Tickets are currently on sale for Australia’s first commercial biofuel flight, which is slated for April 13 from Sydney to Adelaide, not from Melbourne to Adelaide as some news agencies have been reporting.

The 300-seater Airbus 330 will use U.S.-imported biofuel in one of its two engines -- the same cooking oil that was previously used by Lufthansa in a six-month trial (the world's first) during which 1,200 biofuel-flights were completed between Hamburg and Frankfurt.

"Our ticketing website has not been updated to show that the April 13 flight will be run by biofuel," said Chung Kyung-rok, a representative for Qantas. "But it should be changed shortly."

One last thing for superstitious flyers -- the 13th is a Friday. But Qantas isn't worried, and you shouldn't be either.
