Join Aussie Jetsetter for his longest flight review to date and first ever trip report bound for the United States as he got to cover what it is like to fly on one Qantas’ ultra long haul configured Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft on a recent flight between Sydney and Honolulu in Hawaai!
With a flight time coming in at just 9 hours and 40 minutes, Qantas’ daily Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner service is currently the quickest commercial flight between Australia and the United States coming in at some 3-5 hours quicker than typical flights to the mainland US and is actually one of the shortest flights operated on the Qantas Boeing 787-9 network. With these aircraft servicing the longest flights in the Qantas network which include many of the world’s Top 10 longest flights including Perth to London (or Paris and a notable mention Rome) and New York to Sydney and Dallas to Melbourne this flight provides the perfect opportunity to sample the Qantas ultra long haul flying experience on what is a far more leisurely medium length international flight!
In this comprehensive review I get to sample the full Qantas international economy class service offering on one of its most recently introduced product types showcasing what you can expect on board in terms of seating, food, entertainment and service, meanwhile also covering what you need to know about flying to the United States in 2025 and what all the formalities are like.
As an added bonus i also get to check out the House Lounge which formally occupied the space of the old Etihad Lounge at Sydney Airport and offer my thoughts on whether it is worth visiting through Priority Pass!
