London to Perth - Qantas' longest flight in business class

4 жыл бұрын

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.
Here are the links to the videos I refer to the video:

Join me and we’ll experience it together.
Route: London (LHR) to Perth (PER)
Length: 9,025 miles, 16:12 hrs
Flight: QF10 Seat 7K
Aircraft: Boeing 787-9 registration VH-ZNE (June 2018)
When: 16 July 2019

Okay, this is one year later, Dennis , in early October 2020, after 8 months of non flying. I cannot help but notice how rightly positive this review is, like most, if not all your reviews. To fly is a positive experience, regardless of some of the shortfalls, as travelling is privilege and a joy which if shared with likeminded people is a delight. Note your videos with Jeb and the Wollongong medio Paul, which I reckon have the same message: enjoy while you can and thank the people who look after you in the air as they are working whilst you are not.

Good morning Dennis, No I wasn't brought up in Australia in the 70s and 80s I was brought up in the UK in the 70s and 80s, and sadly, I am all too familiar with Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. In fact when I am walking with my dogs that annoying earworm of the theme tune often comes into my head! Great video Dennis, keep them coming. I don't get a lot of chance to fly, so I have to enjoy the flights along with you. Cheers, many thanks.

agree indeed. I once flew business with emirates, on a A-380 (i was just lucky enough that I got an upgrade at the airport) and i probably slept 1-2h on a 14h flight. Even though I was in business, I still hated that flight. I hate flying, it's the most uncomfortable experience and way of traveling.

I was brought up in the UK in the sixties and I remember Skippie. I like the way you touch the aircaft on the right of the door before you enter as a good luck token. I've been flying for over 50 years and I always do that. I was spotted once by a cabin steward who said " So that's your good luck charm then" I said yes, and it has a 100% success record so far.

Did the Perth - LHR back in Autumn, and was looking forward to seeing how it was. Very popular flight I gather and I ended up in an Economy middle seat. But didn’t think overall it was too bad. 105kg & over 6 foot. Got out for a stretch and took in the fluids. Very sensible and substantial main meal. Fell asleep approaching the Southern tip of India, and awoke at the other side of the Middle East. Landed at LHR during a quieter spell, before the rush hour, and it felt an extraordinary experience disembarking having done this Journey non-stop. This is the way to go…
