.tomcostellonbc describes being along for the ride on Quantas' record-breaking 19-hour flight this weekend.
Qantas pilots captain Sean Golding, left, and first officer Jeremy Sutherland in the cockpit of a Qantas Boeing 787 Dreamliner plane in New York on Oct. 18, 2019.Six Qantas frequent flyers who agreed to the study are also keeping activity/sleep diaries. As the hours ticked by on the flight, the university team used an iPad to test each passenger’s reaction time.
To do that, the crew insisted we were on Sydney time the moment we stepped on board. Sydney is 15 hours ahead of New York, so it was lunch time. The cabin lights were kept at full brightness for nearly eight hours. No dozing off to sleep on this flight! Finally at 5:30 a.m. New York time on Saturday, the lights went out for a straight eight hours of sleep.
If the nonstop to Sydney is greenlighted, Qantas is considering using either a Boeing 777x or an Airbus A-350-1000. Joyce said the airline would add more premium economy and business class seats, and provide more legroom for passengers traveling in economy. The airline would also remove a large number of economy seats to make room for an in-flight exercise area.
