Reading a few articles yesterday over this. I didnt think the A350 had the range.

20 hours in Economy. That doesn't seem like such a great idea.

 

Incredible that the tech actually exists (or is at least feasible) to build a large capacity Airliner to go the distance. I do think though (my personal opinion only) that there must be some inherant health risks with travelling for that long in an enclosed area sharing everyone else's farts, BO and airborne (pardon the pun) ailments.

 

That's a great link Rawhide, thanks for sharing.
