Qantas QF7879 flight takes 7:16 p.m. to fly directly from New York to Sydney on the first of three "super-long" routes planned by Qantas this year.
The national airline is operating test flights when considering deploying regular services to long-haul routes from the UK, the US to Australia. Among these super-long flight routes is the route from London to Sydney.
According to AFP, only 49 people on the Boeing 787-9 on the flight from New York to Sydney reduced the weight of the plane and provided the plane with enough fuel to travel 16,000km without having to recharge.
There were 4 pilots on the plane to take turns on flight duties. They also wear electronic devices to monitor brain waves and their alertness.
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce called this a "historic moment" for both the airline and the world airline when the plane landed in Australia.
Qantas is collaborating with two universities in Australia to monitor how jetlag affects the health of passengers and crew members when passing through multiple bags of time.
After boarding, passengers book their Sydney time zone, keeping them alert with light, exercise, caffeine and a meal with spicy until evening in eastern Australia.
Six hours later, they were served a carbohydrate-rich meal. They are also advised not to monitor electronic devices, the lighting system is reduced to encourage passengers to sleep.
Professor Marie Carroll - a researcher at the University of Sydney hopes that this improvement method will lead to a "completely minimalist" jetlag.
Last year, Qantas launched its first direct flight from Perth, Australia to London with a 17-hour journey.
