I did Melbourne to Sydney. (Unscheduled stop)
They made us get off the plane, go through security again, and go wait to get back on our plane for three hours.

Then Sydney to LA, which was about 15 hours I think.

Then 7 hours in LAX after getting and re-checking my bags.

Then 4 hours home to TO.

That was the longest 29ish hours.

(I'd do it again in a heartbeat to go back though)

Those screaming babies must really suck for you hearing people... :ph34r: Why I can just turn off my hearing aid and rest peacefully! :D Now, if a terrible two is in the seat directly behind me and starts kicking my seat, then I'm in for a long flight... >:( I've already made a rule that we don't fly anywhere with our baby until it's 4 or 5 and well behaved. :|

Forgot to say my 2nd longest flight was Atlanta to SF to Maui, total 8 hours. Then coming back - Maui to SF to Chicago to Atlanta. That sucked. But at least I was in first class. :P

My wife's longest was JFK straight to Seoul, Korea. She overflew the Canadian Rockies and part of Alaska. Breath-taking views...

Rome to Atlanta I think its about 5200 miles



How long was that? About 9 hours? I think that was how long it took me from ATL to Frankfurt, Ger. Yeah, 9 hours, not 9000 miles as I originally stated...

HMM longest.... C-130 from McChord AFB WA to Hickam AFB HI.. refuel.. then on to Clark AB PI.

I love C-130's but THIS One....was an older A model... and vibrated WAYYYYY too much.;)



So with the right position sitting on the seats, you could have had a blow your mind out kind of time... :ph34r: :D

Tampa--LAX--Taipei--Singapore--Sydney

That online calculator says that's 19,940 miles. Could that be right?? :o

I suppose LAX to Taipei is the longest leg.

We stopped in Singapore for two days then headed to Australia though. I'd skip Singapore next time around!
