Thread: What's the longest trip you've made?

Impressive! Mine is nowhere near that long, but considering the relatively short distance i was traveling it took forever.

DAL-HOU
HOU-ELP
ELP-LAX
LAX-OAK

No other way of nonrevving there as it was a long weekend.... 12 hours and about 10bags of peanuts later i finally arrived. Then the person i was meant to catch up with did a noshow

My top five are:

#1
RNO-LAS-SAN WN 737-700
SAN-JFK B6 A-320
JFK-LHR BA 747-400
LHR-BAH GF A-340

I combined 2 trips into 1 last month. I touched the pyramids in CAI, and I climbed a volcano in UIO.

The longest trip within the trip was CAI-UIO. Departed CAI at noon, got to JFK at about 1830, hustled to hop a 1910 ATL, slept in concourse B in ATL, hopped a quick r/t(800 to 1400) to my brothers place in GPT to get a shower, departed ATL for UIO about 1700 and got to UIO around 2300.

Something like 41 hours.

The whole trip was MDT-ATL-JFK-CAI-JFK-ATL-GPT-ATL-UIO-ATL-GPT-ATL-MDT. The second time in GPT I spent a whole day.

Tiring but fun. The pyramids were nice, but I liked Quito better.

Like Nick, my longest trip had more to do with time spent traveling, rather than the distance traveled.

MSY-LAX - The Perfect Storm (mechanical, heavy loads and thunderstroms in Dallas)

MSY - read a book, a paper, had a very expensive bowl of gumbo, ate half the box of my "take home" pralines and after 5 hours brought a voodoo doll.

DFW - (evening) shared the rest of my pralines with my fellow stranded travelers, set up a cot, watched some kids have the grandest time crawling over and under chairs, heard a guy launch into a tirade against AA, the government and nictotine patches and came to the conclusion that bargain barrel voodoo dolls are&#39;t worth the money.

DFW - (Morning & afternnon) spend my time, people watching, (played spot the non-rev), browsed the stores, traipsed from gate to gate, road the train and watched rampers chasing a dog with a truck.

DFW - (evening) flinally got a flight out, got (first ) slept all the way.

ONT - LAX fogged in, flight diverted to ONT. Took bus to LAX, now resigned to my fate, fully expect to have a flat on my way home.

Home - I didn&#39;t have a flat, but I think it says a lot about this trip, that not having a flat was cause for celebration.

Haha well what do they say, when it rains, it pours! So everyone was stuck overnight in DFW? Did they bring out portable cots for everyone... i&#39;ve always wanted to see that. You can buy a stranded traveller kit in Skymall now, comes with tent, mattress, pillow, light etc and folds down to nothing. What will they think of next

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.
