Are we landing already?

I haven't received my dinner meal service, my 2 free alcoholic beverages; nor have I taken a nap and I still need to watch the in-flight movie..

What they do? Push the throttle all the way? I flew from NY to Europe once and it took 8 hours.

Wow!

That's even quicker than flying non stop from New York to Los Angeles which is a 6 1/2 hours to 6 3/4 hours flight.

NY to LA: 3,944 km= 2,451 miles.

NY to London: 5,585 km= 3,470 miles

Should be able to fly nonstop from NY to LA in a lot less time than that 6 1/2 plus hours..

1,000 miles less to fly.
