Yes, that really is a koala being served sparkling seltzer water on a Qantas flight. This lucky animal sat in first class on a trip from from Brisbane to Singapore as Australian airline Qantas celebrated the 50th anniversary of Singapore’s independence. The flight saw four koalas – Idalia, Chan, Pellita and Paddle – travel to the Southeast Asian city-state for a 6-month staycation at the Singapore Zoo, in an effort to strengthen ties between the nations, said a news release from Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop. At least one of the koalas enjoyed the perks of business class on the trip, as it chewed eucalyptus and received a towel and a drink from a Qantas stewardess.
