Qantas First Class To Los Angeles LAX For $1,490 – Not Really

Last Thursday night, a sharp-eyed web surfer noticed that Australia’s flag carrier, Qantas, was selling one-way first-class tickets to Los Angeles from Sydney for AU$2,191 ($1,490), compared to the regular fare of around AU$14,000 ($9,500). The find made its way onto a website, and within eight hours, 300 people snapped up the bargain and then sat back and waited to see how long the dream would last.
