I can relate to that, in March 1985 I took GA from Sydney to Melbourne, Bali, Jakarta (disembarked only to board the same aircraft), Singapore, Abu Dhabi (fuel stop with time spent in terminal), Frankfurt (three hour delay due to fog at LGW), and finally Gatwick, it was nearly 48 hours but it was an amazing trip for a 19yo lad flying alone with all those amazing take off and landings and on a 'Jumbojet'.
And the food was amazing too, the whole experience of that flight even to this day has to be my all time best.
