Speaking at the Aviation Club in London, Joyce gave more details on "Project Sunrise", a four-year plan to launch flights from the east coast of Australia to London. QF9 left Perth on Saturday evening and arrived at Heathrow on Sunday morning, 17 hours later.
The idea was thrown up as the Qantas boss continues to outline plans for direct flights to London from Sydney and Melbourne, and non-stop flights from Australia's east coast to NY by 2022.
Awesome, but ouch! We can feel the aches and sheer exhaustion taking over our bodies already.
Jacob reported that he got a numb bum, and was convinced that he was breathing "more farts than air" on the flight which takes the best part of a whole day. The Sunreporter Jacob Lewis will most likely be waiting for the answer with bated breath.
Cricket Australia has been told by major sponsor Qantas to deal with its cheating scandal as quickly as possible, with the airline's chief executive Alan Joyce saying that the incident had damaged Australia's global reputation as the land of the "fair go".
"It is also about getting an aircraft that not only can do Sydney-London, but at the same time the same aircraft is capable of being redirected to Sydney-Hong Kong or Sydney-Singapore", he said.
And that's not all. Well get ready - you could be seeing it a lot more soon.

Singapore Airlines Unveils New Regional Cabin Products
And we are honoured by Singapore Airlines' partnership and trust, as reflected by their repeated orders for the Dreamliner". The aircraft will also be flown on select services regionally to Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok for crew training purposes.
Joyce said that in the 1970s, Qantas had created business class and could be on the brink of devising another for "super long haul" flights like an east coast direct route to London.
In 2007, Lufthansa envisaged an economy "sleeper" class, consisting of triple-decker bunk beds that converted to seats for take-off and landing.
"Could some of the freight areas we may not use [for baggage] be used as an exercise area?"
At the moment, there's not an airline anywhere that has a passenger plane that can fly those routes when they're fully stocked with people and freight - there's simply not enough fuel.
Joyce went on to say that "nothing is off the table" when it comes to finding a way forward.
Fresh from launching the first-ever direct passenger service to Europe - linking Perth with London's Heathrow hub - Qantas will turn its attention to the USA with the next batch of four 787s due for delivery this year, Chief Executive Office Alan Joyce said in an interview Tuesday.
News.com.au has contacted Qantas for comment.
