Perhaps someone will bring back a super sonic passenger plane.
Australia-UK: First non-stop flight arrives in London from Perth - BBC News |
I've spent 12 hours Phoenix to London non stop in a 747. And a friend has done several San Franciso to Auckland NZ at 13 or 14 hours. Both were bad enough but you can at least get up and walk around a bit if you really need to. For me it's a toss up between having to endure the strain of such a non stop flight (I can never sleep on a plane) and the hassle/unpleasantness of having to change planes and deal with all the airport BS sometimes multiple times on a trip if you don't fly direct.
