About QF12
QF12 is a Qantas flight departing Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in Los Angeles, United States, arriving at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (SYD) in Sydney, Australia. The great-circle route covers about 12,061 km (6,512 nautical miles), with a typical flight time around 14 h 13 min, usually operated by a Airbus A380-800.
How the tracker works
Navlytix combines free community ADS-B receivers with Flightradar24 data for ocean coverage, dead-reckons the aircraft between position reports so it moves continuously, and computes the arrival estimate from live distance-to-go and ground speed rather than the airline's published revision. You can also replay past flights and browse the route's history.
