World's Longest Flight to Be Even Less Comfortable Than Expected
- Qantas ditches idea of including bunks, beds, creche and gym
- Sydney-London non-stop to be more spartan, if it takes off
Flights half way around the globe are set to be even less comfortable than expected -- that’s if the marathon 20-hour non-stop services from Sydney to London get off the ground at all.
Qantas Airways Ltd. has ditched the notion of rolling out bunks, beds, a gym or even a creche for passengers enduring the world’s longest commercial flight. Instead, they’ll be given a space to have a stretch and a drink of water, Qantas Chief Executive Officer Alan Joyce said Monday in Seoul.
