The Qantas “Project Sunrise” flight was the first-ever by a passenger airline to fly nonstop between New York and Sydney.

A 10,000-mile journey, lasting 19 hours and 16 minutes.

Was it the living hell that it sounds like?  Or was it an experience to savour.

Ben Mutzabaugh, Senior Aviation Editor at ‘The Point Guy’, was on the flight, and he is currently in Sydney.  He reckons it wasn't as bad as you might expect.
