I find it very humorous that people quote block times as flight times. ATL-JNB is NOT 15 hours 25 minutes and JNB-ATL is not nearly 17 hours.

I take these flights often in different seasons and my longest ATL-JNB was 14 hours 55 minutes and JNB-ATL was 16 hours and 5 minutes. My variation is also very small, my shortest/longest are only separated by 10 minutes. This is actual flight time.

Further I also did ATL-BOM and that was never 17 hours.
