The World's LONGEST Flight - QANTAS London to Sydney

- An in-depth trip report on-board Qantas Project Sunrise London to Sydney non-stop research flight QF7879. Check out all the unusual flight details, research, well brings and the secret of double sunrise on the World’s Longest non-stop flight.
The flight is not a typical passenger flight; it is a delivery flight and a research flight. The brand new Boeing 787-9, VH-ZNJ painted in Qantas special Centenary livery operated this history making flight in just 19 hours and 19 minutes from London to Sydney non-stop covering over 17,000km! (10,500 miles)
Qantas has named its endeavor “Project Sunrise” after the airline’s historic ‘Double Sunrise’ endurance flights during the Second World War, which remained airborne long enough to see two sunrises. This flight is a prove of overcoming the final frontier of aviation, linking non-stop flights from East Coast of Australia to London and New York.

Longest flight in the world is one with a screaming kid that will not be quiet.
Clare Ravenwood Fuck that.
Or the seat kicking.
I flew from Perth to Sydney and I had someone who would no stop kicking my seat.
@@jessmartin2340
I would definitely make it clear not on my watch.
LOL
Jess Martin dude someone was doing that to my mum and screaming so she literally stood up (after telling the kid and the mum to stop like 5 times) and yelled at the mum to control her children
Literally after the flight some random passenger went up to us and said those kids are brats and we did the right thing
The real challenge is if they did 19 hours in economy with no special treatment
True stuff
Ikrr i have never took first class or bissness class before
Done 14 before, it was fine
xMizunderstoodx actually airlines who have a route that is 17 hours or more aren’t allowed to have economy on that aircraft only PE BC and FC
pancake yum Oof
Whenever I travel, I do my best to always be super respectful and courteous. It's nice to see how respectful and kind Sam is to everyone. Love your adventures my friend.
the cure for this length of time is a sleeping pill and a beer------i have gone to riyadh saudi arabia to NYC many times------12 hours-------start off with some beer and half of a sleeping pill----or ---or muscle relaxer---check with your doctor-------first------------it works
yes
Fake
Why wouldn't you be? I always fly WJ 787's in one of two seats (I'll change plans to suit my travel preference) and the level of service is incredible. Respect garners respect and I have nothing but respect for the airport staff and inflight staff I deal with. With the amount of BS they deal with, they seem somewhat relieved when you smile and treat them with respect.
@@oz_medias - Everyone should be, but sadly many are rude, arrogant, condescending, or feel entitled. Drunkenness exacerbates those bad traits even more, which is a problem with some travelers as well.
3 times I flew a former "longest flight in the world". LA to Singapore on Singapore Airlines. 18 hours in the air. Even the coach seats were more like business class. Lots of legroom, lots of movies on screens on each seat, and this was back in 2003-2004. It was a modified Boeing 777. Loved those flights.
What did you do for a living back then?
@@amanguptalko - I was picking up boxes of computer chips for new cars.
@@need100k Dayum. How does one get a job like that? that allows one to fly all over the world in business class?
@@amanguptalko I was an independent contractor as a courier in California. Most of my work involved picking up super urgent packages (including human body parts for transplant) and delivering them to or from local airports. But I also was on call to pick up or deliver to anywhere in the world on very short notice. In a span of two years I made about 40 international trips by air. It's been a long time but it's still a necessary job so you just have to search for it.
I don't think that was B777. It was most likely an A340-500.
Back in 2003-2004.
For LA to Singapore route, A345 was the only plane that can fly that far and was the only plane that Singapore Airline chose to do that route. It was Singapore airline's longest flight and also was the world longest flight.
B777 couldn't fly that long, even for Extended Range version. There's a SIN-LAX flight for B777, but they have to stop in Tokyo first, then fly to LAX.
In today, Singapore airline is using the specifically modified A350 to do SIN-LAX flight, (A350ULR, Ultra Long Range. Airbus literally made this specific mod for Singapore Airline, there's no other company with this A350 mod)
London to Sydney. Imagine the engines runing that aircraft. Engineering at its best
most planes usually don't need maintenance on the engines after every flight...
@@qduff checked, yes. but in need of major maintenance is a no unless we're talking about occasional wrenching to address something discovered during an inspection or whatever.
Engines are Made by Rolls Royce !
Salute to Folks At Rolls Royce !
💪
True, and they could even fly further with aerial refuelling like the US military does their Lockheed jets!
Yes indeed. Let us all saute the inventors of this unbelievable tech...
You’re like a VIP in the aviation industry now lol

