Perth to London
To give some historical perspective to this 17 hour flight, IIRC the wartime Catalinas that operated the Double Sunrise flights did not have single engine performance for the first 16 hours.
I see they are currently flying over Iran, will that be their normal flight path??
Expect Perth to more or less overhead Dubai and then the same route 99% of the QF1 & 9 services have been using since the Iraqi airspace closed.

And they probably didn’t have to worry about offending anyone by calling them a man or woman either!

Rated De,
If the QF/EK partnership is so bad, then explain the reasons for it's renewal (with no QF flights to DXB).
While some might scoff at the media frenzy today, not that long ago there were complaints about the lack of attention in the face of a growing Jetstar. The public don't care if the aircraft is years old, nor do the Qantas pilots lucky enough to transfer onto something new. It's about time we had a good Qantas news story, and I certainly hope this new PER-LHR service is the great success needed to encourage more CAPEX and growth for mainline.

Watched the boarding hoo-ha live on the news, cooked and ate nice dinner, couple of wines, watched a movie, 8hrs sleep in my bed, shower, gym, lazy breakfast at cafe, mowed the lawn and now having a relaxing coffee on deck. And that flight still has 2hrs to go, I might even get to have lunch before arrival time.
I can only imagine how the crew feels at this time. Yuck!

Poor AJ!
(Never thought I'd say that)
Will the UK media be going crazy when they arrive?
Damn right!
"Cheating bloody Aussies!" ... thanks Steve!
