I did that Qantas flight from Melbourne to UK via Perth, return in 2019. But I upgraded to premium economy. Being 6 foot tall, I was so happy I did. Seats were wider and heaps of leg room…. And meals were from business class. Like you Rob, I can’t sleep on planes. As long as you go to bed at a normal time, you’ll be fine.

I can't say that I don't miss this, because I actually do! I do feel your pain about how long it is, but I was way too excited when I got there. My flight went from Omaha - Denver - Los Angeles - Auckland[1] - Melbourne. I was tired, but wide awake and excited when I got there, because I got in in the morning in Melbourne, which would have been mid-afternoon the previous day in Omaha, but it was such a rite of passage, as it was my first trip ever on my own, and first international trip. there's so much to do there, and so much that I miss, so I am definitely envious of you being there, so enjoy that well deserved trip! [1] I accidentally missed the hall to the in transit area, and went through the door to customs, thereby entering New Zealand, when I didn't have a visa for New Zealand at that time. Thankfully airport security took pity on me and let me back through, as it was only a refuel and defumigation stop!

Yaaaay!! Welcome to Oz!! I hope you have an epic time here!!

Thanks for making this video. I was toying with doing a long haul flight but you’ve confirmed my thoughts about them. I always stop over for a couple of days in Bangkok or Singapore or Saigon or Tokyo. I’ll ignore the marketing hype and continue doing that.

I'll be sticking around Charlie and Robbo. Have a enjoyable day.

I remember doing a 28 hour Syd - UK flight, when there were no entertainment screens at all, and the smoking section started in the row right behind me. Have a great time! xo ps - did you see the news, someone was just killed by a kangaroo - be careful (and of course put vegemite behind your ears to keep the drop bears away! )

hi Rob & Charlie, welcome to Oz! I really enjoyed this vlog, now you know what Aussies go through when we fly to the UK (or US)! 3 hours waiting at Heathrow? Time to explore every square inch of the airport that I possibly can. ✈✈ Onto the plane. Little leg room, barely enough room to move your feet around. Cannot sleep on planes either. Oh the hot meals on the plane... what a reputation. Dinner at 4pm, breakfast at 2am. Some foods are not meant for planes. To some extent it is a function of the food quality at the origin airport. The little things like the headphones and the entertainment system if they come across a little cheap or not up to scratch. To top it off, delays. Not surprised that you were delayed with Qantas. When I have flown to the UK usually have flown with Singapore Airlines or Emirates. Yes you stop one or twice but I appreciate stretching my legs around the terminal. I have even slept at the airport transit hotel so I can shower and rest. It also feels nice to be part of Asia even if is just temporary. On your way home you will follow the day around or the night around the world. Coming to Australia it is flying into the day, into the night, into the day again. Hope you both enjoy your holiday down under. Enjoy the footy!!

Rob flying long haul is exactly like me flying long haul... the lack of sleep and the cramped nature means that every hour feels like five, and all you want to do is arrive and get to that hotel! 😆 Ah... the romance of travel.

In-flight food really so bad, or is our perception of it just a little off? As it turns out, there’s a scientific reason why food is less savoury at 30,000 feet. Once at altitude, the combination of the dry air and pressure change reduces our taste bud sensitivity. In fact, our perception of saltiness and sweetness drops by around 30 percent at high altitude.
