Are these too many flight?

I am considering JFK-LHR (AA) -BLR (BA) -HKG (KA) -SYD (CX) -CNS (QF) without 24 hours in between. all are in C except the first segment. since i am using aa miles I think i might be able to get into C on the day of the flight.

would you be overwhelmed at four overnight flights?

Depends on the person. Personally I have spent more than 4 consecutive nights in the air and so would not have a problem.

overnight flights

Drink lots of water.

Eat lightly.

Don't drink alcohol.

Walk around airports.

Expose yourself to sunlight between flights.

Enjoy the experience.

And...why are you doing this?

I'm considering something like that too but not too crazy. I'm experimenting on an RTW trip but all within 24-36 hours of one another as a celebration of my finishing college and admission to university. Here's the itin:

SIN-LHR (SQ), LHR-FRA (LH), FRA-JFK (SQ), JFK-SFO (UA/CO), SFO-SEA (UA/VX) all in F and within 24 hours in between.

So have fun if you're going to do so!

Yeah, its just simple questionable from airlines. It's importance where you need things to do. You need filling drink the water all of the time. Because TSA won't let you into the aircraft along with bottled water due to security.

TSA and other securities throughout airports around the world to be exact.
