Did 22/24 hr (combined one-way) flights between Houston and Kuala Lumpur and will do something similar to Saudi Arabia in January. The longest leg of the KL flight was 14 hrs, though.

Houston to London was 8hrs

London to Bahrain was similar. Gulf Airlines was really cool bc the flight attendants wore the “I dream of geanie” hair pieces and were all smoke shows.

I agree was a previous poster, 8hrs+ on commercial beats the hell out of 4hrs+ on a military aircraft

I've self inflicted much worse punishment on myself for the hell of it. This doesn't scare me at all.

Those guys and gals that fly in that tin can known as the International Space Station must go batshit crazy from time to time.

20 hours on a plane.

Piece of cake.

Many years ago when I was a teenager. I spent 60 hours on a Trailways bus cross country. TWICE.

On the return I had $2 in my pocket when the bus left. It was a long, hungry ride.

12 hours to Fiji. Flew first class though and my seat turned into a bed so I slept most of the flight both there and back.

Indonesia trip next year is 23 hours of total travel from LAX. Not looking forward to that part.

8 hours, can’t sleep on a plane and could have only taken probably another 2-3 hours. 20 hours would be torture
