As far as I could remember, the longest flight was going to Tajikistan for almost 24 hours.Just imagine the jet lag that I experienced.A taxi driver was waiting for me with my complete name on a placard and dropped me off at the volunteer house.I was only given two hours to sleep and needed to see the international NGO's staff in a restaurant.This is the last and worst long flight that I experienced. Have you been on many long-haul flights? Which was the longest?

I've flown in a friend's single-engine plane for about an hour and in a helicopter for about half an hour... And that's all the flying I've done.

@Babino I've never needed to fly anywhere. When Pretty and I go on vacations, we stay in the US and I drive there and back. (It takes 24 hours to drive from our house in the middle of the continental US to the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. And that's only stopping to put gas in the car and to get something to eat along the way.)

The longest for me was to the US too via Shanghai, China. I was lightheaded when I arrived there and had slept irregularly for almost a week before I recovered.

Wow, that sounds like quite an ordeal! I can't even imagine being on a flight for almost 24 hours, let alone having to go to a meeting shortly after landing. I've been on a few long-haul flights myself, but nothing quite that extreme. I think the longest one I've been on was around 14 hours, which was still pretty exhausting.

The longest flight that I ever took was sixteen hours to the US. It was too tiring. After that, we never booked a direct flight to the US. We would always break our journey.

My longest was my US trip in 2018. I had almost 17 hours travel. Good thing I only needed less than a week to adjust to their time. It was quite memorable trip that until now I still wish I could return there sometime in the future. I just do not know if I could endure that long trip.

This is a really long flight. The longest flight for me is from Hong Kong to California. I forgot how many hours it took, I thought it might be about 15-18 hours. It is not very suffering for me since I could eat, sleep and watched movies when I was in the plane. And therefore it seemed it wouldn't take a long time arrving to California.

My longest was from Nice (France) to Los Angeles, 18 hours flight. When we arrived, my husband picked up the car we had rented from Europe and he drove to our Hotel.

I think probably 11 hours is the longest in one go. We've done 17 hours but have changed planes in the middle.

The only flight I’ve ever been on was only 1:20. I want to go to bali and i heard it’s 33 hours away. Kind of scary.

I haven't go abroad yet. The longest flight I took was when I went to Papua from Jakarta, both cities are in Indonesia. That flight took about 6 hours.
