Generally, it's one take-off, and one landing...

Having lived overseas, for me a non-stop flight is a pretty arduous 8 to 13 hour affair involving not sleeping, changing upwards of 10 time zones at a pop.

The only true non-stop flight I had was an out-and-back that last 26 hours a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Just because we could.

Ugh.

At least we began and ended in the same time zone...
