From New York to Incheon, Seoul in late November 2019. 16 hour flight, with a two hour layover, so 18 hours total. And trying to figure out the time zone conversion there without just looking at my watch, is some level of math I'm not trying to do.

So i had to fly from Syracuse Ny to Seattle Wa. Slept in a hotel, got my negative pcr test. Then continue my journey on a rotator from Seattle to Korea.

I don't know the exact flight time, but it took forever. I'm used to going to and from Alaska and Ny, but Korea? Terrible. It was definitely over 15 hours and I had the worse seats.

I don't remember the length of flight, but I had the privilege of going to France for a high school trip one summer. It was a two-part trip since I lived in the Midwest at the time. Flight over the Atlantic seemed endless, but keep in mind I was 13 or 14.

MrOracle · Answer

Though I believe that Miami was a bit further distance-wise than NYC, my longest flight time-wise was the return flight to San Francisco from NYC at 6.5 hours. Miami to SF was just over 6 hours. The return flight is longer because of headwinds - from SF to NYC only took about 5 hours. Weather definitely makes a difference when you're flying a longer distance.

Sjoerd85 · Answer

Longest flight I did was from Charles de Gaulle Airport (Paris) to Narita Airport (Tokyo). It took 12 hours in both directions. I actually bought the tickets to depart from Brussels, but the plane was from Paris. So from Brussels to Paris they put us on a high speed train in first class (the train actually had a flightnumber for this trip). In Japan, I had to travel another few hours on local and high speed trains to get to my destination, so the total door to door time was 27 hours.

Something like 18 hours from Chicago to Tokyo with my mom when I was a kid. Then on to another flight, then a train. Longest. Trip. Ever. That's why if anyone ever wants me to go to Asia again, they'll need to move the continent much closer!

I am not sure, but I suspect it was JFK in New York City to Leonardo da Vinci International Airport in Rome circa 1972. We were on our way to Greece. I was in the 3rd Grade, so this was school year 1971-72 and I am pretty sure we went in 1972.

Los Angeles to Madrid. I'm not sure how long this took but it seemed like forever. I think the longest flight I could stand at this point would be about 16 hours and that would be quite painful.
