Qantas Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner business class HONG KONG-MELBOURNE

BACKGROUND Hong Kong became the first Asian destination to see Qantas’s newest aircraft, the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, on December 13 last year when it took over the majority of flights per week on the airline’s Melbourne-Hong Kong route. Until that point, the Dreamliner had largely been focused on ultra-long-haul routes, notably the airline’s 17-hour nonstop flights between Perth and London, which took off in early 2018.

The Dreamliner’s deployment between Hong Kong and Melbourne was only temporary, having ended on March 29; however, the aircraft is now operating flights to Sydney. This is a review of Qantas’s first Dreamliner flight out of Hong Kong flying to Melbourne (QF30).
