Sydney to Dallas

Qantas has inaugurated a four days per week non-stop service between Sydney (Australia) and Dallas/Fort Worth (USA) (DFW).  Flown by a three-class Boeing 747 the flight leaves Sydney at 13:25 local time and arrives 13:50 on the same day.  QF7 is in the air for around 15½ hours.  On the return leg the aircraft is routed via Brisbane.

From Australia Qantas Group currently serves in the USA Honolulu, Los Angeles, New York (Qantas and Jetstar) and now Dallas.

Chief Executive Officer, Mr Alan Joyce, said that the airline was delighted to be providing the first direct connection between the Antipodes and Texas.  “This new service takes Qantas customers into the heart of the United States, with a wide range of options for onward travel,” Mr Joyce noted.  “Dallas and Fort Worth are attractive destinations in their own right, combining rapid economic growth with Texas’ rich heritage.

“However, what sets DFW apart are the connections its world-class airport provides to other major cities in the United States, Canada and Mexico.  This makes it the perfect platform for Qantas to develop its relationship with our oneworld partner American Airlines, beginning with a significant expansion of codesharing to capitalise on DFW’s hub location.” www.qantas.com.au
