Do I get the long haul king award now? I’m currently landing in Tokyo after flying from cph. The routes for this trip is Copenhagen to Tokyo, Tokyo to Dulles, Dulles to Johannesburg, Johannesburg to São Paulo, São Paulo to Newark, Newark to Stockholm. Stockholm to Newark. Have you done longer trips than this?
I believe that the nonstop flight record is 158 hours by @AndrewWu
Last I heard, it still holds. I think there have been a couple instances of people going for longer sessions than that (with stops) but I can’t confirm.
No way the 158 hours was nonstop
It indeed was nonstop.
What aircraft?
I used the A380.
So aerial refueling must work with the A380 apperantly?
Not the last time checked. One tank of gas.
How could you possibly do that.
I fueled it up and then flew for 158 hours.
I’m just confused 💀
Understandable lol. It wasn’t any sort of “normal” flight, essentially a publicity stunt.
But how could an A380 possibly fly that long?
Do I maybe want to go for 160 hours? Yes!
You can try if you want. The documentation is posted on my profile, use that as a starting point.
Ive done:
SFO-HKG-JFK-AKL-DXB-AKL-DOH-AKL-JFK-NBO-ADD-CAN-AMS-ATH-BOS-DUB-IST-MRU-MAD.
all this in the past week.
How did you fit almost 200 hours of flying + 18 ground operations into a week? Multiple devices?
I did back to back flights on one device.
Finished last night at 10pm greece.
Plus it isnt exactly 200 hours but closer to 150-160
Bro is grinding. Don’t you have school or are you still on your summer holiday?
@AndrewWu I feel like at this point you could abuse a small body aircraft and still beat the A380 record you set.
