Royal Brunei Airlines, Taiwan’s EVA Air, Japan’s ANA and Qantas have already flown hundreds of eager passengers up into the clouds, only to bring them back to where they started a short while later. These flights to nowhere proved so popular, Qantas’ initial offering sold out in 10 minutes.

Airliner diner

With prices ranging from US$53.50 (economy) to US$642 (private suites), diners could eat and also enjoy a private tour of the world’s largest passenger aircraft, cockpit included.

First class at home

Tantalising extras include exquisite tableware, luxury amenities and even the option of having a chef plate and serve the meal in your home.

Buy one, get the row

Buy-one-get-one-free is a marketing gimmick as old as sales itself. It’s not surprising then that in a two-day sales blitz, Alaska Airlines offered such a sale on flights to over 100 destinations.

Because of social distancing measures blocking out middle seats, lucky purchasers of this deal were likely to end up with not just two seats but an entire three-seat row all to themselves.

All you can fly

Another attractive offering came from Air Asia. The Malaysian airline sold almost-too-good-to-be-true tickets for unlimited flights.

These passes allow ticket holders to fly within Malaysia as many times as they want within a window of the end of June 2020 to the end of March 2021.

Complimentary Covid-19 cover

In its bid to attract paying customers, Emirates has offered to cover all its passengers’ Covid-related health expenses, including any costs related to quarantining. This impressive add-on applies to all classes, is valid for a month from departure and will cover medical expenses up to 150 euros (US$177) and quarantine costs of 100 euros (US$118) per day for a fortnight.
