What is the longest flight you have been on?

[Gibsons]

SF to London

Chicago to London for me. You beat me by half a continent.

 

[Lifted]

JFK to BKK nonstop

17.5 hours if I remember correctly.

 

[busydude]

16 hours; New Delhi to Chicago.

 

[zerogear]

NYC to TPE, anywhere from 18-24 hours with layovers. (JFK -> Anchorage -> TPE)

 

[CLite]

LAX -> MEL (Melbourne, AUS) 18 hours

That's my record, and it followed EWR to LAX (6 hr). Overall a very painful day of travel, and all in coach with the Aussie leg being in a middle seat.

 

[busydude]

NYC to TPE, anywhere from 18-24 hours with layovers.

With layovers I've traveled for more than 24 hours.

 

[TallBill]

From Kuwait to Fort Campbell, KY. About 18 hours flight time + a one hour layover. I slept the entire way.

 

[ichy]

Cape town to Amsterdam. About 12 hours I think.

What was really awful about that trip was that that was only one leg. I woke up in Antananarivo, Madagascar, flew from there to Johannesburg to Cape Town. I had about an eight hour wait in Cape Town, then the flight to Amsterdam. In Amsterdam I had a six hour layover, then a flight to Detroit, four hours of waiting in Detroit and then a flight to Baltimore. Fuuuuuuuuck.

With layovers I've traveled for more than 24 hours.

My next trip to HK has me staying in Germany for a 16-hour layover, resulting in a trip time of... 40 hours 5 minutes. Awesome.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Chicago to Tokyo, which was about 12 hours IIRC. Maybe 13.

 

[MixMasterTang]

In a 72 Hour Span I flew from Brisbane - Sydney - Los Angeles (spent 1 night there)- Kansas City (spent 1 night at home, did laundry and packed)- Washington DC, Dubai.

 

[bignateyk]

San Fran to Sydney was pretty long... 14-15 hours I think on the way back.

Manama to DC wasn't quite that long.. maybe 14 hours of flight time on the way back.

 

[sdifox]

in the 80s

Kaoshiong-Taoyuen
Taoyuen-Tokyo
Tokyo-Vancouver
Vancouver-Lima
Lima-Santiago
Santiago-Buenos Aires

 

[EagleKeeper]

VA -> Israel
6 hrs
Had to get gas half way there

No way to stretch one's legs

 

[Baked]

Hong Kong ---> San Francisco
14 hours and 30 minutes

 

[sdifox]

NYC to TPE, anywhere from 18-24 hours with layovers. (JFK -> Anchorage -> TPE)

you should fly to YYZ and catch the EVA direct flight on 777.

 

[sdifox]

My next trip to HK has me staying in Germany for a 16-hour layover, resulting in a trip time of... 40 hours 5 minutes. Awesome.

why would you book that?

 

[PrinceofWands]

San Fran to London...was 13 or 14 hours I think.

 

[Chops McGandhi]

I've only flown 2 places in my whole life but Charlotte to Seattle was my longest at about 5 hours.

 

[Ryland]

NY to Beijing

 

[KMFJD]

Vancouver - Auckland was 14 hours straight
Toronto to Perth Australia took the longest (40 hours with layovers)

 

[busydude]

My next trip to HK has me staying in Germany for a 16-hour layover, resulting in a trip time of... 40 hours 5 minutes. Awesome.

Why? Is there no better alternative?

 

[chubbyfatazn]

why would you book that?

Mileage redemption. I managed to get tickets in C on Lufthansa so I'm happy about it. Plus I get to explore a city I've never been to before for a bit.

 

[FoBoT]

not too far, only atlanta or NYC to europe, either brussels or zurich, so about 8 hrs

 

[SunnyD]

JFK to Heathrow back when I was like 4 years old.

Next longest would have been the Detroit to SeaTac (Seattle) leg of the Syracuse to Seattle flight I took a few years ago.
