  • What's it like flying on the world's longest flights within 24 hours of each other, in economy/coach class? I took up this challenge and flew from the UK to New Zealand and back in three days! Starting with Qantas inaugural nonstop flight from London to Perth, then coming back on Qatar Airways flight QR921 from Auckland to Doha on the world's longest flight. How hard can it be?

      Used to be the same.I couldn'T even sleep when I had 4 seats to myself and could lie flat.
      I managed to change it:
      - fly qatar, they have the best economy seats, cozy material and most importantly: an adjustable head rest that keeps your head from falling
      - take emesan 70mg before the flight
      - take a shower in the airport before the flight and get into freshly washed jogging pants and a nice hoody.
      I slept for 8 hours in economy like this from japan to qatar. pretty much the whole flight which NEVER happened before.

    I've flown from Brisbane to Birmingham U.K every couple of years, for the past 50 yrs, to visit family and it has improved so much from the 70's. However it gets harder to take the older I get and I think my last trip will be on my 70th birthday in 2023 if we are allowed to fly by then.

      When you're in your 70s and retired, you may wish to break this trip up into 3 or 4 shorter segments with mini holidays in between. Spend a few days in the Middle East, India or South East Asia so you're only doing 1 6-8 hour flight every few days instead of 24 hours in one hit!

    As someone who is admittedly terrified of flying, I have to say I’ve been really pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy your videos, your enthusiasm for flying, and travel in general. It’s even made me feel almost brave enough to think about setting foot on a plane again, after not doing so for over 6 years.
    One minor niggle is the (presumably royalty-free) background music you have in the some of the clips - it’s a bit over-used, and at such a volume that it drowns out what you are saying to the camera at some points.
    I know this is an early video in your series, so maybe you have different approach to the editing these days. Anyway, keep up the good work!

It was long but the other school we went with took a flight from Winnipeg>Regina Saskatchewan >Toronto>Frankfurt>Malaga. It was long but i watched the moon the whole time- that was cool with the colours. Coming home we got stuck in Toronto for 5hrs as the flight we were to take the pilots had too many flying hours, so we had to wait for a flight from Edmonton Alberta to come. We got home at 4 am and the teachers we were with were expected to be at school that morning

It was so noisy we had ear defenders! The leg room was amazing though i had a palate of sacks of grit in front of me so it made a great leg rest. Total flight time was something like 8 hours to ascension and a further 8 or 9 to The Falklands! On board meals consisted of cheese and chives spread on a roll, an apple and a carton of juice.....repeat 3x on each leg! LOL. God Bless the Royal Air Force.

      @@radoaron8324 some parents do their best, never call a parent “bad” unless your 100% sure, it can really hurt someone’s feelings. I see that my mum tries to do everything for my new baby sister, she’s raised me, my sister, and I’m hoping this new sister very well, if your gonna go ahead and say that, maybe your parents are bad and your just being a bit immature. you were probably I crying baby once.

    This is so cool! I went Australia last August and I flew Qantas on the way from Melbourne to Sydney, and I loved it! I still have my Qantas headphones from the flight and I use them everyday now! So yea, I got excited when I saw you on Qantas because I had a great experience on Qantas!

    Wow, what an incredible trip!! I'm a bit of an airport nut so seeing the various terminals was fascinating. I'd be interested in seeing more of the inflight service and meals. I'm curious how you finance these excursions? Thanks for putting these together!!
