Qantas have been beaten by an awesome airline... Air Tahiti Nui, one that punches way above its weight. See here:-
Ironic, as it's technically a domestic flight too from French Polynesia- Faaa Airport (Papeete) to Paris. I believe that they were looking to stop in YVR when LAX was withdrawn as an option... Looks like due to the corona virus controls, implemented by Canada and the USA, they are now flying with no intermediate stop.
World's longest flight: Air Tahiti Nui breaks record due to US travel restrictions
There may be plenty of news about flights at the moment, but one small Pacific airline has quietly gone and broken a host of world records.
