I went from Houston to Panama City on a 757-200. Nothing really exciting happened.

Well.. I use Google Earth FS at the moment so I don't ever run out of fuel.
I took a Cirrus SR22 from L'Espérance airport (GEC/TFFG) on the same island as SXM, to Grenada (GND/TGPY). It was about two hours if I remember correctly. Luckily I had a bunch of jelly beans to last me the voyage.

Dubai to Kuala Lumpur, 7 hours with a 773. I carried 70% fuel but I think i wasted too much trying to get to mach 0.84 (no idea how) and did an auto refuel. It was sensational watching the sun rise and seeing some constellation

That's what lunch, dinner, gaming, and minigolf breaks are for

The time goes by pretty quickly that way

That's what LNAV and VNAV are for

They're quite reliable I just have to come back and feed the pax every 3-4 hours (can't the FAs take care of the feeding/watering/movie schedule )

[Conor]

LNAV and VNAV?

[9M-TKS]

But if you leave your aircraft for a while won't ATC disconnect you?

LNAV and VNAV?

Autopilot modes directed by the FMC.

I don't fly online. Radar Contact allows you to hand off radio communications to your "copilot" so you don't have to deal with the pesky "contact XXX center at 123.45" every 20 minutes
