Up in the air: history made by Qantas

QANTAS' first Perth to London flight has taken off, marking the start of the only direct air link between #Australia and #Europe – and the fastest way of traveling between the two continents. 

The history-making QF9, carrying more than 200 passengers and 16 crew, pushed back just before 7pm on Saturday evening and will landed in London at 5am on Sunday. Operated by a Boeing 787-9, the flight reduces total travel time by eliminating stopovers and taking advantage of the most favourable winds on any given day without having to factor in a mid-point in the Middle East or Asia when choosing a flight path.