It's november of 2019 and you're just now realizing this?
Thank you. This is not possible without all of the viewers support. My goal is to create newworthy content and bring that experience together to all our viewers.
Hi Sam chui
The mutual respect and camaraderie in these videos is so important and refreshing to see.
Thank you so much for sharing these experiences with us.
Wow, double sunrise. Emotional after the wings were clipped due to the pandemic . Added to this historical flight was hearing the 2nd Officer, Chris honoring his grand father who fought in my country, Papua New Guinea. Sadly he just passed on and was not able to hear of his grandson's historical flight.
Rest in love, Wantok❤🇵🇬🇵🇬
Congratulations to the second officer, Chris Agnew for being part of this history making research flight. I am watching from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬. Good to hear that your grandfather flew here in PNG during WW2
Only thing is it's not the longest flight.
Auckland to London is,
@@blake9358 Auckland to London requires at minimum one stop as of now. Mostly LA but also Hong Kong etc... LA is the shortest option taking about 1 day 1-2 hours. This is longest flight as in non stop flight.
@@blake9358 For some reason your reply disappeared, did you delete it?
Yeah there was a test flight done, afaik Sam was on board there as well, BUT that was actually New York to Auckland. Which is roughly 2 kilometers less distance (actually around 1,74)... and it's in operation now as a nonstop flight as well.
London to Auckland is as of yet NOT a non stop flight. All of them are either 1 or more stops.
@@youtubemodsaresnowflakelef7692 That's inaccurate. There was a non stop flight between Auckland and London operated by Air NZ.
Furthermore Auckland to New York would not be the world's longest flight. Air NZ actually boasted how the Auckland to London non stop flight pipped the Sydney to London flight which is currently the world's longest non stop route
Thank you Sam for interviewing Chris. Watching from 🇵🇬 and I'm really proud of you Chris 👏
In this Plane, There are
1 % passengers
1 % flight crew
98 % cameraman 😂
Lmao true tho
Lol true
True
no wonder the plane didnt crash
Cameraman dont die
6:30 to 6:36 the aircraft is full with camera men
Well done, Mr. Chui!! I'm the son of a retired 747 captain and love aviation supremely. Thank you for keeping that love alive.
A footnote on my previous commentary. Not only am I the son of a retired 747 captain but I am a pilot myself. Dad was my flight instructor.
Steve B That’s pretty rare isn’t it? What aircraft do you fly?
Agent S, I fly Cessna 172 Skyhawk, Piper Cherokee 140,180 and Cherokee235.
Steve B Ok gotcha. I was thinking your dad was your trainer on a commercial airline, which I had heard was very rare.
Im the son of a 737 iran air pilot
How amazing was that!! And the fact that they had heaps of remaining fuel after such a long journey, wow!
What an inspiring video, as an Australian & a Queenslander I was in tears by the end, please keep making videos like this, we all need it.
I just want to congratulate the engines. 👏🏻
It’s a Dreamliner, quiet, efficient engines.
IAM A FRICKIN HELICOPTER BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Plot twist. They changed the engine halfway through the flight.
Only in Australia that we have engineers that built a plane to fly this long
@@jamesfalzon9364 You know that is American, right?
Glad to see Qantas still employ older flight attendances. Well done!
Experienced flight attendances = better service (generally speaking), Qantas is more focused on providing good service and thus keeps older flight attendances around.
The younger dumb ones start with Jetstar! 😂
@@swansbear lol i was on a jetstar jet and the thing wasnt clean
gusy629 lol the joke going around is they all must be from Ansett they’re so fucking ancient

I just stumbled across these wonderful video’s Sam and appreciate them thoroughly! Not only do you make the viewer feel as though we’re with you, but the sense of adventure comes through in every episode. Then it brings back memories when I would mimic my boss’s reply long ago when asked where’s my home: Seat 1B. Thank you!
What a fascinating and educating video Sam, thank you. I remember quite a few years ago, sitting at the gate and looking out of the window of my 747 LAX-LHR flight.
On the adjacent gate sat a Quantas 747 bound for Sydney. Now I know why it was liveried Longreach.
longreach is actually the town in Australia where the Airline was founded back in the early to mid 1900s
That annoying moment when ur vacation is over and you start the descent into your destination
Yeah. In fact the entire journey right from the beginning feels annoying ( I mean when holidays are over and now you have to go back to college hostel)
Me yesterday lol
Same here. My vacation is ending soon then I'll have to go on an hour flight then a six hour flight then an eleven hour flight. Just to go back to Australia. Oof. I am twelve years old with my nine year old twin brothers and my mom.

