And here's the full planned route for today’s #QF7879. The planned path mostly follows the great circle route while accounting for airway placement and weather conditions. The third image shows the great circle route compared to the planned flight path.

This isn't the first time Qantas has flown between London and Sydney non-stop. 30 years ago, Qantas took delivery of its first 747-400 VH-OJA via London. For that flight a special fuel was used and the aircraft was towed to the runway before starting its engines.
