Long haul ops? 8-10 hr flight. Usually leave 6-8 PM for Europe or 10-12 PM for S.A.
Land. Customs ( normally quick and painless ). Usually 30-60 minute bus to downtown. 24-36 hrs off. Fly back.
Flight back - arrive in the US 1-5 PM after 8-11 hr flight if Europe layover.
S.A. typically 8-11 hrs and usually land 0400-0600.
8 hrs + gets a relief pilot. Typically 1+45 to 2:30 break enroute (depends on flight duration)
Some guys love the long haul life and some guys hate it.
