What it was like on Qantas’ Boeing 787 Supermoon flight – Executive Traveller
Qantas turned a Boeing Dreamliner into a ‘moonliner’ to make this week’s super blood moon an even more memorable event.
Captain Alex Passerini had seen thousands of full moons during his 30 years flying with Qantas, but never one quite like this.
As he piloted the Boeing 787-9 over the Pacific Ocean having climbed high above the scattered clouds to the jets maximum cruising altitude of 43,000 feet the Dreamliners panoramic flight deck window revealed an oversized full moon washed in an ochre-red hue: a supermoon blooming at the closest point to Earth on its elliptical orbit during a total lunar eclipse.
