Qantas' Latest Order: A350-1000 for Project Sunrise!

Started by AviationPHL8 1 months ago 2 replies 45 views
So Qantas just finalized their order for the A350-1000s. They're planning to use them for those ultra-long-haul 'Project Sunrise' flights. We're talking Sydney to London non-stop. That's a crazy long flight, about 20 hours! Can't even imagine being in the air for that long.

Anyway, I think it's pretty cool that they chose the A350-1000 for this. It's supposed to be super efficient and comfy for passengers, but I wonder how it stacks up against the 777X, which was also in the running. Anyone else think the A350 was the right choice?

Also, how do you guys feel about these ultra-long-haul flights in general? A blessing for skipping layovers or just too much time in the air? Curious to hear what others think about this big move by Qantas!
20 hours is wild! I think Qantas made a solid choice with the A350-1000. It's known for being fuel-efficient and having a quieter cabin, which should make those long flights a bit more bearable. The 777X could've been interesting too, but with the A350 already flying and proving itself, it seems like a safer bet. As for ultra-long-hauls, I'd love to avoid layovers but not sure how my legs would feel after all that time in a seat. Anyone else worried about cabin fever on these flights?
