Thankyou to everyone else. longboardphotography yes the flight was a bit bumpy but wasen't too bad. :)

Actually "Mate" If you read the comment I said 'almost' 16 hours and that's crap about it not being able to do it a Qantas B747-400ER which has been designed as an 'Extended Range' aircraft for a reason are capable of flying for 16 hours, take QF8 for example DFW - BNE takes a little over 16. Also I have had many flights from Sydney that have been ER's and have taken around 15.5 - 16 hrs I'm also aware that a Virgin Australia B77W may not be able to fly for that long I wasn't talking about that.

Thankyou! :)

[Joshmatica25]

Yes, I've had flight to Los Angeles that have taken almost 16 hrs. It all depends on the winds.

[Joshmatica25]

12-13 hours.

[Joshmatica25]

@Joshmatica25 Never ever. You know why ? Because there is no plane on that route that can fly 16 hours nonstop except Delta`s 777-200LR. Neither Virgins 777-300ER can fly nonstop 16 hours or Qantas 747-400 can.And: There can never be that big difference between flights with headwind and tailwind. Normal duration between SYD and L.A is outbound 14 ( headwind ) and 12,5 hours inbound with good tailwind. Never 16 , mate !!!

Was it turbulent at all throughout the flight?
