    Well, besides tha Boeing 747-400 the other plane that is able to fly that long distance could be the Boeing-787 Dreamliner. And is very reliable too. Which one you preffer ?

      Qantas now flies 787 Dreamliners to both Johannesburg and South America as well as their super-long flights, some of which hold world records. I have not been on a 787 yet although I've flown on all other Boeing aircraft except the 757, plus most Airbus including the A350.

      @@Earthislife1031 All good :) The Sydney to JHB come to within 15Km from the ice shelf, which I saw once when the weather was clear down there. 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...

      @@nicnieuwoudt bullshit. There is no nonstop flight from Sydney to Buenos Aires, even a flight from New Zealand DOES NOT fly directly to South America although it’s relatively close on a globe map. Nope, it stops in the US or Chile which are quiet more far on a globe map. Also there is no flight over Antarctica what are you talking about? Even this qantas flight does not reach the Antarctic continent, only the French southern Antarctic islands

    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. Show someone's boarding pass of taking that flight...it won't happen because, it can't happen.

      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.

    Wow even a regular person taking a footage of their own trip is claimed faked by the flat earthers.. this is what feel like to defend global earth to flat earthers. Everything in reality is projected as fake , cgi etc. this flight will take 2-3x longer on flat earth map and unless 787 Dreamliner can fly at Mach2.0 it’s no chance our earth is flat 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂😂
