Not total, I mean the longest you have ever been actually in flight.

Nonstop Tel Avi to Los Angeles.

Don't remember duration, think maybe it was 22 hrs.

Hell for a semi-claustrophobic fresh air freak like me.

Either NYC to Rome or Chicago to Maui. I think they were both about 9 hours.

LAX to Rio . . . probably 12 or 13 hours.

The WORST delay was in a holding pattern over JFK for almost 4 hours [while reading Alex Hailey's Airport] while circling lower and lower seeing the same scenery over and over and over . . . it made a flight from London over 10 hours.

My worst flight was one that nearly crashed. . . . from Paris to Munich on a single jet engine [the other failed just after takeoff] flying incredibly low with the flight crew looking as worried as they get . . . that SEEMED the longest. :p
