So, Qantas just placed an order for a bunch of Airbus A350-1000s. They're planning to use these for their Project Sunrise, which is all about flying non-stop from Sydney and Melbourne to places like London and New York. Pretty ambitious! These flights are supposed to start around 2025.
I think it's pretty cool to see such long-haul routes becoming a reality, but I do wonder how they'll manage passenger comfort on such long journeys. Those 20-hour flights are no joke.
Anyone else think this is a game-changer for long-haul travel? Or maybe it's just a bit too much? I'm curious what you guys think about the A350-1000s being the aircraft of choice for this project. Is it really the best fit for these ultra-long-haul routes? Would love to hear your thoughts!
