3 Links I Love: The Qantas, Singapore, and Air New Zealand Long-Haul Edition
This week’s featured link:
Qantas flights direct from London to Perth – we reveal the hell of flying non-stop 17 hours from Australia in economy on the UK’s longest route – The Sun
We have a theme this week, and it’s all about really long flights. Forget the stupid click-bait headline on this one. This is still a worthy read despite its tabloid-y style. The idea of flying 17 hours crammed into a coach seat where the sun never rises sounds just downright awful. If you live in Eastern Australia you have to stop somewhere, and I don’t know why you’d do this over a Middle East or Southeast Asia stop. Even if you do live in Perth, that stop may not be such a bad idea.
Two for the road:
