If an australian airline had 772LR's, where do you wish they flew?

Istanbul...!

Turkish Airlines has a great network to cities that many other (decent) airlines don't reach!

Personally I feel that 12-13 hours is the maximum that I would want to be in an aircraft non-stop.

My comfort level in an aircraft is ~5-8 hours so would prefer a stop for longer flights.

I’d have thought the A380 could do SYD-DFW already, but I’m not sure if it’d have enough reserves, plus is there even a market for that? I could certainly see a flight straight into the middle of the US with connections in either direction being a good way of doing things, though similarly I can imagine others would think it’d be a stupid idea

Personally I'd like a direct flight to DFW or ORD... getting to a major hub first go would be fantastic...

I don't want to give anyone nightmares but can you imagine doing a flight like this in Y?

I'd love for QANTAS to fly MEL/SYD-DXB. Personally I prefer to have the longer flight first, which is the reason I have usually flown EK to Europe over the past 10 odd years.

No.

But I couldn't imagine doing it MEL-SYD either!

No nightmares but do take into consideration that the vast majority of passengers on most flights are in economy and I do not know that many people who would willingly want to sit in economy for that length of flight.

The funny thing is that Emirates have 3 aircraft types already flying that route, A340, A380 and B777.

I think it is pretty well accepted that the absence of commercial flights from Australia to DXB is more out of spite than anything else.
