Will be taking this flight tomorrow and it's my first time going over the top. It gets dark about an hour after takeoff in the eastern time zone. Will it be dark the rest of the way there? I don't think the flight crosses to many time zones as it goes straight up then down over Russia and China right?

Not that much to see but it's not all dark, as you'll get a few hours of light somewhere from southern Siberia though Mongolia to northern China before it gets dark again.

Thanks Raymond. I'll be sitting on the right like you did although in the back. I wonder if the moon will be visible and if it'll illuminate anything on the ground. Probably not enough for pictures but it would be nice to see something!

All I can say "WOW!" what a nice morning sky. I love to watched the sunrise & sunset during my TATL flight.

Thanks. I've flown CO99/98 too many times... (all in coach except once)
