The vast, arid landscape and the intriguing text "A journey 105 years in the making."

The ad opens with an aerial shot of a vast, dry, outback landscape with the text "A journey 105 years in the making." This transitions to historical footage of early biplanes, then progresses through various iconic aircraft from different eras, including seaplanes and early passenger jets. The pacing accelerates as it showcases more modern and larger aircraft, culminating in shots of a Qantas A350-1000ULR flying over London at sunset. The final scenes show the Qantas logo and tagline over the London skyline.
