The longest possible flight to London would be ten hours. That's really not that big a deal. I'm all for extending the season a week or two and giving teams two byes, and if that were the case travel to London would be a non-issue because you could definitely give west coast teams plus Arizona and Denver two weeks to travel there. Even on the current schedule I don't think it's that big a deal, at least the travel and acclimation. You'd need to go early in the week and you'd lose a day of preparation and you wouldn't have your own facilities to train in. So that would be a drag. And the London team would be on the road half the year which would be a drag on them. But it could be done.
They'd need to change the name of the league, though.
