17.5 HOURS NON-STOP on Qantas 787-9 Business Class from New York to Auckland

Join me as I fly Qantas Business Class from New York to Auckland — a long-haul journey with high expectations and a few surprises along the way. While the seat was fantastic and the crew couldn’t have been friendlier — especially the incredible crew member who took care of me throughout — not everything lived up to the premium promise. The food, unfortunately, fell short: poorly presented, bland, and seemingly made with low-quality ingredients. Still, the overall experience left me feeling grateful. Qantas is finally back at JFK, and this flight reminded me just how special that is. With Project Sunrise on the horizon and direct flights to Sydney from New York coming soon, the future looks exciting. Is this route worth your miles — or your money? Let’s find out together.
