Will BA have to follow suit?

-Unless your in first or business classes, 17 hours is a long time to spend in an airliner or sitting in one place...imagining spending that much time in a theater (ever sat through a five hour opera?) or auto (it takes that long to cross Texas, but at least you get to stretch your leash at fuel stops).
Seriously, I wonder if they'll have extra cabin crew or lavatories?
I do the SEA - LHR route and by the end of the flight the BA cabin has the ambiance of a third-world bus....and that's "only" a nine-hour flight.

-I've flown to Australia several times with BA & Qantas and on occasions the London-Asia leg and the Asia-London leg has been 14hrs and once it was 14½hrs. An extra few hours on top isn't really going to make that much difference. It'll probably be longer than the 17hrs that they are saying when flying East to West due to the prevailing Westerlies.

-I always thought BA and Qantas both stopped in Bangkok? Could be wrong. That's usually about 12 hours to the UK.
