20 hours on a flight is a really long time and can possible have some medical consequences as well as the amount of jet lag afterwards. In July I flew from LAX to LHR which was a 10 flight and I found it unbearable, my legs started to ache and i was seriously bored.
My two question to you guys is:
How many hours would you guys be able to cope on a flight?
And on a Long haul flight, when about during the flight is it where you have reached your limit and just want to be back on the ground?
I haven’t flown in business or first before so I dont have personal experience but i would expect that it is somewhat better than economy. As you are able to move about and have a more space.
If I was in economy my limit would probably like 7-9 hours, but if I was in business or first, I could go maybe 12-15 hours max. I dont think I can be on a plane for 19-20 hours
Based on my experience with the 10 hour flight, 6 hours in i wanted to get off. I was really bored, having watched a couple of movies as well having an ache in leg. I was also tired but was having problems trying to sleep. I sat there for the next 4 hours with my head on the traytable listening to music.
Having said that, I’m not one who likes ultra long haul flights hence why i always choose stop over flights.
The longest flight I’ve ever been on was LAX-ATL on a delta 767. It was like 4 hours 30 minutes and i was perfectly fine. I could probably go for 16 hours before getting bored.
Flying first class, will make you feel at home, you have everything you want. An airplane, a nice comfortable seat, decent food and really nice flight attendants who spoil you. I would live on a plane if I was in first class all the time😂
Depends on if the entertainment is good and what class I’m in. If entertainment is good and I’m in exonomy, I could go 15 hours. If it’s bad, maybe 10. In business, I could go probably 20
If I was sitting in any economy class cabin, then I can probably go for six-seven hours (6-7h) or more if there is excellent In-Flight entertainment services. Business class, definitely ten hours (10h) or more if there is again excellent In-Flight entertainment services and if it’s first class I don’t mind living on the plane :/. But it overall depends on the type of airline which mostly determines if the estimates are applicable or changed.
