Will you fly Qantas 20 hours non-stop flights?
« on: May 02, 2022, 05:07:06 AM »

Qantas Airways Ltd. revived a plan to start direct flights connecting Australia’s east coast with New York and London as it finally ordered Airbus SE jets for the ultra-long services. The airline said Monday it’s buying 12 A350-1000s that can fly non-stop from Australia to any city in the world. Commercial services will start from Sydney in late 2025, Qantas said.

Wow, hadn't realized QF F will have seat and bed, which is a first since LH F retired theirs...

(Well, I guess the new SQ R has, too)

Either way, very cool.

That's officially stated to start in 2029, if everything goes well

Why not? All of this is extremely preliminary.

The going 777X project has been going on for their and they keep pushing the first delivery date further and it’s not at 2025, and this is for a company with an established track record and not a brand new design. Boom is at a much earlier phase so 2029 and the agreement predicated on Boom meeting certain standards is totally SOP.

Qantas’ Wellbeing Zone
The fun doesn’t end there. Qantas is installing what it calls a ‘Wellbeing Zone’ for all Economy and Premium Economy passengers – although I’m sure Business and First Class guests can use it too.

Qantas unveils its ultra-longhaul A350s
The Wellness Zone is an area around the galley and emergency exits between the Premium Economy and Economy cabins. Qantas is marketing it as an area to stand up and stretch, with handles and upholstered walls for comfort. A large screen will also display a recommended series of exercises.

In addition to offering some open space, you’ll also be able to grab snacks and drinks from here, similar to Virgin’s Wander Wall.

Overall this seems more of a way to keep the weight of the aircraft down than a real attempt at passenger wellness, although the creation of an exercise space is a big bonus for Economy passengers.

It’s an intuitive win-win once you already have the dead space because you have to keep the weight below a certain number anyway.

I've flown TLV-LAX more times than I can count, and I was always going nuts towards the 15th hour in J.. I cant picture 20h (especially in Y).

TLV-LAX is my go-to flight and it always feels like i was on plane for only two min
that said 20 hrs is alot different than 14-15 without chalav yisrael coffee..
