The longest flight ever (December 19, 2010)

At 14 hours, this was our longest flight ever. The Tokyo flight was very close. For most ocean flights, the airplane tries to stay above land as long as possible before making the ocean crossing, not this flight. We took out over the Pacific from the start and made a straight line for Australia.

The flight was excellent! We were served three meals, had lay flat beds, and individual video monitors with access to hundreds of movies and shows. 14 hours is a long time, but when you can eat, watch movies, and sleep when you want, it is pretty enjoyable. We are looking forward to the flight home.
