A 16-hour flight can be daunting, but it’s amazing how time flies, literally, in business class.
Scheduled flight time is 16 hours and 30 minutes , with the service actually completed in under 16 hours.In the era of ultra-long haul flying there appear to be two types of airline passengers.

Despite all of the requisite business class diversions, the best way to approach such an extended flight is to sleep through as much of it as possible, setting your watch and devices on boarding to Perth time. Fortunately Qantas’s workhorse business class flatbed seat still assists perfectly – with a 46-inch pitch, the seat comes with a slip-over mattress .
Slumber is also aided by Qantas’ beloved Martin Grant-designed pyjamas , which on this flight come in the form of commemorative French navy and red versions commemorating the new route. Get into ’em while stocks last.Sure, there are those passengers who are more than content to be removed from the outside world for nearly a day, but then there are others who value onboard Wi-Fi.
