New ultra-long haul: Australian airline plans 17-hour flight – travel news

If all goes well, the list of the “longest flights in the world” will be expanded by a superlative this year. Because Qantas is planning a direct connection between Melbourne and Dallas. The Australian carrier announced that the new route would start on December 2, 2022 and would be served by Boeing 787 Dreamliners. That reports CNN Travel. It also reads that Qantas offers several long-haul flights to the United States, but that this is the first time in history that a commercial airline has established a non-stop service between Dallas and Melbourne. The calculated flight time is 17 hours. You have to bring a lot of “sedentary meat” with you. Tickets for the inaugural flight are available now.
