The seats passengers will use for the 20-hour flight that will become the world’s longest

There's long-haul – then there's flying non-stop from New York and London to Sydney, a 10,000-mile (16,000km), 20-hour journey that Qantas will offer from 2027 and is calling "the final frontier of aviation".

The Australian carrier has dubbed the new service Project Sunrise and ordered modified Airbus A350-1000 aircraft to operate it.
