Can you make up 2.5 hours in a 20 hour flight?

This is the Captain.  We have a lil' problem with our entry sequence so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

No.  Cruise speed over the ocean is usually Mach .80-.85.  Over land, air traffic controllers start to slow you down.  Mainly due to aircraft separation and such. 

Information above is from an Airliners.net post about a 747 cargo pilot who routinely flies from South America to Europe.
