Qantas to increase flights to US

Qantas is to add a fifth non-stop service from Brisbane to Los Angeles from 28 January 2006.

The Brisbane-Los Angeles services will be operated by two-class Boeing 747 aircraft featuring the airline's Skybed in Business Class.

Further changes to Qantas' US schedules include moving from eight flights a week on Melbourne-Los Angeles to a double-daily service - seven operating non-stop and seven via Auckland.

Qantas services between Australia and mainland USA will increase to a record 39 a week from March 2006 when the airline commences new services to San Francisco.
