QANTAS: buy a used, fully stocked 747 galley cart

SOLD OUT of both full and half bar carts – before 5pm AEST

---

Today, Qantas gives you the chance to buy 1000 Qantas 747 galley carts stocked with champagne, Australian red and white wine, Tim Tams, PJs and and First Class Sheridan throw.

These carts come from the airline’s recently retired 747 aircraft before they were retired, and sent off to the airline graveyard. Qantas bid farewell to its last Qantas 747 in July

“These pre-loved carts served Qantas and our customers well during their world travels from London and Los Angeles to Singapore and Santiago, with each one averaging around 2,000 flights. While we no longer have use for them, they still have life in them, especially for those with an appreciation for aviation collectables and an eye for design.

This is another timely reminder to wear your seatbelt when seated. Holding you close to your seat will protect you from the sort of injuries sustained on this flight, when unsecured passengers flew to the ceiling of the aircraft, and then came crashing down once the ‘drop’ ceased.

The hope will be that this is an anomaly – a ‘freak accident’ in casual parlance. If it is a systemic error either mechanical or electronic, then this is a larger concern for the airlines that fly Boeing Dreamliner 787 aircraft. Let’s hope it isn’t. If it is, it will pile on the woes to Boeing’s existing stack.

Would I love a used Qantas galley trolly = YES!

Will I pay close to AU$1,500 = NO! – OK, I’m thinking about it. Oh dear, left it too late.

If you want one of these – I suggest you get in quick.

Call me a tight wad, but given the mass beaching of Jumbo’s going on in the Californian plane boneyard, I think there might be a bit of a flooded market.

Actually, when a trawled the internet – these look like a good idea. Empty half-sized carts are going for more on Etsy and Border Bar, and that’s without the delivery.
