It’s the first scheduled direct non-stop service between the UK and Australia and when it launched Qantas hyped it up like nothing else. So now that it’s had a chance to settle what is this ultra-long-haul flight really like? And how does flying non-stop compare to the traditional one-stop services via the Gulf and Asian hubs? Join me to find out.
At just over 9,000 miles the London to Perth route is the 3rd longest flight in the world. What makes this one unique is that it links two previously unlinked continents – Europe and Australia. (I assume in a post-Brexit world the UK has not declared itself a separate continent yet!)
I fly from London to Perth in the comfort of Qantas business class on the 787. This business class flight review on the Qantas 787 covers the entire Qantas business class experience from the Qantas lounge at London Heathrow right through to the inflight service and landing at Perth Airport.
