"Taylor Swift's Final Eras Tour Show in Sydney: A380 Superjumbo, Record Crowds, and Bag Policy"

Qantas replaced three flights from Melbourne to Sydney with an Airbus A380 due to high demand for air travel during Taylor Swift's Australian tour and severe storm warnings in Sydney. The A380, typically used for long-haul international flights, transported 485 passengers originally booked on separate flights, as the storm forecast limited flights into Sydney airport. The airline's decision was influenced by the "incredibly high demand" for flights into the city because of Swift's tour, with over 600,000 people attending her shows in Sydney and Melbourne.
