QF8 DFW-BNE, at 16hours, has to be one of the longest non-stop legs Qantas has ever operated (apart from the Catalina which is the only other longer service I can think of).

Probably longest in time , however, SYD-DFW is over 7450NM and is of a greater distance . I wonder if SYD-DFW will be the longest distance non stop scheduled B747-400 flight globally , and will it be payload restricted ??.. Dave C

Dave, yes it is the longest 747 by distance operation globally. Refer to the article.

Its a pity they drop SFO altogether it is a great tourist destination. Will they not have enough spare 747s to do both DFW and SFO, so it had to be either or situation and the best returns were seen at DFW not SFO. Will have to wait till Jetstar gets the 787s then.

Having the 777 would have been ideal to serve both destinations.
