The 20-Hour Flight Is Coming. And It May Have a Gym and Bunks
The goal of a nonstop flight from Sydney to London — half the way around the planet — took a leap forward as the world’s top planemakers convinced Qantas Airways Ltd. they can make the 20-hour route a reality. (fortune.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Will it include an indoor pool, too? (An outdoor pool might get complicated).
We have that now on a LA to Orlando flight. LAX-SFO, SFO-ORD, ORD-DTW, DTW-DUL, DuL-MCO.
what kind of prison ship airliner is needed for this length of flight, at what risk to health and sanity? this calls for a return to seats of yesteryear and seat pitches suitable for real size adults, as well as wide enough aisles suitable for walking in ovals up and down the aircraft during most of a day of flight, breathing who knows what kind of air, eating questionable qualities of food and drink. I can read a book or two if strapped into a seat for 20 hours, i can get drunk, pass out, wake up mostly sober, eat, drink, pass out, and wake up refreshed for a busy day in either London or Sydney. Can't wait for this silliness....
20 hours sitting in an aircraft? No thanks, especially since it will end up packed like a can of sardines.
20 hours is just the flight time. You might be sitting in it a few more hours on the ground.
I agree with others.. that's just 2 long to be at any altitude.. confined.. not us.
