In 1947, flying from Sydney to London took FOUR DAYS and SEVEN stops. 🦘✈️

Fast forward to 2027, and Qantas is about to do the exact same journey... without stopping once.

That’s right. Project Sunrise will see the world’s first nonstop Sydney to London flight, covering more than 16,000km and spending up to 22 hours in the air.

Somewhere between take-off and landing you’ll probably watch every movie, question every life decision, and become best friends with the cabin crew. 😂

What started as the iconic Kangaroo Route with stops in Darwin, Singapore, Kolkata, Karachi, Cairo and Rome has evolved into one of aviation’s most ambitious achievements.

The question is: would you rather spend 22 hours nonstop, or break the journey up with a layover? 👇
