single flight longest is probably Hong Kong to Toronto, ~16 hours or sth like that...
longest itinerary is from Paris -> Frankfurt -> Washington IAD -> San Francisco with 4 hours layover each in Frankfurt and IAD... door-to-door close to 30 hours I think

Thats bs. LAX to Beijing is NOT 16 hours. Look at a globe, it can't be 16 hours. Why do you think China Eastern uses MD-11s to fly you to from LAX to Beijing? It doesnt even take a full 16 to Guangzhou because they fly you in 777s. Same with Hong Kong. It's around 15. Bejing is not even as far as Taipei.

Maybe they had load control in Beijing or something. One time they held us outside of Sydney for nearly an hour because planes weren't allowed to land before 6AM (or whatever time it was.)

 
longest single stint was LHR to Jamaca. That was back in the day on a 727, crappy airline, single isle. Had to go all the way around greenland, they said it was because as they were a new airline they had to stay within 30mins of land at all times. Sucked badly.
 
Without stop overs? 13hrs non-stop Bombay, India to Durban, South Africa.

Including stop overs? I think 20hrs, Toronto to Bombay. And also Toronto to Lagos, Nigeria although that might be a bit shorter.

6.5hrs and I was going stir crazy!

Bullsh!t. Unless you were on a goddamn prop-plane with a drunk pilot I don't see how. That flight isn't 6.5 hours unless a fvcking nutjob starts acting up back in coach.
