Why are there no direct flights from London to Sydney or Melbourne? Is there simply not enough demand? I thought that England and Australia had deep historical ties to each other.

i'm not sure we have the technology to fly that far without any stops

Too long bud

We have more than enough technology, price is the issue. Airlines would not make enough revenue compared to the cost of fuel and equipment to have those routes be profitable, even if they are in high demand.

How long would it be? I flew Dallas to Sydney and it was 17hrs long

They have
Australian companies are in fact british companies making business in Australia

Why not just fly over Antarctica to get to England fast?

Heathrow to Sydney would take about 19 hours for 17,000km of distance.

when I flew that route you always stopped in dubai, it was pretty great after a double digit plane flight

legally to fly over the arctic or antarctic you need survival gear and at least a week's worth of food for every passenger and crew member. no point
