SeymorScagneti 1,274 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 What's your longest non-stop flight, and what's the longest you've driven in a car non-stop. Mine.. Fight: Seattle, Washington to Seoul, South Korea...11 hours Drive: San Antonio, Texas to Ventura, California...21 hours 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronin 596 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Flight: Brussels - Sydney. Combination of three flights out of which 2 (London - Bangkok + Bangkok - Sydney) were around 10-11 hours. Total flight time was 23 hours. Also did Brussels - Singapore a few times. That took around 12-13 hours if I recall well. Drive: dunno really. From home to the tip of Scotland, the middle of Norway, Corsica, Greece ... all rather long drives. The Greece one was the most intense as I drove it in one go. Think it took about 24 hours with some stops in between. Did have a buddy and gallons of Red Bull with me though to keep me awake. Once also did a 7 hour trip without ever getting out of the car (Basle - home) which was around 650 km and on top of that I got stuck in a snowstorm for about 1 hour near the German-Dutch border. Wouldn't do anything stupid like that anymore now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmurko 7,622 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Flight? Venice-Gatwick-bus ride to Heathrow-JFK. It also included a 3h drive to Venice first. All I remember is I got up early morning GMT, it was one of the hottest days (even in London it was 30+) and I didnt go to bed until 3 AM EST next day (drunk, we went straight to bar after checking into the hotel). So the whole day lasted around 26h for me. Drives? Ljubljana-Edinburgh (with a ferry ride and 1h nap at Maidstone services in between), it was somewhere around 30h (+). Longest one was from Ljubljana to Tromso, but we spent a night in Germany in a motel, so it was 8h + 24h. 4 Quote S U N D A Y R A C I N G L E A G U E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCore89 7,402 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Flight: none. Drive: Swansea to Bournemouth, Bournemouth to Birmingham, Birmingham to Swansea (in the same night, technically it's not non-stop). It was slightly below 500 miles all round. We did this in the summer of 2012. Bournemouth for my friends DJ booking to start at 9:45PM, left there around 11PM and then we were in Birmingham by 2AM to catch the last 4 hours of Uproar... Good times! No... we didn't break any speed limits . Edited January 28, 2015 by DavidCore89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibsmokin 93 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Flight- not worth mentioning. Will say though the first four times I flew I didn't land in a plane.

ronin 596 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Longest bus trip was in Australia, about 16 hours with only some short stops in between. The view was worth it though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furdog 525 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 My longest trips have all been in the U.S. Longest car ride was from southern Wisconsin to northern Minnesota at around 9 hours. I did take a bus from Minnesota to Florida that took over 30 hours, though. Never again. Longest flight may be from Minneapolis Minnesota to Los Angeles California. Probably just under 4 hours, maybe? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeymorScagneti 1,274 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Being in a bus that long is just awful. Hope those trips were worth it for you bus riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beez 5,091 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Longest ride was Butte, Montana to Portland ,Oregon by way of Blaine, Washington on a Honda Goldwing. That was 995 miles in less than 24 hours. I was working for Cycle World magazine at the time and the new Goldwing had just come out. We need to do something big because all the motorcycle magazines would be doing stories on it and we wanted ours to be something special. The plan was to have staff members hand the bike off to each other and hit the 4 corners of the United States, my corner was the northwest at Blaine, WA. The other corners are San Diego, Key West and Bangor, Maine. Here's my part of the story. Why? WHY!!? Didn't I ride 5 more miles? Then it would have been 1000 and I would have qualified for a Saddle Sore 1000 from the Iron Butt Riding Association. I could have run laps around the hotel or something. I regret that to this day but sometimes I tell people it was 1000 miles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
