A lot of people do XXX-LHR-SIN-SYD-XXX in ET/WT. That is hard work as you do not get much of a leg stretch in SIN if you are on BA 15.

I used to do that route quite often (although on QF, admittedly, it's basically the same as BA LHR-SIN-SYD) and work a full day on arrival (and working a full day before departing the other way round) and I would not like to do that again. It was quite exhausting.

In many ways, a 16-hour leg is easier than the likes of LHR-SIN-SYD. Most passengers getting off at LHR or SYD off BA 15/16 look pretty tired. I think the SIN stop makes things worse in some ways because of having to go through security again there.
