The new flight from Perth, Australia, is about three hours faster compared to other flights that include stops in the Middle East to refuel or replace the aircraft.
Representatives of the airline said that for a more comfortable long flight in the plane, they improved the air quality and provided a low noise level.
Kwong was flying in economy class and shared photos. He liked the lunch: "Delicious and satisfying."
Other passengers also shared shots of a menu specially compiled for the flight and free essential kits.
The plane was equipped with refrigerators with free drinks and snacks.
Even the snacks were chosen so that passengers did not suffer from dehydration, poor sleep and belt changes.
In business class, a traditional British roast was served for lunch.
In addition to the main course and a free refrigerator with snacks, there was also a breakfast with fresh pastries.
The essential kit included a sleep mask, earplugs, a blanket and a toothbrush.
During the flight, the plane got into turbulence zones due to tropical cyclone Marcus.
