The World's Longest Non-Stop Flight

It will be the longest non-stop flight.

A new flight will be the longest non-stop journey. It is currently held by Singapore Airlines, taking 19 hours from Singapore to New York.

Qantas will launch a new non-stop route in 2027 from Sydney to London. It won't hold the record for long.

The plane has a 20,000-litre fuel tank. It will travel 10,573 miles and is called 'the final frontier of long-haul travel'.

Travel expert Simon Calder shared details after visiting Airbus.

The plane is a specially modified Airbus A350 Twin Jet for Qantas to fly nonstop from London to Sydney.

The plane will fly from London to Sydney direct.

It will take over 20 hours in the air. It's something no airline has done before.

Passengers usually stop in the Middle East, but there's demand for a direct flight.

Qantas believes some customers will pay more for a direct flight.

Some passengers don't want to change planes. Qantas thinks they will sell these seats.

Simon asked Qantas about fuel prices affecting the flight.

The airline sees demand for direct flights to Australia, so it won't stop in the Middle East.

Qantas is making the plane more comfortable due to the flight's length.

There will be fewer passengers, 238, to make it more comfortable.

The first record-breaking flight was to depart from New York, not London. New York will get its own direct flight, taking less time.
