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.

Done a few multiples as a passenger in C152/C172 in the US - probably 8 or 9 was the most with several touch and goes at lesser airfields and longer stops for coffee/lunch/wee wees...

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

1984 Hong Kong-Singapore-Jakarta-Bali-Sydney-Melbourne. Overnight, same Qantas 747 throughout, top deck. Cockpit visit between Sydney & Melbourne.

Loved flying into Kia Tak a few times.

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

NorthernChappie 5th Mar 2019 20:11

ABZ HUY NWI and return.

Several times.

On one occasion for two sectors in an F27 jumpseat courtesy of a cousin. Nice.

I think I'm still winning. When do I get my prize? ;)

Ancient Mariner 6th Mar 2019 20:57

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.

1975 Sydney-Melbourne-Perth-Singapore same BOAC 747. Think it was around 14hrs all up.

Wycombe 9th Mar 2019 22:35

May'95 LGW-AUH-BKK-CGK-DPS all on Garuda, same 747-200 as far as CGK, then DC10 to DPS.
Left LGW around 7hrs late and then around 21hrs en-route!

This was start of RTW honeymoon - rest of route was CGK-DRW-CNS-AKL-NAN-HNL-LAX-LHR.

Hartington 10th Mar 2019 09:55

Mid/late 70s. LHR/AMS KLM connecting to Garuda AMS/FRA/ROM/BAH/BOM/BKK/JKT connecting to Garuda JKT/DPS making 8. If I'm to be honest that last flight might have taken it over 24 hours but I can't remember.

Hotel Tango 10th Mar 2019 13:51

Hartington, I honestly don't think that you would get all those sectors inside the 24hr window. ;)

ericsson16 10th Mar 2019 15:08

Okay I flew,Greenville–Spartanburg International Airport>Chicago O'Hare>New York Newark>Brussels International Airport>LHR>GLA

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.:

ok:

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".
