If you have the time and money, you can celebrate new years eve in a Airbus A380 flying over the south pole. A company called Antarctica flights charters a Quantas Airbus A380 for an Antarctica tour flight over the south pole. The Airbus A380, the largest passenger plane ever built will leave Sydney on new years eve, stop in Melbourne, and then head for the south pole.

The plan is to be over the south pole at midnight, and to fly figure 8's over the polar region for 4 hours, for sight seeing. They have been cleared to fly at 2000 feet above the highest terrain in the area. They will then head back to Melbourne and Sydney. The total flight will last around 11 1/2 hours, and cover around 9500 Kilometers.

Throughout the flight, there will be experts giving commentary on the antarctic tour area, and telling their personal stories about being there. There will also be video documentaries that the passenger can watch, and a jazz band will be playing in the lounge area. The flight cost includes 2 meals.
