Qantas Airways will introduce flights from Sydney to Dallas Fort Worth this May, with the return leg routing through Brisbane. On the other hand, the airline will drop existing flights from Sydney to San Francisco.

The four times-weekly service (departing Sydney on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday) will begin on May 16,2011 using Boeing 747-400 aircraft. The outbound leg will operate directly from Sydney to Dallas, while the inbound leg will route via Brisbane.


Interestingly Qantas says that the flight is being sold as a three-class offering (as opposed to the usual four-class economy, premium economy, business class and first class offering). As a consequence of the new Dallas service,Qantas route between Sydney and San Francisco will be dropped on May 14. The carrier will also develop its commercial relationship with fellow Oneworld member American Airlines, whose chief hub is at Dallas Fort Worth.
