  • Qantas just completed a record-breaking 19-hour, 16-minute nonstop flight from New York to Sydney. It’s one of three research flights to determine if the routes can be made commercial and--researchers hope--teach us how to avoid the dreaded jet lag.

      It may be useful for business travelers, maybe specially useful. Assuming this is not an ad for Qantas or anything, and realizing I don’t know how the other passengers felt, the reporter said he felt pretty good after a long flight. If they can ultimately find useful information from these tests, they can definitely apply whatever findings they do on how to deal with such extreme jet lags to business travelers who have a tight schedule or a meeting right after landing for some reason. Also Qantas is testing on 6 frequent fliers, and these don’t tend to be your average Joe.

      J R plenty of economy passengers fly up to 17.5 hours at the moment. And most think it’s much better than a layover. The extra 2 hours flight time isn’t going to reduce the amount of economy passengers to zero. They’ve done lots of market research on this and have said that there is market demand for economy travel, as well as premium, business and first.
      You’re likely not in the target market for this sort of flight. That’s fine. There are other options for you. But as long as the plane is 90% full every day with people who actually prefer this, Qantas won’t go chasing your business

    I have completely eliminated the 'jet lag' problem at least for myself. I have been flying internationally since 1980 These days I regularly fly between Asia, USA and the UK. I am not sure that the exhaustion is due to time differencies.
    Try sitting up at home in an uncomfortable chair unable to move your legs and often told you cannot get out of your seat, for 10 hours. You might experience the same 'jet lag' symptoms after that, in fact it would be almost torture to try it.
    I found that a lot of the problem was due to lack of sleep. A USA to Asia trip can mean being up or on the plane over 30 hours. Try going without proper sleep for 24 hours or more, even a moderate 5 hour flight means being awake and busy before and after the flight, and getting tired even without the flight
    A luxury solution I have these days is to be able to take an afternoon nap. This puts me into two 12 hour cycles instead of one 24 hour cycle. When I get to the US which is about 12 hour out from Asia, I just extend the nap to become the night sleep and reduce the what was the night sleep to a nap.
    Another luxury solution is I refuse now to fly economy any longer than a couple of hours. The lay flat business class seats are lovely. I enjoy the pampering by the service to but it isn't why I fly business its being able to sleep properly.
    That is how I can arrive after a flight and not feel any problems at all.

      Usually this kind of extra long-haul flights are Business and first-class only. They are more expensive than regular flights (carring all the fuel in one go mostly), what gets paid whitout much problem by bussines travellers, since their time its expensive to companies, but regular turists normally are more sensitive to cost than time.

      If they end up doing this, it will probably be similar to Singapore's nonstop to/from Newark, where there's only business and premium economy. It will lead to a lighter load making the flight possible, but also because it'll mainly be business travelers who will spend the extra money to save the time. Us leisure passengers would rather book cheaper flights with a layover in California or Dubai.

      ​@@pilotjonas8 I know that, but that's "only" the 3rd longest flight. Singapore to Newark is the longest flight at the moment and adopted the all premium configuration for that reason. JFK-SYD would be 900 miles more than the Perth route, and Sydney to London would be 1,500 miles more than the Perth route as well. At that point, extra weight needs to be lost in order to make the flight viable.

    In my career in the Military I have flown to the Far East, and Europe many times and to the Middle East once. Jet Lag? We had no time for jet lag; once we deplaned and transported to our assembly area we got down to the business we came for.
    As for our transportation for our trip, if it was Military we Sardine packed. If it was commercial charter the seating was no leg room for anyone over 5 foot 10 inch. Sleep in flight was the recommended way to pass the time because we would be up and on duty for up to thirty hours after arrival. The longest flight was 23 hours from the West coast USA to Vietnam with two refueling stops and no deplaning, no walking about on board.
    Ah! To have the luxury of jet lag.

    I spent 17 of my 41 years in that industry flying long-haul flights, and I find it interesting that they didn't talk about the radiation health concerns of flying that long at those flight levels. It's a fact that in some countries long-haul flight crews are considered "radiation" workers, must wear exposure badges and can be limited to how many of those flights they can take. The increase in radiation exposure as you increase altitude is not linear. The difference in exposure between a flight a 31,000 feet as compared to 41,000 feet is very significant! Also, it's a bit comical having only 50 people on that "test" flight - plenty of room to move around. How easy do you think it's going to be getting 300 passengers to stand up and do the Macarena?
