No they just fly round and round in circles to the sun comes up. That is why you think you are going across Russia on that little map on the back of the seat. You are not! You are outside the China sea, they just fly round and round until the sun comes up :cwm12::cwm12::icon_lol:

Sounds like the Generation Game with the conveyor belt collecting your luggage, towel, hairdryer, shorts, tshirt, cuddly toy! Do I win the prize? My luggage. I recognised it all!
