That's about what I did. Seoul, Korea to Chicago, O'Hare then to (the wrong) airport in Fort Leonard Wood with Basic Training the next day. Grooooooggggyyy...
Interestingly enough, I was coming back from my tour of duty in japan for some leave time before my next duty station. The pressure during that 11 hour flight was some of the worst I felt.
-Nope you cheated! Chicago to Hong Kong is a tad over 15 hour flight.
-Also I think the "yeah 18 hours" and then buried in there is "oh yeah, I changed planes...". Nope doesn't qualify. If that was so I could record 48 hour flights with delays and such.
You thought I was serious about "winning"? Lol, ok. Yeah, as I said, there was a layover in Taipei so no, the flight wasn't 18 hours.
No offense intended to the OP, but am I the only one that finds these kinds of 'just enter your own data and no food for discussion' threads boring. The only ones who even bother posting are ones who think they might 'win'. (and complainers like me :-) -- I know if you don't like, why click)
Haha, my longest flight was from Cincinnati to San Francisco. I think it was about 5 hours. I definitely don't win.

OK how about the shortest commercial jet flight? I once flew from SD to LA and it took 30 minutes. I've taken commuter connections, island hoppers and private plane rides that were a little shorter, but if we're talking A to B travel in a full size jetliner, SD to LA wins.
Sez the guy that wrote "but am I the only one that finds these kinds of 'just enter your own data and no food for discussion' threads boring. The only ones who even bother posting are ones who think they might 'win'."
FYI - Lighten up Francis.
I was on Pan Am/Aeroflot's inaugural Moscow-New York direct flight back in 1988. That was about 15 hours. Back when they allowed smoking on planes. Pretty dreadful. But I did get a little bronze sculpture as a souvenir!
Since then I've done a lot more traveling, and I think the longest flights were Boston-Tokyo (around 13 hours) and London-Cape Town (about 11.5 hours). The worst, though, was the first time I flew Boston-Dallas-Tokyo-Bangkok with really tight connections. The seven hour Tokyo-Bangkok segment seemed like the longest flight of my life!
