American Airlines Announced Its Longest Flight Yet: Here’s What It’s Replacing

American will begin flying between Dallas Fort Worth and Brisbane on October 27, when airlines in the Northern Hemisphere switch to winter schedules. It will use its redesigned, revamped, higher-premium, and lower-capacity Boeing 787-9s. While it will be the first time American has served the airport pair, Qantas did so until 2014 using the Boeing 747-400.
