I saw a very, very short clip of that on the TV news, and it said  
Hong Kong to London, and I scratched my head and thought, that's  
about 6,000 miles, what's the big deal?  I didn't realize they went  
around the long way!

I guess it can actually do London-Sydney (11,000 miles?) with  
acceptable reserves and without weight penalties, which is probably  
the last unserved, economically-viable ultra-long nonstop route.
