It’s not surprising that Australian airline Qantas is used to long-haul flights – after all, Australia is a fair distance away from, well, anywhere. But the airline is about to launch the world’s longest flight in a super-luxurious new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.
Here are the details about the world’s new longest flight and an inside look at the gorgeous new plane that will be making the journey.
Qantas will begin flying from Perth to London in March 2018 using a brand-new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.
