Great P.R.!! And QF's upstaging of AN's inaugural flight into a Japanese airport remains a classic. :-) For those who haven't heard the story, AN had called a press conference to cover the first arriving AN flight. Five minutes before it was due, QF brought in the captivating Wunala Dreaming, caught the photographers' attention, and poor AN was forgotten in the rush. Ouch.
