What's the longest time you've sat in a car or ridden in a plane etc? I drove from Virginia to Disney World (Florida) in about 12 hours. That was a really long drive. I flew from Virginia to the Philippines and that was about a whole day (24 hrs) on 3 different airplanes!

I flew from Taiwan to South Africa for a total of 16 hrs because there was no direct flight...had to fly to Hong Kong first. That's about the same time when I flew from LA to Korea to Philippines. I was pretty beat.

The longest I have sat in a plane is 14 hours, from Singapore to London and from London to Hong Kong. I have flown from London to Los Angeles and that is a flight of 12 hours. In January I will be sitting in a plane seat for 12 hours on a flight from London to Cape Town. The longest train ride I have been on is Brisbane to Cairns. I haven't been on a bus or a ferry for longer than 12 hours. I have done the trip from Brisbane to Cairns in a car as a passenger and it was quicker than the train.

Hello vanonas! The longest time I have travelled is 7 hours sitting on the bus. It's from Davao city to Surigao del Sur. I really hate it because I have to sit for 7 hours and there are some roads that are very rocky.

My longest travel time is 12 hours on the train, crowded and uncomfortable. But I think I am still lucky, you know why? Last spring festival my cousin stuck in the freeway on her way to hometown for totally 24 hours due to big snow without move even one little step. One disaster after another is they don't have enough food, which is better than insufficient fuel I think personlly. Fuel can make heater on or else it is freezing in the car. It is terrible trip anyway she said to me.

My sister and I did a 14 hour drive from Durango Co to Arlington Texas - we were being chased by a snow storm, it was just arriving in Durango when we left and it made it to Wichita Falls about the time we made it to Arlington. The next day I drove on to Houston and the front never made it there - kind of bad because all the clothes in my suitcase were for Durango and I had to borrow clothes to visit my friends in Houston!

Hi Vanonas, the longest time I have traveled was around 21 hours, with one transit point in Taipei (Taiwan). I was traveling to Los Angeles; and it was a really long flight - I slept most of the time though.

Air New Zealand - There's really no better way to  - By far, Air New Zealand is the best international airline I have been on.
Hi Vanonas, The longest trip I took was either flying from Los Angeles to Frankfurt, Germany or Frankfurt Germany to Los Angeles....whichever one gains time instead of losing it. I made the flight a few times. Once I took a Greyhound bus from South Carolina to Downtown Los Angeles...we hit all of the Southern states and I think that took about a week. Happy MyLotting!

My longest time is when I travel from my country to Canada. It took around 20 hours flight while changing 4 different planes, 5 hours waiting before boarding to next plane. And then I must drive 5 hours before arrive to my final destination. Total 30 hours of journey, and it was very exhausting. BR

The longest individual flight was 15 hrs and was from LAX to Australia. The longest spent in airports/airplanes without fresh air is 35 hrs (4 planes, long layovers). I think I would have enjoyed it more if I would have known people sitting around me and if I could've slept more than 4 hours but it was worth it.

We drove from Ohio to South Carolina. Now that may not seem like a really long drive but it is when you have a 5 year old (at the time) and a 2 year old (at the time) in the backseat...and even if you drive at night they still do not want to sleep! lol Longest drive of my life!
