South African JNB-JFK with a fuel stopover in the Cape Verde Islands

Time-wise, that is probably true, if you count the continuous time. It took about 17+ hours including the fuel stopover in Cape Verde. Passengers were permitted to get off the plane, but I did not. The jet streams make this flight take longer than the return trip and the return trip does not require the fuel stopover.
