I look forward to trying this out. I had great hopes for the QF 787 and found it to be the worst aircraft I've ever travelled on, in terms of space in Cattle Class. It wasn't the legroom which was tolerable -it was the shoulder room which was so limited that you needed to turn sideways in your seat in order to use a knife and fork. That, coupled with the cabin crew's decision to electronically dim the huge windows for almost the entire trans-Pacific crossing means I never want to travel on this type in the future. Hoping the 350 will leave a better impression.
I am actually, looking forward to experiencing direct Qantas flights to Australia from the UK. Because at this point you have to go the indirect route via Bangkok or Singapore.
MEL-NY and I am almost certain MEL->LON have always been planned for project sunrise. When these start they will be the longest flights(approximately 40 minutes longer than from Sydney.
Qantas’ Project Sunrise is set to revolutionize long-haul travel with non-stop flights from Melbourne to several international destinations. The initial routes for Project Sunrise flights from Melbourne are planned to include: Melbourne to London: This route will connect Melbourne directly with London, offering a non-stop service that significantly reduces travel time. Melbourne to New York: Another ambitious route that will link Melbourne and New York without any stopovers. Following the launch of these routes, other potential destinations from Melbourne under Project Sunrise may include: Paris: A direct flight from Melbourne to Paris is being considered, which would offer travelers a convenient connection to another major European city. Frankfurt: Frankfurt is also on the list of potential direct destinations from Melbourne, providing access to Germany’s financial hub and Europe’s largest economy. Miami and Sao Paulo: These cities have been mentioned as possible future destinations for Project Sunrise flights from Melbourne.
Sydney/Melbourne to Sao Paulo will be an interesting one... to my knowledge the first commercial international route to have to fly over part of Antarctica 🙃
@@jonnies Thats really interesting! Thanks for bringing that to our attention. I find it particularly interesting as I have flown over Antarctica (well parts of it) once before and will be again on new years eve this year. Qantas operate a few sight-seeing flights every year in partnership with a private company who handle the bookings and get other aspects of the experience together. The last time I did it was over a decade ago on a 747 however now they do them with the 787. I would rather the 747 lol I miss them!
I'm interested to know what the operating costs of a Sydney to London flight will be compared to a flight with a refuelling stopover in Asia or the Middle East.
Meanwhile, at Boeing, greedy executives are gladly accepting their full pay & bonus packages, despite the company stumbling & bumbling, churning out sub-standard products.
@@smithy280663 just sleep it out, read a book, watch some movies lol. Get up to stretch your legs every hour or two. I would way rather this than moping around exhausted at Hong Kong airport for 3 hours waiting for my connecting flight lol.
Near all their business is long haul. 20hrs... Might as well prebook your heart surgeon booking and then an A321xlr shows up. It's still 20 hrs no matter the space. Pity the A380 XLR never appeared
Waiting too long. I want to be able to avoid being forced into a stop halfway to Europe. Why? And the layovers, and opportunities for luggage to go missing are just a pain in the arse. Not to mention the BS prices for even simple meals in airports.
I disagree. The fuel usage and thus carbon footprint per passenger from say SYD to LHR/JFK with a stop at say DBX of LAX respectively would be WAY more than flying direct when you take into account descending, landing, taxiing in then taxiing back out, taking off, ascending and getting back to cruising altitude and airspeed which is the most efficient fuel usage thanks to the thin air.
At the time of the last census (2021) almost 60% of Australians were of a European background and only 17% of an Asian background. We are still a long way from "being taken over".

The new A350-1000 upgrades are exactly what the aviation industry needs. Looking forward to seeing these planes in service!
cant wait
Did you ever stay more than 16 hours in economy class in a plane? If yes, you should know that the less it happens the better it is
Every regulator doing certification is taking no chances now.
With these enhancements, Qantas is poised to lead the way in ultra-long-haul travel. Great job on the A350-1000!
yep thanks for your comment
The price for a ticket on sunrise is going to be the deal breaker! Less seats suggest that the price in economy is not going to be cheap!!
The flight is definitely NOT designed for tourists, the flights are designed mainly for business travellers.
There should not be any economy on sunrise flights.
These A350-1000 upgrades show Qantas’ dedication to innovation and passenger comfort. Well done!
They always do their best with customers, love them
The certification of the third fuel tank means we are one step closer to ultra-long-haul flights. Way to go, Qantas!
Do you want to fly like that? I do
Sydney to London non-stop sounds like a dream! Qantas is setting new standards with these upgrades.
Sounds great, right?
20-hour non-stop flights? That’s incredible! Kudos to Qantas for pushing the boundaries of aviation.
Do you want to fly like that?
The advancements in fuel efficiency and range on the A350-1000 are remarkable. Excited for the future of air travel!
Good signal for Qantas, so happy
The A350's new upgrades are impressive. Qantas is really stepping up the game with Project Sunrise.
Sounds great, right?
Qantas' Project Sunrise is going to be a game-changer for long-haul travel! Excited to see the A350-1000 in action.
same here i love Qantas's A350
The new A350-1000 upgrades are setting Qantas apart from the competition. Exciting developments in aviation!
They will be leaders in this field
Non-stop flights from Sydney to New York are going to be a game-changer. Qantas is leading the charge!
I'm very curious what that flight will be like

