LONDON — Qantas Airways has made a giant leap forward in long-haul travel with an inaugural nonstop flight between Australia to Britain in less than 24 hours.

Flight QF9 took off from Perth, in Western Australia, on March 24 and landed in London early the next day. Qantas’s chief executive, Alan Joyce, billed the trip as “historic” and “a game changer.”

Here’s everything you need to know about the trip:

By the Numbers

The flight carried more than 200 passengers and 16 crew members.

It took off around 7 p.m. Saturday and landed at 5.02 a.m. Sunday.

The trip lasted just over 17 hours and covered about 9,009 miles.

Of the more than 21,000 individual items loaded onto the aircraft for each flight between Perth and London, there are 330 peppermint tea bags and hundreds of chocolate biscuits.

In 1947, Qantas says, a return flight from Sydney to London cost 525 pounds. Today, a return fare from Perth to London can cost about £900 in economy, it says.

The flight was operated by four pilots during the journey, with one or two pilots resting at any one time.
