Think this might belong in Av Polls and Prefs
Some pretty long ones for me, often I just don't trust myself to wake up in time for a flight, so will stay awake all night instead. I also refuse to pay extortionate hotel rates for short stays and what would be very little sleep anyway - I'll quite happily stay overnight in the terminals and really don't mind doing this, as often the earliest flights are the cheapest too!
AMS-
CDG-
AMS-
BRS; 30 hours. Flew the Varig MD11 to
CDG, spent the night in the terminal then back to Bristol via
AMS. Bloody KLM F100 went tech, so was delayed and missed my flight back to PLH, meaning I didn't get home until about 2am the following morning.
PLH-
NQY-
LGW-
KEF; 30 hours over two days with the night on an uncomfortable bench in
LGW.
BHX-
BFS-
STN-
GLA-
BHX-
AMS-
PVG, 50 hours, although I did sleep on the flight to China and had a whole row to myself! When I booked the random day trip around the UK I didn't know that I was going to be going to Shanghai the very next day: I spent the first night in the airport as I had an early flight and public transport would not have gotten me there in time, then flew around the UK on one of my random jaunts, then that night getting ready to go away before leaving home at 4am, and spending the following day and night on the plane. Still wasn't that tired when I arrived either!
PVG-
AMS-
BHX/
BRS-PLH; 40 hours over two days. Got back to my uni digs in Brum just long enough to sort out stuff to get ready for taking back to PLH.
FAE-Torshaven,
FAE-
CPH-
BRU-
BHX; 35 hours. After a full day sightseeing and a helicopter flight, flew to
CPH where I spent the night on a bench and then early the next morning carried on to Birmingham.
MAH-
BCN-
MAD-
LGW-
NQY-PLH, about 24 hours from first to last flight. Spent the night in Barcelona airport - my GOD that marble is cold to try and sleep on!
The longest though for a non stop journey though would definately be this;
MPH-
CEB-
MNL,
MNL-
MFM,
HKG-
LGW. Door to door it was 57 hours, one night spent in a 24 hour 'jollibee' fast food joint in Manila waiting for a bus station to open, then another flying
HKG-
LGW. I was probably awake for about 60 in total, as I didn't go to bed for a long time after I got back - too many family and friends who wanted to chat... and then work the very next day. Shameless plug of a trip report
