It'll be a pretty light 787 so suspect 4.4 tonne will be 30ish minutes on top of FFR of 30 min and approach and landing.

Still, skinny!

The issue is if they're delayed- say by an hour. That pushes them back into the pack for holding of 20+ minutes as well as on the cusp of 20 hour tour of duty. Suspect lots of stuff happening behind the scene in order to address these sorts of problems.
