Traveling east often takes longer than heading west because of the Earth's rotation. When you travel east, you're moving against the Earth's rotation, so it can feel like you're covering more distance. This phenomenon, known as the Coriolis effect, affects flight times. The longest commercial flight, from Singapore to New York can take around 18 hours, covering about 9,000 miles. The fastest speed a commercial airliner has reached is approximately 700 mph. If you ever find yourself in Nepal, you'll notice their unique 45-minute time offset, making it 15 minutes ahead of Indian Standard Time. Travel is full of fascinating tidbits!
