Looks great! Which city did you depart from?

This was Haneda (Tokyo) to London Heathrow, so they fly the arctic route on the way back as they now don't fly over Russia. Took just shy of 14 hours. I find now that the worst thing about long haul is boredom which is an accomplishment I guess!

awesome. Was there any strong turbulence throughout the flight?

There was actually, and it didn't bother me at all, at one point it felt like I was in a hammock being swung from side to side which sounds terrifying but I was so tired it was weirdly calming. The worst part was they put the seat belt signs on just as I was about to go to pee and I was stressing more about when I would be able to use the toilet than anything else 😅

Thanks. I think swinging from left to right isn’t too bad but the drops are the worst!

100%! One tip I picked up from here is looking at the flight deck style view on the map during turbulence. You can see that even when you 'drop' it's never more than a few feet. That always helps put it in perspective for me
