On November 9, 2005, a Boeing 777-200LR departed Hong Kong and headed East to London. In the end, the flight flew a record setting 11,664 NM and made the trip in 22 hours, 42 minutes. Having nothing better to do on a snow day, I decided to recreate that record setting flight. It must have been a good day for winds, because somehow, I managed to make this trip in 21 hours flat.
I found this to be an interesting read too, and also lists the waypoints for the flight which I used:
VHHH-EGLL in 21h, that’s quite long. The flightplan in EDI-GLA says 11h45m for that trip. Maybe you flew a longer way, can you provide me the exactly route ?
He Flew East which is why. Usually you would fly West but if I’m not wrong they flew East which meant they Would fly over the Atlantic, USA, then the Atlantic Ocean.
Edit: IRL they flew the east way which he tried to replicate.
Yup, like @CaptainAli_yt said, I took the Eastern route instead of the normal Western route. The route I took was VHHH - 35E80 - KLAX - KJFK - Track W (to cross the Atlantic) - BEDE1H STAR - L27L APP - EGLL.
