Just fly it at .82 instead of .82. There's your 20 minutes!

Probably flying it at .83 just like all the the other 777's in the world. As a small point of order, when Delta flew the MD11 from KLAx to VHHH it was scheduled for 15:45 in the winter and frequently flew in excess of 16:00 if it made it non-stop. If not with a tech stop in RTCP it was anybody's guess on the total time.
