Longest Time Spent Travelling (1 Viewer)

[White Rabbit]

Sydney to LAX - 14 hrs. I agree, LAX/Tom Bradley is the most boring and poorly run airport I've ever visited. Abosolutley terrible organisation, very little facilities, people are so rude! I was in for the LATE, QUITE flight on QF108, which leaves at midnight, and the place was packed, there were people everywhere, lines out of the terminal onto the road. I never want to go back to America.

Europe is usually ~25 hours from Sydney isnt it? I really want to go to Ireland, but I'll stay for a long time.

I use to do Sydney - Woodonga, Sydney - Moruya, Sydney - Dubbo, Sydney - Warren etc a bit, Dubbo is ~5 1/2 hours, Moruya was ~6.5hrs, Warren was about 7 or 8, Woodonga was about 8 or so too.

You'll be happier now. QF flights to Sydney are now run out of T4, which is a much more pleasant terminal. TBIT is a shithole. I still remember having to run barefoot to my gate because of all the security delays.

23 hours of hell, pure hell, and to top it off, some dickwad was snoring the whole way. Dunno what drugs he was on, but next time I'll have what he's having
