For Anyone Flying From Perth to London,

as from next year you will no longer have to stop on the way,


 Qantas have announced that tickets will go on sale in April of 2017 for expected flights in March of 2018, for the 8,989 mile trip, meaning you will be in the air for 17.5 hours, Boeing 787 Dreamliners will be used for the hop across the world, no price has been announced yet, 17.5 hours in the air, still I guess you could catch up with a few films or a good book or two, but at least it is a bit quicker than in the 1930s, back then in 1938 a trip from London to Brisbane, Australia (the longest on offer at the time) took 11 days and had over two dozen scheduled stops, and now we can travel the journey with none.
