re: Airbus A350 completes historic flight from Melbourne to Toulouse

Paging 777Tiger....
Why would the flight take route to the east over the US instead of across Asia?
I looked at Google Maps and it shows the distance going east from Melbourne is 10,507 miles direct...and Flight Aware shows the same distance going west. But the east flight was 14,427 miles, actual.
Is Melbourne to Toulouse the same flight distance either way?

Would people rather this or a 16 hr flight followed by a 2 hr layover, followed by an 8 hour flight?
Time to bring back the Concorde for Supersonic travel over the oceans or reach suborbital height to cruise around the world in an hour.
Maybe they can have a coupon day for the cheapskates like me.

And the House of Reps just approved the Supersonic aviation modernization act allowing supersonic flights over the US again. The Senate advanced it last week.

That’s kinda the point of an endurance flight.
Then why the comment that air lines would start offering these flights?

I believe Qantas is going to offer similar length flights starting in 2027
Who would intentionally take a 24hr flight when they could do it in 14-16hrs?
I guess my comment revolves around.. Are there any actual flights\destinations that would ever take 24hrs of constant flight to get to if they took the actual best path to get there?

This is the type of flight that you realize 2 hours in what a turrible idea it was to start a game of peekaboo with the twin 2-year-olds in the seats in front of you.
How long until they make these planes all rows of bunks?
