Well done QF.

Ha ha....17hrs in QF economy and an article released so soon??......methinks perhaps written before it even left PER! ... :hmm:

Suspect Peter Beattie has a closing ceremony speech already written as well...no doubt "Best Commonwealth Games ever" will feature in it?? :hmm:

I’m sure she had time to write it on the way.

I suspect it’s the revised arrival slot at LHR on the first day of the Summer sched that drove it, not the Dep slot out of Perth the day before.

Get stuff.

Any word on what they might do out of SYD or MEL? Any direct to EU?

Whinging about 17 hrs in economy. Back in the past, I'd travel to the UK 3 times a year to visit family. Work a full day in the office, jump on the burner in Sydney, land at LHR, jump in a hire car and drive to Newcastle in time or family dinner then clubbing in South Shields. The next morning was interesting, working out whos bed I was in and where the heck I was. Sigh, .........those were the days.

Wonder what it smelt like on arrival??????????

Probably the same as the other flights that are as long or longer run by other airlines using similar aircraft .

Aircraft interior was fine. Routine flight for which the aircraft was designed. It seems to have escaped QF PR that scores of B787 have been in service with many airlines for some years, and a few flying similar sectors!

Can anyone confirm the crew rest config for the QF 787? Is it the 1 seat, 2 bunk module which I believe is the standard option for the tech crew? Curious to know if they blocked another seat in the cabin for upright rest and which class of seat they used. I’ve been told that the 787 crew rest doesn’t meet ULH requirements (class 1 v 2 standards??) Cheers HH

Second sentence in this article sums that up.

...and maybe this bit...

Bring on the Boom airliners of the future...

Reminds me of this quote from Craig Nelson's "Rocket Men";

"The bravest man in the Apollo program was the Navy frogman who had to open the hatch of the recovered capsule after three guys had been shoehorned into it for a week."

Yeah well, ****. Qf has never done much Asia to London
Never over the Himalayas, Afghanistan, Iran, and all the other stans
crikey
:hmm:

Maggot needs to be able to indicate 'heavy sarcasm' in his post. Where's the smilie?

Haha better?
I thought it was dripping enough

Some of the muppets will believe you! Many also forget that Qantas pioneered the art of long range flying and should read up on the flights of the double sunrise with Cats in WW2.

Bummer - can't see QF10 on FR24 but can see it on Flightaware - not that long to go now. Sometimes they drop off FR24 for no apparent reason ??

Cheers

Ok it's just reappeared on FR24

Cheers
