BACKPACKERS EXPRESS is the latest brainchild coming out of Australia according to reports from down under. The airline plans to be operating a pair of Boeing 747s between Manchester and Sydney by mid-summer. One class with a bar up the front where first class used to be (which some of us have seen before on a Virgin press trip). The Jumbo is set to feature engines painted as beer cans and giant 'smiley' faces on the nose cone and tail. Stopovers will include Delhi and Bangkok. The would-be carrier has a website as do all the other bright ideas which used to be called ”paper airlines”. Now they are ”virtual carriers”.
