Passengers onboard the world's longest flight had their journey extended yesterday after the Perth to London flight had to return to Australia due to the disruptive behavior of a male passenger.
The flight usually takes just over 17 hours, but on this occasion Qantas flight 9 returned to Perth after just two hours in the air.

The passenger reportedly spent an hour in the bathroom before marching up the aisle shouting and pointing.
