Singapore to London on a 747 is 12 hours not 22. Typo? Or you’re misremembering. I’ve flown this route many times.

Travel times haven’t really improved in 40+ years. A quick search shows a 747 flew at ~614mph and a 787 at 583.

Apologies - definitely mis-remembering. It was nearly 2 decades ago. I might have been thinking of the total flying time from Sydney to London.
