World's Largest Plane on World's Longest Route

World's longest flight on biggest plane takes off as Qantas launches non-stop 15-HOUR 30-minute journey from Sydney to Dallas

The world's largest aircraft is now flying the longest route with the launch of non-stop Qantas flights between Sydney, Australia and Dallas in the Airbus A380.

The airline this week announced that the expansive planes have taken over the nearly 16-hour route from the Boeing 747, operating six return services per week.

The aircraft switch means that first class is now available for the first time on the route, popular with business travellers

The non-stop service will operate every day except Tuesday. QF7 departs Sydney Kingsford Smith at 13.10, arriving at Dallas/Fort Worth airport at 13.45 local time the same day after a 14 hours 50 minutes flight.

The return service, QF8, will depart DFW at 22.15 and arrive back in Sydney at 06.05 two days later after a flying time of 15 hours 30 minutes. 

Note

The second longest flight routes by distance after Sydney to Dallas is the Johannesburg to Atlanta at 13,582km route operated by Delta Airlines, followed by Emirates' Dubai to Los Angeles route at 13,420km.
