Qantas Boeing 747

Feature

Qantas Airways and Boeing’s plan for a non-stop route from London to Sydney may come to fruition in the near future.

The flagship Australian airline and the aircraft manufacturer teamed up to develop a plane that has the capability to complete a non-stop journey from the United Kingdom to one of Australia’s largest cities, approximately a 10,600-mile journey.

As plans evolve, Qantas has worked with its pilots to help them prepare for such long flights, and testing out some of its long-distance aircraft on its routes between London and Perth (on Australia’s west coast), with hopes to also test the aircraft between Brisbane and Chicago.

If and when it debuts, it will be the longest flight in the world, connecting the north and west of Europe with the east coast of Australia. The world’s current longest flight belongs to Singapore Airlines’ route from Newark (EWR) to Singapore (SIN), approximately 1,000 miles shorter than the proposed London and Sydney route.

Review: Kimpton Hotel Palomar

ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: Philadelphia was filling up with travelers, so I booked Kimpton Hotel Palomar due to its location in the heart of Center City — just off Samson Street, full of great restaurants, and a few blocks from The Union League (where I was attending an event) and City Hall. I parked around the corner; there are many options, and the hotel is also close to public transportation. I admired the lobby renovations that took place not too long ago, making this a hidden gem with a real Philadelphia feel. The doorman greeted me and held my bags, as I arrived in the morning for meetings before check- in. When I returned in the afternoon, check-in was swift with a friendly front desk team offering water and help with questions.
