Some seem to forget that not to long ago Singapore Airlines had the two longest SQ21 & SQ22. Both were longer that this flight.
Back home in India we have our own stories to thump the chest but with riders .

And the interesting remark in the margin
" 10 AI cabin crew made to work for all 17 hours of long-haul flight "
Admittedly there were 3 sets of cockpit crews BUT just one set of 10 stews for the entire 17 hr. ordeal. The Indian Regulator was not available to comment on the qquery raised that if there were some emergency landing were the 10 tired stews capable enough for effective evacuation ?
Sad , very sad .
Hey, my Indian Regulator, are you reading ?
Nay , never. He has better things on his mind, other than Indian Aviation.
That's why Indian Aviation has been and will continue to be down graded !
But who cares ? And why should any one ?
That's INCREDIBLE INDIA - popular slogan by the Ministry of Tourism , eh ?

I did 17hrs DFW-SYD. Never NEVER again!
I have been commuting to PTY for the past couple of years and I know a lousy terminal when I go through one (ditto a string of lousy shops selling 2 dollar monkey toys that can be bouth for 50 cents in town or awful snacks). Got it.
In future history this story will be referred to in the context of, 'That was when . . . ". What, I wonder, will these gruelling "no alternative" edges of present science push us to bring about? Somehow hypersonic must be waiting to happen commercially soon.
You should infom yourself more on MPTO, your statement is totally false. Check YouTube videos of Panama's Airport amigo.....
