I Believe I Can Fly

Where do you want to travel? Cross country? Overseas? Half way around the world?

Whereever you plan to go, if you fly, expect a layover in some airport along the way, right? That's the way it's been. Especially for longer distances. Well, Boeing is trying to prove that the extra stop(s) are unnecessary by setting a record for the longest nonstop flight by a commercial jet.

Flying from Hong Kong to London Heathrow, the new Boeing 777-200LR flew east over the Pacific Ocean, the northern United States and the Atlantic Ocean. The flight lasted 22 hours and 45 minutes over 12,000 miles. They wanted to prove that direct commercial flights are possible between any two cities in the world: New York and Singapore, Los Angeles and Dubai, or Sydney and New York, London and Sydney.

My comments: Get up and walk often. Also, they better have in flight movies.
