30 Hours of Flight & Transit back to Kuala Lumpur on Virgin America & Malaysia Airlines

This is the longest journey for I ever had by air so far. From New York to Kuala Lumpur in two stops. My flight from New York to Los Angeles took 6 hours 40 minutes. I rest for 8 hours in Los Angeles before continuing my journey to Kuala Lumpur. The flight from Los Angeles to Kuala Lumpur took me almost 22 hours with 1 hour 30 minutes stop in Taipei. Fortunately when I booked my flight from New York to Los Angeles I allow 8 hours connecting time before my next flight.

My worry comes true when my original flight from New York to Los Angeles by Virgin America was delayed for 6 hours. On that day, I am quite lucky to arrive at JFK Airport early enough to catch an earlier flight. So, I am actually arrived Los Angeles 1 hour earlier. I not sure whether I should be happy about this but, by having last minute check-in, I don't need to pay USD25 to check in my bag. Being an airline person, I actually quite worried about missing airline connection. If I were to miss my Los Angeles to Kuala Lumpur flight, I will have to wait two more days before the next flight. Malaysia Airlines only flies there 3 times weekly. It quite boring to stay two more days in Los Angeles :-P
