i look at your very good point again and the reason that singapore airlines stuck that service was because they were using the wrong sort of a crocodile using 834508 foreign generic line the economics didn't stack up now started it with the i 35900 again that airplane that kataria why it was the 1st week juice. pioneering in that space that airplane is perfect for the routes far far more economical bring about 40 percent less you makes the route work so but yes to go to the economy equation they do need more room in economy and that's what quantised plans to do with either the ice free $51000.00 or the triple 7 x. which every airplane they decide for this project sunrise this is the sydney to london and new york to sydney route services but i will have more room in economy i'm reading an article here and this is not to rain on quantas as per it at all but it's actually you saying that back in 2005 you flew 22.4 hours nonstop hong kong to london the wrong way fissile what is the wrong way me and also this well it proves it can already be done right. indeed it was using the boeing triple $72

airport take a look here are some of the longest flight say you are already in operation so singapore airlines will go from singapore to new york city nonstop about 18 and a half hours not that far behind really you see a few of the other ones here emirates for example will go between dubai and auckland in about 17 hours and 20 minutes i mean the point here is this better planes better technology are helping airlines to go even farther nonstop better aerodynamics better efficiency mean the key is fuel i mean that's what's limits seeing these planes and. why we heard less than 50 passengers could be on a plane just because of the sheer weight it uses more fuel in fact the earliest that quantas says this new flights could maybe go full capacity would be there 2022 say obviously it's fantastic technology it was but of course people have to be willing to do it oh well i was born in australia i've lived that several years i've done those long haul flights and want to do that for $19.00 oh this is this is like i know you'll from california you've done it as well do we do we want to be stuck in an ai

you other flights that are that are already going now singapore airlines can go from singapore to new york city nonstop you know 1818 and a half hours so really not that far behind couldn't more airways phys all kinda doha in just under 18 hours another quantas fly do my nose one perth to london takes 17 hours and 20 minutes and emirates will go dubai in auckland about the same time the thing is you're miss all about the technologies of planes are getting more and more efficient more aerodynamic but they're still not quite there yet quanta says for this newest flight to really be operational and carry a full load it won't be available to the year 2022 right so maybe in time for my next trip home or not in time for mine that i might go to europe from australia and california were used to this kind of long flight but 19 hours and would you do that when you sit on the flight 1000 hours nonstop i don't know when that one from london to was announced i have to say what in 17 hours and i thought 70 miles and fight you must be joking but now having no time to make that stop i mean i wonder i
