The Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft will fly over famous Aussie attractions including Sydney Harbour and the Great Barrier Reef. The jet will also do a low flyover over some of the country’s top landmarks, including Uluru and Bondi Beach.

Tickets cost between $575 and $2,765 and the flight will depart on October 10th.
