Japan was the longest so far, I want to say roughly 11 hours ish? Italy coming up is pretty much the same I think it was listed at like 12 and change going there nearly 15 and a half coming back. 

[Rucksackfranzose]

Frankfurt to Sydney with stopovers at Dubai, Delhi, Taipeh, and Brisbane took about 29 hours.

[Dan+]

London to Orlando. Only time I've been outside of Europe but my time will come.

Cyprus was the next furthest - nearly 5 hours.

[Spike]

Vancouver to Brisbane. 20 houra

[Stan]

Think it was 11-12 hours to Malaysia. 

If we're including changeovers, then Heathrow to Durham. About 13-14hrs with stopover in Dubai. 

[nudge+]

Longest non-stop, around 15 hours.

Longest including stopovers, around 20 hours.

Longest including other means of transportation, 50 hours. This was the longest trip I've ever done without sleep/hotel break, and I never want to do it again.

Leeds to Lanzarote is 4 and a half hours so that's the longest for me.

[Tommy]

Mine was like 4 1/2 hours to Morocco.

That sounds exhausting. But nice! How long were you in Australia for?

A month travelled along the Eastern coast from Sydney to Airlie Beach returned through the backland.

You've been to Namibia too, right? How long did that flight take?

Frankfurt -Windhoek nonstop was between 10 and 11 hours.

4.5 hours for me.  Going to do a 8-9 hour job here shortly.

Weird, thought I had replied to this but it's vanished?

Only ever been on a plane 4 times in my life and the longest was from Singapore to London way back in 1972 (first time on a plane) and I had to google the time which said 14 hours and 20 minutes, can't say if that was the actual time in 1972?

[Dr. Gonzo]

I think 12 or 13 hours

Reflecting back I have been on a plane more times that 4.

Army days on tours of duty there and back by army transport plane X6, on leave and back X8 so in all about 20 times.

Direct though? 

[Toinho]

12 I think, a few times but that’s usually been part one of two legs into Europe.

Sister just got back from a direct flight from Rome (15 hours and 40 minutes). 
 

Not aware of any flights longer than 25 hours Tommy lol I guess the question can include the whole journey. If that’s the case easily 24 hours, including stopovers. 

[Danny]

Longest flight would have been Sydney to London 25.20h with one stop over. Though I did Auckland to Sydney 3 days before which was 3.50h, so you could say that was an overall flight of 29.10h.

The longest individual flight I’ve done is 14.55h Sydney to Doha.
