For many, flying is not very pleasant and even less comfortable. But for aircraft enthusiasts, flying means "home". Among them I find myself, and the hours spent on the plane are pleasant and relaxing. If I could, I'd like to spend as many hours flying. We also made a ranking of the longest flights in the world, when it comes to time.

If we look at the time zone, here are two interesting situations. If you are flying from Sydney to Dallas, you will arrive at your destination two hours earlier than the time you took off the same day. If you fly from Dallas to Sydney, you will arrive at your destination after 34 hours.
