Qantas has promised to start direct flights from Sydney to London by late 2025 in a multi-billion dollar bet that fliers will pay a premium to save four hours on the popular route.
The long haul Sydney-London flight will take roughly 20 hours, making it one of the longest in the world.
Qantas already provides a direct 17-hour flight between London and Perth and the firm has now ordered 12 new airbuses capable of flying non-stop to the UK and the US.
