> Generally speaking flight time is less than half of the total door-to-door time of air travel.

Maybe for domestic flights but for international flights (especially if you live in Australia) it would improve the flying experience. I've noticed a big difference on my body when flying 8hr vs 12hrs.

It may not seem like a big difference but those extra 4hrs put a massive strain on your body and mind.




If you live in New Zealand, you learn to suffer. A (dubious) upside is that you rarely circle long - after 18+ hours in the air, you're coming down.
