The batteries in my PSP definitely wouldn't make it.The Monitorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601073119279114352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17748515.post-64941140856315462522007-03-21T13:21:00.000-05:002007-03-21T13:21:00.000-05:00Longest commercial non-stop is New York - Johannes...Longest commercial non-stop is <A HREF="http://www.southafrica.to/transport/Airlines/to-South-Africa/flights-to-Johannesburg/cheap-flights-from-New-York-to-Johannesburg.php5" REL="nofollow">New York - Johannesburg flight</A>.Yzerfonteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865469132660903796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17748515.post-27025990635341940782007-03-21T12:35:00.000-05:002007-03-21T12:35:00.000-05:00There were 3 options from IAD to Dhaka leaving tha...There were 3 options from IAD to Dhaka leaving that date, and I just picked the longest total time.
