No idea if this has been asked before, but whats the longest flight you've been on?

 

I'll start, 13.5 hours EWR - PEK.

This is going to sound really boring and crap: 3.5 hours ALC - PRG SkyEurope 737-700

I make up for it by flying as much as possible

SYD-HKG plus lots of circling around HKG made what was originally a 9 hour flight into 10 hours.

Shanghai to Newark.

 

(PVG-EWR)

 

The flight time is approximately 14 hours. More time is spent in the plane seeing as the Pudong Airport in Shanghai is always congested, requiring about 30 minutes to an hour to get from gate closure to take-off.

Longest air flight: 14 some hours, Aeroflot SVO-SEA (cancelled that flight since) 

Longest itinerary: 19 hours, Delta SEA-JFK-SVO

Longest flight in a plane, at a time, 11 hours, Southwest SEA-ABQ-DAL-STL (School trip so you can expect it to be terribly long, especially since they only booked it 2 weeks prior ) (and that is excluding the SVO-SEA flight)

ORD-NRT for me, same type of aircraft.  Total time on the aircraft was 13 hours, with delays and other things as well.  They kept changing the gate too.

PEK-SIN The original 6h15m flight turned into a 8h flight when technical problems arouse on the ground in PEK.

United Airlines PEK-ORD, back when they scheduled 747-400's on the route. There was a 30 minute delay @ PEK b/c of security problems, so it was about  13 hours.

CNF-LIS (and return flight too) aboard TAP Portugal's A330-200. About 11-10 hours. But my longest journey was CNF-GRU-PTY-MCO, in January 2008, when there were no international flights to US. I took off from my city about 06:00PM(GMT-3), and then slept in São Paulo until the flight to PTY, wich was 04:00AM. I arrived there about 09:00AM(GMT-5) and then I don't know what time I arrived in Orlando, but I searched on internet and the flight is about three hours, so I imagine my journey was of 20 hours.
