Holy cow! Twenty hours on a plane! I am both in awe and repelled! :-)
This plane was designed to test the endurance of passengers to numerous bad movies and crying babies while in cramped seating for nearly a complete day and night.
20 hours on a flight is amazing !
"With the ability to carry out non-stop 20-hour flights"? They either increase seat/leg room significantly or the flight crew must include 2-3 physicians to treat many passengers suffering from DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)on such flights.
How much further until you can go halfway around the world. No need to go any further than that.
B52 24hrs+...but VERY uncomfortable and in IFE.
