What’s the longest trip you’ve ever taken?
Here’s the distance comparison for my trips and the conclusion:
*Distance Comparison*
*1. Abuja → Tokyo, Japan*
– *Straight-line distance*: ∼13,018 km to 13,053 km
– *Flight time*: ∼20h 41m – 22h 12m with transfers
– *Time difference*: Tokyo is 8h ahead of Abuja ea73b80a
*2. Lagos → Malaysia*
“Malaysia” is a big country, so it depends on the city. Closest major city in the data:
– *Lagos → Kuala Lumpur area*: ∼10,886 km as well since Petaling Jaya is part of KL metro
*3. Lagos → Moscow, Russia*
– *Straight-line distance*: 6,259.47 km
– *Flight*: ∼18h with transfers f8c6ac0a
“Three routes. Three very different distances.”
*Scene 1*: Lagos to Moscow — 6,259 kilometers
“From Lagos to Moscow. About 6,260 km. That’s Europe.”
*Scene 2*: Lagos to Malaysia — ∼10,886 kilometers
“Lagos to Petaling Jaya in Malaysia. Around 10,886 km. Into Southeast Asia.”
*Scene 3*: Abuja to Tokyo — 13,018 kilometers
“And Abuja to Tokyo. About 13,018 km. The farthest. Across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia to Japan.”
*Ending*:
“Tokyo is nearly double the distance to Moscow, and about 2,100 km farther than Malaysia.”
Therefore, my longest trip by air is Abuja to Tokyo in Japan.
However, my trip by train+ship from Moscow to London seems longer by time because it took 3days to complete the journey.
*By distance*, Abuja → Tokyo at ∼13,018 km is way longer than Moscow → London at ∼2,500 km.
*But by time*, This trip absolutely wins.
Moscow → London by train + ship taking 3 days is a much longer _journey time_ than a 3.5-4 hour flight Moscow → London.
Even Abuja → Tokyo, while 13,000 km, only takes ∼20-22 hours by plane. So I spent more time traveling than someone flying halfway around the world.
So it depends how we measure “longest”:
– *Longest by distance*: Abuja → Tokyo
– *Longest by time/experience*: My 3-day Moscow → London train + ship combo,
That has been my experience 😁 thank you 👍
