Qantas Flight QF6079 SYD - BGI
Qantas QF6079 (reg#. VH-ZNJ) SYD - BGI 16hrs 54mins. B787-9 "Hitting bounderies". Chartered flight for Australia Cricket team. Can this or will it be a new route? https://flightaware.com/live/flight/QFA6079/history/20210726/0200Z/YSSY/TBPB (www.nationnews.com) Altro...

It also did Brisbane to St. Lucia a month ago: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/QFA6079/history/20210628/0300Z/YBBN/TLPL
If you want to see it as a great circle route...

I'd like to think it eventually becomes a route. Even if only a seasonal one.
I would be shocked if the demand was there. How many Australians want to go to Barbados for a vacation and are willing to be on a plane for 17+ hours? It might make sense for a special event like the Cricket test charter, but not as a regular flight.
Incidentally, the plane is currently airborne for an even longer, almost 19 hour flight to Dhaka:

Hopefully I does, 16hrs beats 4days of travelling to me!
