Are we there yet?

A Boeing Co. jet arrived in London from Hong Kong on Thursday, breaking the record for the longest nonstop flight by a commercial jet. The 777-200LR Worldliner _ one of Boeing's newest planes _ touched down shortly after 1 p.m. (8 a.m. EST) at London's Heathrow Airport after a journey of more than 13,422 miles. The previous record was set when a Boeing 747-400 flew 10,500 miles from London to Sydney in 1989.

They probably still only got a small bag of peanuts for the whole trip.


At least one can get tanked, sober up, get tanked, and sober up all in one flight.

Hong Kong-London flights usually fly over Russia.

That would be the LOGICAL route

According to Boeing, the plane is pressurized to 6,000 feet, instead of the usual 8,000 feet, so poppage should be down...although pants thievery is up...
