Extra long $$$$
It would be interesting to see what economics of the 380 vs the 777 would be on those routes. Revenue load, passengers and freight, versus fuel burn.
Anyone have an idea at the numbers?

That aircraft is now flying for Pakistan International as AP-BGZ.
I took a photo at Manchester last year and was puzzled by the bit of paper with some scribble on it, stuck on the body, adjacent to one of the doors.
Zoomed it in, tweaked it a bit and found it was a notice with the details of the flight.

Was that going the long way round? Or the return distance going the usual way?

The route was roughly:
Hong Kong
Tokyo
Midway Island
Los Angeles
New York
London
Remember, this was for a non-stop flight record so the route was constructed of a number of segments.
There were two sunrises during the flight, reminiscent of the QANTAS Catalina service during WW2.

Oh well, the longest travelling i did was something like 6 hours to AUH and then another 14 to MEL. And around 2 hours on the ground in between. It was nice to walk around some, buti could have done actually the same during the flight as of course it was in business and there was enough space, not to mention that nice bar between business and first on the upper deck. In Economy that would have been living hell. And as i understand that singapore airlines flight will be all business, no economy on board. Probably a small first class if there is enough demand for it. Which provides more space and easy sleeping on full flat bed seats. And of course there is choice, one can always choose another option.
