What’s the longest non-stop flight you’ve taken - distance or time?

[Blackjack Davy]

9hrs to DFW then a connecting flight to LAX for another 3 hours. Economy. Not pleasant. People were queueing for the toilets not so much because they wanted to go I think it was just an excuse to escape their seats for a bit and the stewardesses trying their best to shoo everyone back into them

Done the Auckland to Doha a couple of times, think its about 18.5 odd hours. Was the longest non-stop flight in the world for a bit.
Do i get the prize

4hrs is longhaul for me, I mostly hate flying. Nice weather I like, but any minor turbulence, it's lost my vote. I thought i'd get over it with more traveling but it seems to have gotten worse.

14 hrs to Lima I think, was torture

 

[GSXRMovistar]

London to Singapore I think was probably the longest 13 and a bit hours. Although done plenty of 10-12 hour flights to the likes of Mexico and Costa Rica.

Brize Norton - Uzbekistan
18 Hours on a C130J with a 1 hour stop in Bucharest.
Hammock is the only thing that saved me.

I remember going to pick my brother up from Brize Norton, they all looked like crap walking out

 

[CAPTAINBUMFLUFF]

14 hours from London to Tokyo

 

[AndyMoody]

Heathrow to Narita (Tokyo)

 

[sithlord]

Tokyo to London 14 hours.

I think London to Tokyo is 12.5 hours.

Headwinds !

My longest flight was from London to Vancouver but the most uncomfortable was 7.35 hours from Lossiemouth to Bermuda as I was strapped into a Martin Baker Ejection seat in the back of a Buccaneer! God my butt was sore by the time we reached Bermuda. Two lots of Air-to-Air refuelling as well.

 

[Rotty]

About 13.5 from HK (longer at moment than normal) done loads of 12+ ones to SE Asia

 

[IceAx]

Maldives was around 12ish hours iIRC

 

[markk]

London to Vegas, 10/11hrs - I can't sleep when travelling so anything longer would be a massive stuggle

 

[Ysmalari]

London to Singapore - 13 hours - final leg of the journey after a 30 min stop off in Singapore was the another 3.5 hours to Hong Kong.
Not the most fun way to spend the best part of a day as it was all in economy, but at least it was Singapore airlines so a nicer carrier.

Nice weather I like, but any minor turbulence, it's lost my vote. I thought i'd get over it with more traveling but it seems to have gotten worse.

Was flying to Aruba one time and hit bad turbulence and the plane literally dropped for a few seconds. I was near the back and the flight attendant who was sitting down on a jump seat flew in the air, hit the ceiling and dropped to the floor and knackered her wrist, all the food and drink sitting on the side went everywhere.

Ive experienced turbulence before but never where the plane falls from the sky, was quite an experience. Its a good job I always fly with my lap belt on

 

[Wardyp]

MAN via LHR to Singapore 15hrs including transfer, was in Premium but still couldn't sleep even though it was an A380

Next longest Atlanta to MAN 10Hrs

Back in the mid 90s we went to Orlando on a package holiday with 757, it had to refuel in Canada first. Can't remember the flight time but it seems to take ages

 

[XeNoN89]

London to LA, around 11 hours. I don't think I can go any further than that in economy!

 

[Grimley]

Heathrow to O'Hare & back. That was 17 years ago. I've flown about 3 times since, last time was 9 years ago. I'm not keen on flying these days, I don't like waiting around airports much. I think my last flight (with Ryanair) put me off.

 

[tbyeah]

LHR to Shenzhen in China. 13 hours I think? was not enjoyable either way
