Qantas will begin service on their first Airbus A380 on October 20 on the Melbourne-Los Angeles route. Also, entering a fare battle with the new Virgin carrier V Australia, 380 seats for A380 flights 11/1-12/8 were available starting yesterday for US$380, but are now sold out. V Australia begins SYD-LAX service December 16th.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
Very cool stuff. I'm glad LAX is gonna get the A380 soon. Will make for some great shooting.
Email me anytime at [email protected].
Note the QF A380 will initially only fly in on Mondays and Fridays before increasing to Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday services.

I'm not sure how much of a "battle" the fare was with V Australia considering the offered flights at the sale price were before V Australia starts, and a similar sale was offered in Singapore and London.
