14-day flight echoes 1947 Qantas Kangaroo Route across nine stops

A chartered Qantas flight carried 131 passengers from Sydney to London over 14 days and nine stops. The route was inspired by Qantas's 1947 Kangaroo Route, though it differs from the original because some early stops are no longer accessible.

Why it mattersFor aviation enthusiasts, it offers a rare chance to experience how air travel worked in an earlier era. The slower journey lets passengers spend time at each stop and savour travel as an experience rather than something to endure.

AustraliaAustralian travellers can now book a luxury heritage journey recreating a historic Qantas route instead of the gruelling multi-stop trips of the 1940s.
