I have been part of a crew that operated a 16hr flight from the Middle East to the United States.

It's pretty much interesting as we have two sets of crew members who share the flight time. It's really not that difficult per SE.

As a passenger, I have flown from Johannesburg to Heathrow.

As a passenger, you would enjoy long haul flights in the business class.

And yes my baby the Boeing 777 family is one of the best long haul airplanes in existence. grin


Can you please explain why some return flights are shorter than the originating flights? Heard something like moving with the wind and going in the West-East direction or so, i'm not really sure. Thanks

It's due to the rotation of the Earth from West to East. So, a plane traveling in an easterly direction is "flying with" the Earth, and take a shorter time to get to their destination; while the greater headwinds encountered by planes flying east to west is responsible for those flights taking a little longer.

Cool.
My earlier opinion was based on a doc about British Airways that I watched on YouTube. The BA flight was an 18-hr one, and one of the pilots said they'd usually had 2 crews on such flights.
I have to say, overall, that pilots have the coolest jobs.

Yes, you are right. They mostly have 2 crews on board. I think Boeing777Pilot confirmed that on his thread.
