If he had multiple layovers he could hit 30 hours flight time. However you’re right, a nonstop flight from NYC to Saigon is only like 20 hours or so.

    Amsterdam - Rome - Perth is something like 17 hours on the long part, but the one time I did it I spent 11 hours on the Amsterdam - Rome part due to engine trouble.

    and that's still not 30

    I flew NYC to Seoul a few times (also the reverse flight) and that one is about the same flight time. Never again will I willingly fly to the other side of the planet. Not without month long stops between each 3000 miles or so.

    See, your problem is not having a bunch of someone else's money to burn so that you can fly first class. Economy for 20 hours is agony thanks to the cramped seating.

    Probably wouldn't be so bad if we could bring back the 747 design that had a passenger lounge in the upper level.
