Well, it seems like Tullamarine (Melbourne Airport) has been having a few 'parties'. Today, the 'jumbo' plabe, Airbus-A380 landed in Melbourne as a part of a test flight. It arrived around 11am local time, 40 minutes ahead of schedule.
The plane was flying from Dubai. Anyway, the first (commercial) flight as you know will be done late this month by Singapore Airlines. It will be flying from Sydney to Singapore and back. The tickets are auctioned on eBay (by SIA themselves, not scalpers) to raise funds for charity. I am not sure whether there are still tickets.

Another special event at Melbourne Airport was the opening of its newest terminal, Terminal 4. This happened last Monday. The new terminal is for Tiger Airways, the newest airline to service the Australian domestic market.
As part of the launch, the airline (Tiger) made 15,000 seats available for an exclusive price ($10 to Launceston, $20 to Gold Coast, etc). The deal was snapped up pretty quick and have now sold out.
