's per seat
Great video
Five star coverage
Thank you 😊
God I miss the Qantas Biz Lounge so much.
I would like to try the Qantas business lounge once!
You must’ve been quick to get the tickets for this flight considering they’re sold out in 3 minutes. You should also consider going to see the Total solar Eclipse on April 20, 2023
Yeah I booked the seat at 12:00:50
Finished my payment at 12:02
I saw three planes while waiting for the moon, one went over my house and I’m guessing it was this plane.
Did your seatmate saw the view of the moon? If you are my seatmate im gonna be annoyed.
Oh really
Why would you be annoyed
Do they still do the scenic flight to Antarctica? I remember seeing it on the news once.
Yes they did it last month 😊
What? How did you find about this flight? 👍
It was on Qantas website, ticket were on sale at noon 12 May, sold out in 3 mins
www.qantas.com/au/en/promotions/super-moon-scenic-flight.html
That’s pretty cool but some reason thought it was going out of space lol
Hey Rory, was nice meeting you, Nice video as always!! Keep it up! My video will be out today, do watch it when you have time :)
How did you afford these trips?
I think I saw you on the news 😊
Yeah that was me on tv 😂
Oh, so that's what Adam Spencer is doing now...
😂😂😂
Cool
Where do you get all this time and money????

There are 4 supermoons in 2023
I feel bad for the guy next to him, didn’t get to see anything
Sounds great if you want an experience👍 but if you're an astronomer who's interested in the eclipse and wants to document it, terrible idea👎
Bet no Victorians on the flight 😢
There were a few actually !
LOL!! We ain't going no where with a 5km radius lockdown 😫
