You have to run premium with turbos, blowers, and high compression motors.
That must depend on the flight path and the carrier. United flights in and out of SF take longer going to HK than returning by at least 1 1/2 hours. I believe it's around 14 hours to go to HK, and around 12 1/2 hours to return.Originally posted by Kadarom Douhrek
Um, from Newark, NJ to Hong Kong is a 13 hour flight on a 777.
From Hong Kong to Newark is an 18 hour flight on a 777.
It takes longer heading East, not West.
And remember that the jetstreams are heading East, so the wind is helping the plane on the return trip, not slowing it down.
