Thank you for a very nice and clear video. I have done this flight very many times and love the 747, never any problems. Flying Economy (Coach) is a bit cramped but you can do things to adapt; noise-cancelling headphones are really handy on such a trip. The Brisbane to Los Angeles leg is about 12 hours, the return is about 13 hours depending on winds and weather. People worry about such a long flight over ocean but if you look on the map you pass New Caledonia, Fiji and Samoa so the longest empty stretch is from roughly Samoa to south of Hawaii. Having 4 engines should always give you confidence. Very sad to see the Qantas 747's have been retired, the 787's are nice but may not have quite the charm of the Boeing 747.

Hey Kenny I fully agree with you about her. I don't think there are too many people who don't hold a spot in their hearts for this beautiful old girl. She has literally flown millions of us probably billions of miles safely and comfortably. At least for me, she is part of every awesome adventure or trip I have ever taken, good times and sad. The old Queen makes me sentimental every time.

I always sleep well on planes but never so soundly as on a 747. Not sure why -- maybe the sound of those four big engines? I flew first class several times on the 200 in the mid-1990s -- that was a treat -- including once when I was the only passenger upstairs. Only 12 (I think) seats in that model, but still, I felt like I had my own private jet.

One thing I'll say about Qantas: it's one of the few major airlines which has never had a major crash and never actually killed a passenger (to the best of this yank's knowledge, correct me if I'm wrong). I'd say that's a record they should be proud of and advertise all the time. Anyway, I'm guessing this about a 13 hour flight?
