KLAX to YSSY (and back eventually) which usually takes anywhere between 12.5 and 13.5 hours to complete. I get up at 6:30 in order to do it all in one day! and for people who have done the around the world trip, what is the longest LEG of the trip?
I've done LAX-SYD trip before, very long! It depends on what the longest leg of the RTW trip is. It varies because not everyone visits the same cities. But next time I attempt RTW I'll start in Quito, Equador (nearly on the equator) then choose the right heading that will take me on the same path as the equator. Should get around with two or three stops in the 747 :-]
