Check this out, a real once in a life time flight.

Piccies and videos in the Instagram post, slide 6 is pretty darn cool.
Flightradar24 data still has them just under 35,000 feet along Antarctica, so it looks like they were super lucky and had clear skies.

That is freaking cool... tho I really dont know how I would go sitting on a flight for 17.5 hours..

Fark we live on a big planet!!!

Yeah that flight would have been amazing. QF63 to Joberg has a similar path and occasionally spots icebergs and land as it skirts Antarctica. I've done that flight several times but never quite spotted ice.

That would have been tough. Trying to get enough momentum on the downward bit to get up the upward bit.

Wow, I didn't now they were doing this. Not a lot of options if there's a problem

My uncle's done the Perth-London flight. He said it's not particularly pleasant and basically a case of gritting your teeth and enduring it. He's done it twice though so it can't be that bad

It's better than 6hrs at Changi Airport
