Either way it's a bloody long time! I and never fly at night on the way back from SIN 'cos it never gets light for the whole trip!
You get to see London in the very early morning though...

Correct me if I'm wrong Charlie but that was Hong Kong - LHR(eastbound) not Sydney. Either wway its an achievement
Where's the challenge in landing with wheels?

You're quite right. Brain failing me in my old age... Anyway, it was still a record!

Think we flew 28 hours in total from Heathrow to Brisbane (layovers somewhere...Kuala Lumpur and Dubai? I'm not sure). This was at the time of the first Gulf War, so I think we had a diversion around the area which added to the flight time a bit. Am I a winner?

A winner indeed it seems, if it were a competition. That would be a real gruelling task, 28 hours but at least you had stops

I was about 9 as well, so I fitted nicely into the seats. Also, I fell asleep with my head on my Mum's lap for about 3 hours apparently, and, saint that she is, she couldn't bear to move me. So she got some nasty pins and needles.

I've done JFK to PEK (About 14 hours) and JFK to Incheon (About 14 hours too). And add in the connections too... (about two hours out of PBI.)
