Los Angeles To Hongkong.....

[Boeing_747]

Just took my 13 hr flight from Honkong nonstop to Los Angeles on the Boeing 747-400. Had rest around 7 hrs in the pilot bunk and the approach was left over to our crew members so we landed the big jet safe and sound, just another safe flight just another boring day nothing more nothing less. My flight is returning as 881 to hongkong in a few hrs. Do u think I can make it ? It says it take 15 hrs ....... From KLAX to VHHH , I had 3% fuel in left and right and 11% in the center tank. Can u make it and can I , and I am using the POS 744.

Hi, and welcome to CPVA :) Sure you can make it, just make sure you keep speed and climb rate reasonable (don't burn too much fuel early on). You will definitely want to step climb, so avoid the MS ATC.
