Love to travel but dread delays and stopovers on long-haul flights?
There's possibly exciting news for you.
Emirates has launched the world's longest nonstop commercial flight by distance between Dubai and New Zealand.
An Airbus 380, the world's largest passenger plane, left Dubai and touched down in Auckland Wednesday, after traversing 14,200 kilometers.
Taking 17 hours and 15 minutes on the stretch from Auckland back to Dubai, Emirates claims it's a more fuel-efficient way to complete the journey, as well as being the quickest.
Scheduled daily, the new flight shaves three hours from Emirates' existing services that include a stopover in Australia.