WOW, what a fantastic video Sam. Some great stories there and views. Very emotional watching it touch the ground in Sydney. Beautiful.
I flew from Sydney to London with a refuel for one hour in Darwin. Watching this made me cry remembering that flight back and my last taste of Aussie life, such wonderful people, cared for so well by staff. I left Australia for my home country of the UK only 8 months ago, and there isn't a day I don't miss that wonderful country.
Oh that's sad. Please come back some time the country misses you. 😢

You just gotta concentrate on the destination. Rog.
To quote the spice girls song. When 2 becomes 1 time to worry. A380 for me thanks . Rog.
In “just” 19 hours. I can already hear what people in 100 years will say about that.
Faster than 19 hours is possible today also. But it is not practical as it won't be a successful business model. Concorde is the perfect example.
Earth to Earth with the Starship of SpaceX. Should take an hour or so I guess. 😋🚀

It’s government propaganda duh
They don’t.
Sam thanks very much for this really interesting upload, love all the work that you do and I really don't know how I missed this One!!!! Some FANTASTIC facts learned watching this. Stay safe and well everyone x
One of your best videos, Sam. What a great moment in history!
I like how the passengers are basically the aviation enthusiasts and their cameramen.
What else you expect? A crying baby? Lol
Sam's camera man for his fantastic videos on CZcams
I think it was an experimental flight
Hats off to the Captain,the crew and to all those who participated in this flight.
Thanks again for bringing us on board with you Sam.
this was such a cool video sam, thank you for sharing and creating this!
Great vid. Wonderful airline with an enviable record for long haul flight over 100yrs. The world relies upon and is grateful for professional airlines like this.

At least he's not flying "The Residence" XD
See if there would be non-stop flight from Asia directly to Buenos Aires in the future:)
Amazing and congratulations to all the crew members for such brilliance.
Excellent job Sam, love the history, present and future of this remarkable route. I hope to watch your upcoming SpaceX London to Sydney flight showcasing the 30 minute travel time. Keep up your good work!

But we're saving the planet by using re-usable water bottles!!!
Whatever this plane Is still very Fuel efficiet
it's more fuel-efficient than taking an indirect flight.
Jørgen Ramdahl they used about 90-95 tons to transport 50 people about 17,800kms not THAT bad
Jørgen Ramdahl how DARE you
Very interesting. I took a long flight on Qantas from Los Angeles to Auckland, New Zealand several years ago. Even then Qantas was on top of the science to regulate our circadian rhythms and make the flight seem much shorter than it actually was. Some of the methods employed on this flight were used years ago on that long flight. Meals were given at calculated times as were the times the cabin lights were extinguished and we were asked to try to sleep. I am still impressed to this day by how well Qantas accomplished this to maximize the enjoyable experience of the flight.
I went to Australia around the time the video was uploaded. Wonderful place and unforgettable experiences !
Imagine this flight but with no entertainment
No entertainment is totally fine. Worse will be no booze.
Ask ex-prisoners about that)
Paramjot Singh true.
And imagine you are the only person in that flight
Criszck 14 I would kill somebody
Lol I was like, “ WHERES THE PASSENGERS” and then I realized it was a research flight
Wow!!! Hats off to Captain Helen Trenery! Aviation history will remember her name! Good job,Sam! Thank you for this video!
It was so great. I flew to Ethioia and US 6 times a 12 to 13 hours flight. I think this one is the longest one. The treatment makes the best flight too. It was a great endeavor to the future aviation progress. Great Airliner! Qantas!

Economic hurdles of this “advertising stunt” were ALREADY well known to ANY big-bird Pilot with a calculator. Pointless to spend this much time on a plane when they are still flying at same speeds they flew 50 YEARS ago. Super sonic travel needs to be resurrected with MODERN technology to gain the efficiency and practical implementation. “Noise pollution”? Yeah, that’s been rectified years ago by scientists. Someone call Musk yet??
Absolutely stunning flight! Making history in aviation!
Aviation record meant to be broken. Next frontier is to see flight from London to Auckland for project Dark Side of the moon.
Make it London to Christchurch for extra try hard

Lovely! Thank you for sharing. Tears of joy watching the end of the video. 💕
A real longest flight would be:
1. Sitting in the economy
2. Crying and screaming child
3. Full of passengers in during stimulation flight.
4. Dont occupy the business or first class seats.
Try to be realistic sometimes.
All the passengers involved should sit in economy area so that they really feels the longest test flight..Not all passengers can afford the business or first class seats.
That’s actually crazy however I don’t remember last time I ate a carpet same
My brother was vomited upon by a little girl. Grosses shit I have ever seen
Nah you are just jealous XD

so if you flew from London in January to Sydney you would be flying from mid winter to mid summer in 19 hours.
True, but that could happen in a much shorter trip if a flight went directly south, such as from New York City to Santiago, Chile.
Yeah when my family went from Australia to England we were absolutely freezing when we landed. And tired!

That's not 20 hours in a 747. That's 1 hour to Melbourne, 8 hours to Singapore, 11 hours to London. This is a non stop flight for 19 hours. Yeah it sucks, I did Brisbane - Dubai (14 hours) - London (7 hours) and that sucked as well but I don't say I spent 21 hours on a plane.
Am currently a student pilot in Indonesia. Wishing to God that one day i might be given the opportunity to fly with Qantas. Thank you for making Aviation a wonderful career 👏🏻

Good luck
Don't even think of working with Qantas,they have a bad reputation of not treating their employees right
