Dublin - Carcassone 2-3hrs from what I remember

[ZA TP Fan]

Dubai - Christchurch, on Emirates, via Thailand and Sydney - don't know if they still fly that route. Nice 10 config coach 777 flight for a flight, pretty unconfortable for the 12 hour portion of the flight. 

And, next year, since LH haven't yet launched Panama City,  I'll be going on the world's longest flight - Dubai - Panama City in Business Class no less, 17h25mins. You'll have to pay me to fly in that Emirates 777 economy layout!!! OSL-Dubai-Panama City, is a very efficient routing, but cheaper in Business Class than on any of the US Majors.

Emirates still flies DXB-CHC via BKK and SYD. Quite a unique route. Oh please do a Flight Trip Report on that Emirates Panama flight. Would love to see it!

I didn't beat my record, but my recent trip on Air France 259 from Singapore to Paris tied my record at 13 hours and 30 minutes, so thought it was worth a mention

I sure will, probably on FT. Yeah, that route gives a new meaning to fifth freedom - but, it's nice to get off and stretch your legs.
