Qantas has detailed changes to the in-flight experience it tested during three trial flights, nearly 20 hours long, from New York and London to Sydney in 2019. The airline worked with researchers from the University of Sydney’s Charles Perkins Centre to implement changes such as setting the cabin lighting to help people adapt to the time zone of their final destination; leading passengers through physical activities; shifting the timing of meals and serving food and drinks designed to either help people stay awake or drift off to sleep. The research is part of a years-long effort by Qantas to “overcome the tyranny of distance” between Australia and the rest of the globe.
