ZNI as QF7879 is airborne from runway 31L at JFK for SYD at 21:27 NY time or 12:27 Sydney time. The pilots predicted a 19 hour and 5 minute flight.
Kennedy Ground wished the crew a good flight and hoped that they had plenty of pilots and lots of coffee on board. Love the ATC humour. Last edited by James Smith; 19th October 2019 at 11:40 AM. |

This is where Qantas hopes that there are no big news stories to knock this story off the top of tomorrows news.
Landing on a Sunday morning (slow news day). Good speed to all involved. |

And hopefully no fog in Sydney on arrival, although the weather looks okay! Does anyone know if there are any journalists on board the flight?
