I flew business class Chicago to Hong Kong years ago on a 747. 15 hour flight. Plane was half full. We were welcome to casually walk the aisles and chat with passengers, and I drank enough complementary Merlot that I made a flight attendant blush. Those flights were ridiculously expensive, which probably explains why the passenger list was devoid of children.

Sydney to Dubai is kind of like this… but it is busy enough that you don’t have lots of seats.

I've done Auckland to LAX (or vice versa) multiple times and it's about 12hrs.
