My absolute longest in one sitting/one flight was 15 hours from Dubai to Chicago. Naturally I've had longer travel days with connecting flights and layovers but that it is the single longest flight I've had. I've also done 13 hours from Chicago to Delhi (India) and 14 hours from Los Angeles to Sydney, Australia. What is the longest plane trip you have taken?

Honolulu to Chicago, made longer by the fact that there was a medical emergency on board and the plane turned back to Honolulu about halfway to the west coast. Ooh, that was a long flight.

I went to Australia in 1998 but that wasn't a direct flight, We had to stop off in the Philippines one way and Malaysia the other.
