You can save hundreds of lives.

The atmosphere on board the inaugural non-stop flight from London to Sydney is electric. Numerous celebrities are rumoured to be among the passengers in business class and journalists will be waiting on the ground to greet the plane.

It’s twenty hours to landing.
A lot can happen in twenty hours…
