9 years ago, I left to AMS (by train) at 5pm on a TUE to catch the direct flight to TLV (which is supposed to take some 4 hours).

I arrived on THU, 5:15 in Jerusalem (1 hour drive from TLV).

That amounts to 36 hours and 15 minutes.

That was with Transavia

GRU-DFW-LGA-JFK-NRT-LAX-MIA-GRU
3 continents. 6 days of travel from GRU (Sao Paulo, Brazil) to NRT (Tokyo) and 4 days of travel to get back.
That was one of my craziest flying stories, ask me about it another time...

Brussels to Deep into Turkey by train, crossing Belgium, france, and Switzerland, and doing basically most big cities from Slovenia, Italy (+free boat), greece and turkey, ending with a one way Istanbul - Tel Aviv in economy, with costed at the time 88,000,000 Turkish lira (the flight took 1:10 mins).
The whole story took 27.5 days, but Im not sure if its fair to calculate days when I was just sightseeing.
