  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ต.ค. 2018
  • Currently, the Qantas 787 flying from Perth to London is the third longest flight in the world. Clocking in at just over 17 hours, the flight from Perth to London links Australia and the United Kingdom in a way that's never been possible before.
    As an #AvGeek, this flight has been on my "bucket list" for a long time. I'm excited to share Qantas Dreamliner service from Perth to London with you!
    Like all ultra long-haul flying, Qantas 787 service from Perth to London is unique because it requires a lot of time in the seat. By watching this video, you'll get a sense of what it's like to fly this route without as much effort. Qantas Business Class is among the best out there. Especially on the Qantas Dreamliner.
    I'll share my experiences with the Qantas Business Class crew, the Qantas 787 seat, the Qantas Dreamliner Inflight Entertainment, and the Qantas Perth to London service.
    This video highlights the food, drinks, and experiences from this Qantas Perth to London flight.

    Not being able to look out the window whenever you like must suck. That's the reason you sit by a window. I've flown many times at night and the view you get on full moon is one of the most beautiful sights. The moons reflctions off the land, sea and clouds is just magic. If you're lucky you'll be treated to a lightening show from a thunderstorms in the distance. Great video.

      I wouldn't fly this route for that exact reason - I decided to fly with SQ via SIN on the A380 in Business Class and no problem looking out the window when I wanted. I then had a couple of days to adjust in Singapore before continuing in Business Class to Perth. I'm glad I did it that way. When you are spending thousands on a flight, you want to get it right!

Just want to tell you that no matter how good it looks with out decent sound nobody is gona sit thru till the end. A small advice: your viewers don't need any running commentry what they need is the natural sound of the Airport and the Aircraft. Hope you will take the suggestions seriously !!

    Hi Jeb, I thanked you for your review as my wife and I were booked on this flight from Melbourne to Heathrow on 1 April 2019. The flight was fabulous and we agree that the international lounge in Perth is one of the most welcoming lounges on the planet. Best of all, my wife who unlike me is no flight geek, absolutely loved it. After a memorable seven weeks in Spain, Portugal, France , Netherlands and Hungary, the Qantas flight back was similarly outstanding. Qantas staff on some of the sectors were the same and recognised us. It helped us to resolve to book the first opportunity for proposed long Qantas flights between Melbourne and hopefully Paris, or Chicago and perhaps New York. Looking forward to seeing you in the sky on one of those!

    Jeb, superb video as always! I always appreciate your honesty about what the airlines do and do not do well. The window issue on this flight would have driven me crazy. But it looks like from the comments below that this may be a standard practice among the airlines. This is a flight I will likely never take, so I get more from simply seeing all the very neat things you get to experience and explain to us so well. In light of that, if you ever wonder if your videos are too long...they aren't!! Of course, it's easy for me to say that since the only work I do is clicking the start icon on my computer. I know there are countless man hours AND man dollars that go into producing these videos. Just know that they're greatly appreciated not only by other flyers who are looking for the best travel tips out there but by people like me who take 17-hour trips in a short 20-minute TH-cam video just because we can. Keep them coming; we love living vicariously through you with every single trip you post. I guarantee you you'll never hear the words "your videos are too long" from my lips...er...fingers!

    The only reason you got into Heathrow with no delay at the arrivals gate was because only long haul flights are allowed to take-off to land that early. I can't remember how long the flight has to be to be classed as long haul but if it's short, say Paris to London it cant take off if it'll land before 5am or after 11pm. After 11pm all flights are technically not allowed to land but the occasional one does

I would have to go first class and have a full-size 7/4 sleeper bed with extra width, and a individual play skaven with multiple windows.

    I've made this trip, as well as the Heathrow-Sydney trip twice. Both in economy. The second time was a repatriation flight due to COVID - definitely not normal service or operations.
    Now I am 6 foot 4.
    That 32" pitch was my absolute enemy. On the second of the flights, the cabin crew were kind enough to move me to a vacant exit row seat. But it still wasn't comfortable.
    My height and leg-length is the prime reason why I completely avoid all Boeing aircraft, as the airlines seem to want to cram more people into those rather than provide a comfortable service.

    Jeb, I think this is the first time I've watched one of your videos and it was great. Nicely produced, well organized, and full of good information. I subscribed and look forward to watching more videos. We get to travel outside the U.S. (49 days in 2018), so business class reviews (and lunges) are important.

    • @si_vis_amari_ama
      @si_vis_amari_ama 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I would not choose an airline if the windows were darkened out of my control.
      Many times I have opened the blinds a little, just enough to peep out (even in sunlight) without disturbing others.
      Thanks for the advice with this on the 787.

    • @RB747domme
      @RB747domme 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yi Su LEE it's a terrible policy. If Qantas left Perth 4 hours later, they would have about 12 hours of night for people to sleep, and about 4 or 5 hours of daylight coming into land in London.
      Not only that, but psychologically, as well as physiological, it's not good to be locked in a cabin environment with the windows dimmed in the dark with artificial lights on with no way of knowing where you are. It feels claustrophobic, and can increase air sickness. The ability to open a window and just see some lights down below will give you a sense of movement and help you and your brain adjust to being on an aircraft.
      If Qantas did a better job of designing their cabins, they could allow business class and first class passengers to individually undim their windows without disturbing other passengers who wish to sleep. It's a terrible policy.

      Actually , windows are an issue that I find quite annoying , even on the 4 hour flights that I routinely take . The cabin is quiet and dim, all the windows are down and there is ALWAYS one person who has to have the window shade up and the sunshine glaring in at 35,000 feet.
      PLEASE PUT THE SHADE DOWN !!!!

    How do you find the long haul on the 787 compared to the 777 or 350? Does the extra humidity and lower cabin altitude make a difference?

    • @davidshipp7363
      @davidshipp7363 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Jamie Fine I’ve been on the 787, 747, 777, 380, 330, 767 and I’ll be honest I did not notice the difference in the humidity on the 787. The biggest factor I find is how much room there is for air to circulate and the age of the aircraft. The 767, 757 and old generation 747 were often quite dry my theory is just old filtration system on the 747 and 757. With the 767 probably just that there isn’t as much room for air to circulate. If your on A330, A380, 777, 787 you won’t notice the difference they all circulate well so the extra humidity will be unnoticed.

      my only experience on the 787 was a fairly short flight (only 2 hours). I really did notice how quiet it was and how fast it climbed. Considering it was a lightly loaded flight with very little fuel compared to most flights, i would presume that was the reason for how quiet it was.

    In my experience Qatar business is the most enjoyable. I’ve flown to Doha (Qatar) and from there to Chennai. On the way to India I flew the long haul business in the A350 herringbone formation seats, which were most comfortable. The headphones with noise cancellation were amazing. To Doha was around 14 hours. The shorter part of the flight (five hours) on the short haul (?) business class was also enjoyable. The privacy without doors makes you really feel alone. On the way back from Chennai I got to experience the 777 QSuite that had just been released. This was a truly amazing experience. Extremely private, very comfortable, and the noise cancellation on their headphones is really good. In my opinion Qatar has the best business class

Even if there isn't much to see outside the windows, it still gives you a sense of movement and where you are, spotting the lights below, and seeing maybe a tiny bit of horizon, helps a person adjust to the angle of the aircraft and helps with air sickness.
