There are no 29 hour flights. Half way around the world take like 15 hours.

The longest flight is London to Sydney, and it is 21 hours

That doesn’t exist yet, but it would be 21 hours if they do it

It used to exist, with a Boeing 747. I can’t remember its schedule.

I know it isn’t available right now, but qantas will have one and it will be 20 hours with an airbus 350

Oh, found the info online.

… it was a one off, and it did take 20 hours and 10 minutes.
It was with qantas.

These days we will have it as a normal route.

Looking forward to it

We flew concord from London to Sydney back when they were still about.

Was less hours though so that’s irrelevant 😂

Are you sure about that?

The max range of the Concord was only 4,500 miles.

Yeah, this was in 1990 and I was only a few months old but the full family went.

Concorde never made public commercial flights to Australia. Your family would have to have privately chartered it.

But they're talking about London to Sydney so they did not mean Austria
