Qantas to Fly World's Longest B747 Route

In 1989, Qantas showed off the range of the B747-400 by flying nonstop from London to Sydney in a little more than 20 hours. The trip required special "high specific gravity" fuel and there were no passengers onboard. Now, over 20 years later, QFA will get to use the ultra-long range model of the B747, with a full load of passengers, on what will be the world's longest nonstop B747 route, Sydney to Dallas.
