747-400 Sim trip - Best use of 1 hour?

I've been bought as a pressie, a 1hr 744 trip in a BA sim

Something i've always wanted to do since a kid and a complete surprise from my BA crew Girlfriend! Top Girl! - Can't wait!

Anyway... Apparently I can request whatever I like? (waiting for someone to disagree with this) however,
IF this is the case, I can pick location, situation, environment, day-night etc.
Does anyone have any suggestions to get the fullest from a 1hr ride?

My obvious set up would be circuits around LHR however, i'm sure whatever I choose,
the 1 hour shall go very quickly! (no comments about being in the hold for an hour, this is a genuine request for ideas)

Wonder if Kai tak is still in the system or some other scenario?
Is there a well known emergency scenario to input into the kit?

Have plenty of real flight deck air time behind me (but not at the controls)
and a few hours in fast jets too so more interested in something a bit tech
and challenging rather than the sensation of just being in the 'office' if that makes sense?
Kind regards
Snaps

NB Apologies if this isn't right forum, can't think of a better place to find the people who would know the answers to my question!
