Summary
Qantas is about to revolutionize long-haul travel with the world’s longest nonstop flight, linking Sydney and London in a jaw-dropping 22-hour journey — all part of their ambitious Project Sunrise. Powered by specially modified Airbus A350-1000ULR jets with extra fuel tanks, these planes can fly over 10,000 miles without refueling, slashing travel time and cutting out layovers. Only 238 passengers will board across four cabins, and tickets go on sale in February 2027, with flights launching later that year. The airline’s been working on this since 2017 and is also eyeing a Sydney-to-New York route next — all while training crews and preparing for what could be the future of ultra-long-haul air travel.
