46+ Hours of Flying!


Tamara has recommenced "comfortable" clothing for our journey. What exactly does 46+ hours of flying consist of?

Here is the itenary breakdown:

PDX to Washington DC Dulles Intl: 7:35a - 3:33p - 4:58 hours

Dulles to Johannesburg: 5:20pm - 3:45pm - 15:25 hours

Johannesburg to Durban: 5:20pm - 6:30pm - 1:10 hours

We will re-trace our steps for the return home however the total flying time does increase.

Durban to Johannesburg stays the same 1:10 but the Johannesburg to Washington DC flight duration increases to 18:45 hours and the Dulles to Portland Duration is 5:54 hours.

Thanks again and look for more updates!
