For me, flight time and flight miles earned are very significant as I try to plan my first RTW.

I hope my interests can be accomodated in your thread.
No prob -- I was just confused by the post. I actually don't mind the extra time -- more time to sleep, eat, drink, watch movies. Of course this in in F. I just want the best experience since I'm forking over all the $$$. If someone says that the QF 744 is preferrable to the CX 346, that's what I want to know.
