On yeah - everybody was stuck. But trust me Nick, you don&#39;t want to see the cots come out, because when you see the cots, it means there are hundreds, maybe thousands, of stranded revenue passengers, and you my friend, are still flying non-rev. [/b]

Haha you make a fair point. What is it they say, if you are going through hell, you must be going through DFW? That&#39;s when you high-tail it to DAL the next morning and try and get on the airline that doesn&#39;t hub Not that i&#39;m biased or anything.... haha

Still not very competitive with some of you crazy folks, but then again, having the kids along adds some excitement to the trip! (And I can add that last, upcoming trip to the Longest Trip with the mother-in-law category, too )[/b]

Those are some well travelled kids! I found it hard enough coordinating my mother, let alone 2 children! You certainly take the cake in this regard...

WITH KIDS...longest trips have been:

(1 yr old and 5 yr old) DFW-ORD-PVG (1st international trip and my 5 yr old asked the FA to make her some chicken nuggets for dinner!)

(same 1 yr old and 5 year old, 1 month later) DFW-LGW xfer to LHR-Malaga
and return Malaga-MAD-CDG (stopover to visit friends in Paris) - DFW

Upcoming trip (leaving Friday, yeah) with now 2 yr old and 6 yr old,

DFW-LGA xfer to JFK (6 1/2 hours in NY!), JFK-MXP, drive 3 1/2 hours to NCE

(And I can add that last, upcoming trip to the Longest Trip with the mother-in-law category, too )

P.S. Adding - My husband and I had to split up on a return last summer from MSP to DFW. My 6 yr old and I spent the night in MSP and flew to DFW the next morning; but my husband and 2 yr old ended up flying MSP-ORD-waited several hours and eventually got onto a much delayed AUS flight; arrived about 2 AM, slept at airport 3 hours and took 6 AM flight from AUS to DFW - and he went to work that day! I think he wins for most difficult trip.[/b]

Ok Sydnerd, *doffs hat* you win.

LONGEST JUMP SEAT. GUM-FUK 4hrs, GUM-TAIWAN-HKG 5hrs, IAH-SEATAC-ANC 4+4hrs, NRT-GUM 4hrs. This on B757&#39;s, DC-10, B-737&#39;s.[/b]

Was this all one trip?
Longest I did (and first) was HKG-ADL... 9hrs in the jumpseat of a A330-300... i&#39;d like to say never again but it&#39;s a possibility

I also wish to add that my intentions of posting my "LONG HAULS" were not meant to IMPRESS anyone. I posted it more as an "OUCH".[/b]

Palms, no need, we know all about your intentions.
