The flight could be considered a precursor to the main goal of having a non-stop flight between Sydney and London, which would be four hours longer flight.
Qantas CEO said that "Qantas has been preparing for this moment for 98 year... (since) we were founded in 1921." And it once took seven stops and four days to fly from Australia to UK. For anyone who wanted to travel to Australia before the flights between the two countries started, it took 42 days on boat.
