Think that’s long? Imagine being a pilot/copilot of a B2 doing 30hr missions

San Fran to Frankfurt was my longest. I don’t remember how long it was because they served a lot of alcohol and it felt like a night club like chasing the sun and daylight the whole trip.

Worst flight was a c-141 from New Jersey to San Fran. It was a tube of pain, freezing and and the cargo seats sucked...I’d take a 20 hours Qantas flight any day.

16+ to China.

It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. Understanding beforehand that you'll be spending the better part of a day in a plane kinda prepares you psychologically.

Sleep for 6-8 hours. Watch a couple of movies. Walk around the plane a bit to stretch out. Get some work done. Read for a bit. 2 meals served. The time goes by alot faster than you think if you stay busy.

LAX to Singapore this past Feb. on Singapore Airlines. 17 1/2 hra. Ate about 70 mgs of THC edibles over the course of the flight. Still better than a 12-13 hr flight, layover, then another 9-10 hr flight.

Longest was Tucson to Kuwait City.

Then Seattle to Seoul and ATL to Honolulu. The one to Honolulu was the worst though because I had small kids with me.

I went Houston to Beijing and Hong Kong to LAX on the way back. The jet lag for a 13-hour time difference was brutal.

Hell, it’s better than a 12 hour difference at that point. Anything over 12 and you’re counting back down to zero. Still would suck though.

Houston to Seattle on Spirit Airlines which was basically like being on a gigantic go kart in the sky with children screaming everywhere for 4.5 hours, which felt more like 10 hours.

15 hours LA to Sydney

Ambien
Xanax
Heineken

I sat in my window seat. Made it through 20 minutes of Batman vs Superman. Woke up and looked out the window and could see Sydney.

Best flight ever. I think the husband wife and three year old next to me thought I had died.
