Longest 747 Route

Qantas finally gets to use the model's ultra-long range with a full load of passengers 13,804 kilometres non-stop from Sydney to Dallas, Texas, the longest 747 route in the world.

In 2002-03, the airline took delivery of six 747-400ERs, a variety built specially for Qantas to operate the 12,748 kilometres from Melbourne to Los Angeles. This high-weight version will be stretched to the limit for the four weekly Dallas services, which start on May 16.
In fact, the return service will stop in Brisbane on its way back because passengers will have to be offloaded to make the extra 441 kilometres to Sydney.(Source Smh.com.au)

Having flown the LA-Singapore service on a SQ Airbus plane which had fantastic levels of service,i would be tempted to try this route if the service reviews are good otherwise this may be quite a pian for Economy class passengers.

London to NYC

Those Aviation buffs who miss the Concorde,may be happy to note that British Airways has a service from London City Airport to New York.The service is run on a Airbus 318 with a seating configuration smaller than the upper deck of a conventional 747.
As the A318 is meant to fly only 2000odd miles it stops at Shannon Airport in Ireland for refuelling which allows passengers to complete US immigration facilities and fly the 3000 odd miles between London and NYC,It has become very popular with the financial district people as the London city airport is in the financial district.
