For the 9-13 day trips on the 7ER, they start from the west coast and go to NRT, then intra-asia flying, with 22-50 hour layovers. After NRT it's one leg days between HNL/KIX/MNL/NGO/FUK/SIN/etc... I think as we draw down some of this intra-asia flying, these ultra-long trips will go away.

Up until a few years ago (before my time) we had lots of 12 day trips on the 330 and it seems that lots of the guys loved them. One commute and then you're home for 18-36 days. These we're mostly trips between Europe and the U.S....as well as some BOM. Now a vast majority of our trips are 6 days or less. I'm worn out after a 6 day, so I can't even imagine a 12 day. I usually stick to 3-4 day trips.