Looking fwd to flying this option. Will need to fly to Sydney first. Wish Melbourne to London was an option. Sounds so exciting. 👏🇦🇺
same here, I also want to experience it ✈️✈️✈️

Qantas is making history with these ultra-long-haul routes. The A350-1000 is a perfect fit for Project Sunrise!
cant wait to see, huh?
The addition of the extra fuel tank for the A350-1000 is a smart move. Can't wait for those non-stop Sydney to New York flights!"
The Sunrise project is worth looking forward to, it will be something really big
Will Try Out Qantas A350-1000.Great Video And Info
Great that it’s help
The extra fuel tank is a smart move to ensure the reliability of these ultra-long-haul flights
thanks for your comment ✈️✈️✈️
The certification of the third fuel tank is a big win for Qantas. Looking forward to seeing these planes take off!"
Would you like to go on a trip?
Great sharing!
thanks for your comment
Great news for the safest airline in the world … go Airbus family
The new king of airplane
Think Qantas lost the title of safest airline to Air New Zealand 2024
@@miker3298 ahhhh no you are so wrong … Qantas has had no fatalities and no hull loss … Air New Zealand crashed a DC10 into Antartica killing 257 peps

The future of air travel looks bright with Qantas’ A350-1000 upgrades. Exciting times ahead!
What a joy for them
The certification process must have been rigorous, but it's worth it for these groundbreaking flights.
yep that's big step
I'm interested to know what the operating costs of a Sydney to London flight will be compared to a flight with a refuelling stopover in Asia or the Middle East.
Let's discuss it in the coming episodes
“New standards in air travel” it is a shame that it doesn’t extend to customers or staff
Are you looking forward to this project?
Qantas’ investment in the A350-1000 shows their commitment to providing top-notch travel experiences.
Qantas, they always do well
Maybe QANTAS Says "NO" to BOEING 777X for project sunrise and choose AIRBUS A350-1000 ulr for the perfectly fit.
Certification took longer than expected = a certification agency who do it's job unlike the FAA who does delegate everything to the manfacturer.
nice thanks for sharing
nobody was shocked, the upgrade is available to any carrier that wants it!
Thanks for your comment
Qantas should have Starlink to provide on flight wifi
yeah nice idea!
Hopefully Qantas will go for the intermediate seating options rather than the cheapest, nastiest options available they always go for 😁👍
For 20 hrs... You need a decent seat
I think they can upgrade if they're doing so like a twin engine a380
nice idea
Meanwhile, at Boeing, greedy executives are gladly accepting their full pay & bonus packages,
despite the company stumbling & bumbling, churning out sub-standard products.
yep Boeing needs to change
a non stop 20 hour flight? No thanks.
Trust me, most Sydney to NY/London travellers will prefer it over a 5h layover in between.
@@jonnies no chance....I'm a fairly regular Sydney - London traveller ....a 20 hr flight? No way.
@@smithy280663 just sleep it out, read a book, watch some movies lol. Get up to stretch your legs every hour or two.
I would way rather this than moping around exhausted at Hong Kong airport for 3 hours waiting for my connecting flight lol.
Also, as mentioned in the vid, this aircraft variant will have fewer than 250 seats - meaning that it will be more spacious for all passengers.
There should be a massage service on board.
When does Qantas get its first A350-10 ?
you mean A350-1000? maybe 2026
It was mentioned - 2026.
Near all their business is long haul. 20hrs... Might as well prebook your heart surgeon booking and then an A321xlr shows up. It's still 20 hrs no matter the space. Pity the A380 XLR never appeared
Qantas also generates very high emissions due to its long haul routes.

Flying non-stop from Sydney to New York on the upgraded A350 will be an amazing experience.
yeah many people are looking forward to it
i flew on the qantas 747 before it retired, and i miss it so so much. i’m not excited for the future tbh
thanks for sharing your thoughts
Sonking as there are more redundant systems and pitot tubes!!!....more computers more systems to agree or not with each other
The extra fuel tank on the A350-1000 is a brilliant innovation. Qantas is ahead of the curve!
yep happy for them
20h non stop travel! Will be challenging for passengers and crews.
Not sur customers will like it. Will see.
thanks for your feedback, but it's worth a try in my opinion
Fine if we’re in Business. I’ll save up. Great experience. 👋🏻🇦🇺
All is shit; closed many many hours in a long tube sitting over fuel tanks is crazy
U still ride on horses huh?
@@Bryan-nx8zt It's also an experience worth trying, right?
Makes a girl think....
These flights will have to be done with Sustainable Aviation Fuel to avoid an enormously excessive carbon footprint per passenger.
yep that's right
I disagree. The fuel usage and thus carbon footprint per passenger from say SYD to LHR/JFK with a stop at say DBX of LAX respectively would be WAY more than flying direct when you take into account descending, landing, taxiing in then taxiing back out, taking off, ascending and getting back to cruising altitude and airspeed which is the most efficient fuel usage thanks to the thin air.
20 hours in a plane is still amazing
Even though there are quite a few people who are afraid of it, I'm extremely excited about this project, and so are you, right?

Qantas would be more profitable to concentrate on India and Chinese markets. Most Aussies are not Anglo anymore. We have been taken over.
yes maybe ✈️
At the time of the last census (2021) almost 60% of Australians were of a European background and only 17% of an Asian background. We are still a long way from "being taken over".
What an ingnorant remark. You must be a PHONy voter.
Calm your farm mate, the US and UK are still important destinations
