Yes flying OZ to Europe direvt is historic but all the other stuff is.just over the top rubbish. It isnt the worlds longest flight. The fact they have a standby 787 ready to go is laughable....the aircraft has been flying for 3 weeks, it hasnt just arrived.
I wonder how many people are actually paying to be on the flight considering the media, airline execs, corporate comms and others.....
I do feel for the punters stuck in Y
