The New York-Sydney route had never been done without a stop in Los Angeles.When it landed, the flight, designated QF7879, became the longest commercial flight in the world, surpassing Singapore Airlines' regular commercial service between Singapore and New York, though next month's test of the London-Sydney flight is set to surpass this one.Airplanes and airlines are more technically advanced now than ever before, with better fuel efficiency, longer ranges, and computer-aided logistical planning.

"While the technical component of such a flight would be possible once Boeing and Airbus complete their ultra-long-haul jets, the toll on the human body and brain is a legitimate concern.Nearly 20 hours in the air is a long time, particularly when you add time spent waiting for boarding to finish, for taxiing, and for runway availability.

Eventually, other passengers and crew members came over to participate, so the group moved into the aisles.This would obviously be impossible on a normal flight, though Joyce said the communal area he envisions on future ultra-long-haul flights could offer short guided stretching and exercise videos on monitors.I slept for an astonishing eight hours and 30 minutes, my best-ever sleep on a plane, even in first or business class.

Qantas flies the route with about a 90-minute stop in Los Angeles.Shaving four or five hours off that flight time can be crucial for business travelers who need to maximize time on the ground.

Qantas has also said it will launch the flights only if it can get a favorable price for the planes, regardless of whether it goes with Boeing or Airbus.
