Priority is SYD-LHR/JFK followed by MEL to both cities. Haven’t heard anything about BNE.

When project sunrise was announced they said flights from the three major east coast cities and also said there would be flights from Brisbane.

Looks like the flight is taking off today, at 2100 (US Time), from New York - Sydney and due to land in Sydney on Monday at 0710, (AEDT Time). Very exciting for Qantas

I get the whole progress thing but honestly, you’d be mad to sit in econmey for this long, hopefully premium and business only

ATTENTION!!!


The flight has appeared on FR24 as QF7879 with registration VH-ZNI

Due to depart at 2019-10-19T01:00:00Z and arrive at 2019-10-19T20:10:00Z

QF7879 is set for takeoff to fly the 10,200 mile flight from New York to Sydney 🎉

Offical media release;

Gonna be a very interesting and unique flight to say the least!

UPDATE!!!

VH-ZNI has landed in New York and is expected to depart for Sydney in roughly 3 hours!
(at time of writing)

Where is it I don’t see it on FR24


The one that shows it is the replay of project sunrise but now way it masked it all the way to Sydney already it departed like 12 hours ago

Your looking at two completely different flights.

How did I miss that thanks guess my filter didn’t work properly

I think that’s later

It’s because I was using a Qantas filter and i think it didn’t recognize it as Qantas

It’s actually underneath the Airbus A380 that’s en route to Sydney when I last checked with the filter,

This will be the longest flight right and for sure when it flys to London

Looks like Laura and @DeerCrusher are in on it as well with some others replicating the flight. I’m sure you all know I wish I was with you all right now.
