So, it looks like Alaska Airlines might be hinting at a new super long-haul route! In their new safety video for the Boeing 787-9s, there's a mention of Sydney. Seems like it could be their longest nonstop flight, clocking in around 7,700 miles. That's a pretty big jump for them, right? I'm curious if this was intentional or a little slip-up.
If it's true, I think it would be pretty cool to see Alaska Airlines expanding to such a distant destination. Sydney's a great city, and it would open up some interesting travel options. But I wonder how they'll handle the logistics and costs associated with a flight that long. Also, aren't there already a lot of carriers on that route? I mean, competition must be fierce.
Has anyone heard more about this or got any thoughts on how successful this could be for Alaska? And do you think there are enough people flying from the US West Coast to Sydney to make it work? Let me know what you guys think!
