Was that a commercial flight or just a record attempt?

Looks like it wasn't. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/q...top/index.html

So this flight is their longest commercial flight as per the tweet.

Even in a 787 16 hrs would be hell. Maybe they get lucky and can see the Antarctic as they pass over. (would it be dark then?)
