London-Sydney flight

Quote:

Qantas Flight QF9 completed its 14,498km (9,009-mile) journey from Perth in just over 17 hours.

The airline is using the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, which is twice as fuel-efficient as the Boeing 747.

It is part of ambitious plans by Qantas to add ultra long-haul flights to its schedules.

I do not think I could do it. May be in 1st class but I make no promises. I love flying and I love to travel. Going to Australia is on my bucket list. I just do not think I can be on a plane for 15 hrs to go from here to Sydney much less the 17 hrs for this flight.

Perhaps someone will bring back a super sonic passenger plane.
