Just read on the BBC News that Qantas will be flying non-stop flights from London to Perth in Western Australia which will take about 17 hrs. They will be using Boeing 787 -9 Dreamliners. Apparently it will be the longest non-stop flights in the world.

Shifts. There's always 2.5crew on super long hauls. Especially a380s
One would have thought this wasn't the longest haul when Dubai akl is between 18and 19.
Perhaps longest 787 legPosts not to be taken as official support representation - Just a helpful uploader who tinkers

Nowww it comes out clearer.
"The route once started will be the one of the longest non-stop flights exceeding the current Emirates service between Dubai and Auckland but shorter than Qatar’s Doha – Auckland that should start shortly"
DXB - AKL 14,326km (EK777/380) 17 hours and 15 minutes
Doha - AKL 14,539km (Qatar 777) 18 hours and 34 minutes
LHR - PER 14,498 (QF 787) approx 17hrs +/-
– The 14,498km flight will take approximately 17 hours (slightly more or less depending on winds).
– When it launches, is expected to be the third-longest passenger flight in the world.
– Longest flight on the Qantas network, followed by our non-stop A380 Sydney-Dallas service (13,730km).
– Will be the longest Boeing Dreamliner flight in the world.Posts not to be taken as official support representation - Just a helpful uploader who tinkers

It's interesting that Qantas have FINALLY come back to Perth after abandoning all international flights out of Perth and therefore handing over a huge chunk of their market to the Middle Eastern Airlines.
I can't say 17.5 hours in a Dreamliner squashed down the back is my idea of fun - I like the room of an A380 down the back !
My wife though, thinks it's magic that she can go back to the UK without stopping.
I can't see many people though coming to Perth though and then getting on another internal flight over East to be honest; especially if you can do it direct in comfort from the Middle East etc.
