    Between nine and eleven minutes into the video, it was all too plain to see that the video was cut and edited. Complete and total nonsense. No one has ever flown a direct flight to Johannesburg from Sydney. Just not possible due to the flight time and fuel restrictions.

      Of course it's edited. You don't want to watch 14hrs of non-stop video to prove it. Check for yourself mate: www.qantas.com I have flown that route many, many times. 14hr05min Sydney-Johannesburg. It's usually shorter coming back because of the 200km/h tail trade winds. They used to fly 747-400s, but they've been retired. They now use 787 Dreamliners.

This is to get out of the headwinds on that route. The trip from JHB to Sydney is 3 hours shorter because of the 200 km/h tail wind. The direct flights from Sydney to Buenos Aires actually overfly Antarctica and get near the South Pole, but I have not done that one. Using the poles are straight lines to destinations, even from London to the USA west coast, which is why the 747 fell on Lockerby, which is north of Heathrow...
