About two hours. Charlie Hammond’s seaplane base on the Intracoastal Canal Houma to Chandeleur Islands. Lots of big specs.

Atlanta to Frankfurt. Dont remember exactly how long it was, 8 or 9 hours maybe. But you also jump ahead 6 hours so sorta like a whole day and night is gone when you get off the plane.

Fly Mia to Vegas several times a year, couple of dozen lifetime trips. That one is 5.5 hours and lose 3 hours in time zone.

About 17 hours on a single leg, but I’ve had several upwards of 40 hours of travel time.

Mine isn't that bad ~10hrs.

My brother however did the now discontinued Singapore to Newark route which was about 18 1/2 hrs. I believe it is still the longest scheduled commercial flight ever.

It was, but the new Perth - London Qantas route is now longer. Boeing 787, ~17 hours, ~9,000 miles

Next presently is DFW -Sydney at 16.5 hours.

0. Never flown before.

How old are you? It amazes me that there are adults who have never flown before. I think my mom was like 45 the first time that she flew anywhere.

My longest flight was 10.5 hours from Rome to Atlanta.

ATL to NRT. 14 hours

Same here,plus one time we all got a bonus 2 hour delay on the ATL tarmac with a maintenance issue.
Delta fricks piled us all on the plane, backed off the gate about 20 feet, then announced this maintenance issue.
