The world's longest commercial long-haul flight has been announced, a non-stop trek from Sydney to London that can take up to 22 hours.

Australian airline Qantas announced the direct flight route will start from October 2027, billing passengers approximately 20% more for the long-haul journey compared with a traditional layover.

The BBC's Harry Sekulich asks the public what they think, and if they would voluntarily pay more for the ultra long-haul?
