That's about as far south as I've seen this flight go (when it goes to the "right" of the pole), over 1000 extra miles than the great circle route. Must have been SOME winds!

At certain times to the year, the direction of this flight can actually affect how much I sleep. When it goes "left", it seems like a daytime flight, and I try to stay up the whole way (at most a postprandial nap), whereas going east makes it more of an overnight flight, and I sack in for 6+ hours. Irrational, yes, but there you have it!
