How many flight sectors have you flown in one day as a passenger.
My record is 6, kirkwall-Westray-Papa Westray-North Ronsldsay-kirkwall-Edinbugh-Birmingham. I also managed 5 sectors in France on Caravelle 12, Dassault Mercure, A300B2 and 737-200QC aircraft.

I have to go back to September 1981 when I flew 7 sectors in a day. They were: ABZ-EDI-LBA-DUB-LBA-AMS-EIN-MST. All sectors were flown on one type, the Fokker F-27. Five with Air-UK and two with NLM CityHopper.
LGW-BWI-MCI-OAK-LAX-HNL-KOA
CDG-FRA-SXM-SJU-BGI
Both of these marathons were the result of getting 'bargain' priced tickets and being too excited by the savings until the true cost became all too clear! The 7 sector one wasn't evident on the ticket, only showing the 3 flight numbers, that was a lesson learnt.

end of March 1980 coming home to UK after a months leave (I worked for BMA on our 707's at KHI leased to PIA for a bit then took my leave, ended up in the exotic Maldives)
Male-CMB UL 737-200 Air Lanka just been formed (late afternoon) got F U/G
CMB-KHI PIA DC-8-53 leased from Cargolux LX-IDB (landed middle of the night)
KHI-DXB-FCO-FRA-ORY-LHR PIA 747-200 (ex TAP bird) Got F U/G at DXB
(We left KHI at 07.30 and got to London early evening, so almost 24 hours travelling)
(came down from KHI to CMB on a PIA 720B)
All on free tickets

Gatwick - Guernsey for a meeting in St Peter Port
Guernsey - Jersey for a meeting in St Helier
Jersey - Gatwick - Dublin for more meetings there
Only 4 short sectors but a full on day of work mixed in with several trips through security. Granted, this was pre 9/11so much easier

1969; Oslo, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Zurich, Lisboa, Caracas, couple of Carribean Islands (can't remember which ones), then finally Curacao.
OK, so not 24 hrs, around 36 if memory serves. Never had so many meals in such a short time.

Perth, Morawa, Yalgoo, Mt. Magnet, Cue, Meekatharra, Wiluna, Sandstone, Mt. Magnet, Yalgoo, Morawa, Perth.
Very junior F/O, usually considered a passenger???, 3 crew, often left one engine running, always in summer for first and last light at Morawa.
Refuel and re-oil at Meekatharra, with the "nicer" Captains was a great way to learn.:

Once flying ATL-ABE-AVP the pilot said: "We are departing Atlanta for Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton and Wilkes Barre-Scranton-Avoca. Believe it or not that is only one stop".
