LUKE Chittock of Perth’s Amity Travel was Travel Daily’s special correspondent on last weekend’s Qantas inaugural flight from WA to London – and made headlines after media on board picked up that he was in seat 1A – where you’d probably expect Alan Joyce to be sitting.
Chittock took a punt on when QF would launch the new route, last year booking seat 1A Melbourne-London on 24 Mar.
“A few weeks later the seat map changed over to the non-stop Dreamliner flight,” he said.
On Channel 7 last night he also maintained the reputation of the travel industry when asked for tips on long-haul flying.
Holding a glass of red wine he said “I think you’re supposed to drink lots of water,” adding “but this Shiraz is pretty good too”.
