Buffalo to LA to Sydney - I forgot how long of a flight it was overall though.

 

Longest direct flight was 20 hours, JFK to Beijing. 6 hours on the tarmac while they fixed the plane twice, then had to restock food and drinks before the 14 hours in the air.  

For years when I lived in DC, my hairstylist was a cute Vietnamese woman named Le.

 

She would go home to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City nowadays) about once or sometimes even twice a year.

 

After a lot of trial and error, she concluded the best, most efficient way to get there  was Dulles to Seoul, S. Korea, to Saigon.  Total in-air time: 24 hours.  A full day in the air! 

 

I always remember her story, b/c I have not done one of these Far East long haul flights myself---the thought of it scares me to death.

When I was in the Air Force I could catch a “hop” from Athens Greece to Omaha, NE non-stop.  Refuel over Nova Scotia, 16-18 hours. 👍
