    1. Find it odd how Qantas have taken so long with “Project Sunrise” yet Singapore Airlines already cracked it a few years ago with their Singapore-New York route

    2. Are they actually going to do it or just continuously milk this for free advertising?

    3. Would be interested in this as I’d like to go to Australia again. Suspect it will cost a fair bit more than the likes of Etihad 1 stopping though

    4. My grandmother once flew to Sydney from London sometime in the 50s.

      IIRC her route was the following:

      Heathrow > Paris > Rome > Istanbul > Tehran > Mumbai > Bangkok > Singapore > Darwin > Sydney

      That’s 8 stops along the way and it took several days to get there.

      Pretty amazing that’s gonna be a direct flight soon

    5. You have to feel sorry for the crew. That is a very long shift. Even with rest time and sleep, it’s still 22 hours on the clock essentially.

    6. The engineering and innovation involved in these modern jetliners is simply incredible, it boggles a simple mind such as mine.

      22 hours on a flight, no thanks. That’s a trip with at least one stopover for me.

      All this effort and expense for a 22 hour flight when you can get a 22.5 hr flight via Shanghai today, at a fraction of the price and probably better planes and service

      Edit: downvotes for pointing out a simple fact? Try looking on a flight app for flights less than 23hrs end to end, there are quite a lot of them, including 22 hours and 5 minutes with Etihad

      It won’t happen non stop until Iranian and Ukrainian / Russian airspace open

    10. Just imagining a symphony of collectively clicking
      backs on exiting the plane. 13 hours is fun enough, so this flight will certainly not be on my books.
