Agreed. I forgot to mention LHR - Nairobi - also non stop. I have also been on some flights which did stop, and some when I had to change planes. One of the shortest "stopping" flights was from Sweden to Glasgow, which stopped briefly in Edinburgh, then just about cleared the lights at the end of the runway before coming down outside Glasgow. Also I have listed the long flights, but ignored the shorter feeder flights - so sometimes there were several flights to get to or from destinations in Vietnam, the USA or Africa, and sometimes the total time would have been more than 24 hours - but the longest flight time was about 15 hours.
