WELCOME to my seventh flight review in 2018. On 28th January, I flew Qantas service QF118 from Hong Kong (HKG) to Sydney (SYD). The operating aircraft was a gigantic Airbus A380-800. As I am a Oneworld Sapphire member (Qantas Gold), I have access to priority check-in, priority boarding and access to the awesome lounges in HKG.

Qantas and Cathay Pacific are the only airlines that fly between HKG and SYD. While Cathay Pacific flies 3x Boeing 777-300ER and 1x A330-300 daily, Qantas flies 1x B747-400 and 1x A330-300, although during peak seasons we can see double B747 daily, or even A380 and A330-200. Virgin Australia is to begin a daily service on this route this year with their A330-200.
