Worlds 10 (Actually 11) Longest Flights

[Trebor]

Anyone been on any of these, would you do it again or would you chose to fly indirect? I certainly dont think i would fancy 18+ hours on a plane especially at the prices it gives for No. 1

I've done Dubai - Houston a couple of times, worst thing is the timing, i.e. leaving at 9am.

If you have to travel these distances you cannot avoid at least one long flight so you might as well do it in one go!

I have done LA to Singapore with SIA... was not that bad given the who plane is specially fitted for this long travel. There is no economy (upgraded to premium economy) and business class had flat beds. Enough room to walk around and snack away. As already said, you have to do long hours so might as well do it in one go.

I've done numerous 14 hour flights before - another couple of hours is not going to change it much. Basically I solve it thus: Business Class. No other solution. I refuse to fly economy long haul - nothing more than about 8 hours.

I think the longest flight would be where the captain is running down the aisles screeming there's a bomb aboard and to say the Lord's Prayer.

The longest flight I did on delta airlines, from HK to Weslaco (south Texas), that involved, HK-Detroit, go through immigration, wait another hour for the next flight to memphis, and then another flight from memphis to weslaco. In all about 30 hours.

Of if we want to add connections, I'm sure we can all do huge flights. I think my record was Melbourne to Vancouver via Hong Kong with 1 hr in HK .......
