Since I'm quite free and curious, I actually made a research on the extremely long journey that I'll have starting this Wednesday, 25th August. The research is about where and when I'll be throughout the journey across the oceans from Kuala Lumpur to Rochester, New York.
Since JPA asked the scholars to be there by 11 a.m., so I guess I'll leave the house at around 9.30 a.m. like that. Basically, these are my research findings. hehe...(feels like doing a research for an assignment...)
1) Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
- Malaysia Airlines
- depart at 3.15 p.m. (Malaysia time) on Aug 25
- transit at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE)
- expected to arrive at 6.45 p.m. (California time) on Aug 25 = 9.45 a.m. (Malaysia time) on Aug 26
- KUL to LAX takes about 18 hours 30 minutes
 |
KUL - TPE (3225.20 km) about 4 hrs 35 mins |
 |
| TPE - LAX (10900.77 km) about 13 hrs 55 mins including transit |
2) Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Detroit Metro Airport (DTW)
- wait for 4 hours 10 minutes for the next flight
- Delta Airlines
- depart at 10.55 p.m. (California time) on Aug 25 = 1.55 p.m. (Malaysia time) on Aug 26
- expected to arrive at 6.16 a.m. (Detroit time) on Aug 26 = 6.16 p.m. (Malaysia time) on Aug 26
- LAX to DTW takes about 4 hours 21 minutes
 |
| LAX - DTW (3183.01 km) about 4 hrs 21 mins |
3) Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) to Greater Rochester International Airport (ROC)
- wait for 1 hour 54 minutes for the next flight
- Delta Airlines
- depart at 8.10 a.m. (Michigan time) on Aug 26 = 8.10 p.m. (Malaysia time) on Aug 26
- expected to arrive at 9.35 a.m. (Rochester time) on Aug 26 = 9.35 p.m. (Malaysia time) on Aug 26
- DTW to ROC takes about 1 hour 25 minutes |
| DTW - ROC (452.36 km) about 1 hr 25 min |
In conclusion, there are a total of 5 airports and 3 flights.
Total distance = 17761.34 km
Total time = 29 hours 20 minutes
 |
A = KUL; B = TPE; C = LAX; D = DTW; E = ROC |
depart from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Aug 25 at 3.15 p.m.,
arrive at final destination - Rochester, NY on Aug 26 at 9.35 p.m. (Malaysia time)
Hopefully, we'll have a safe journey. What's more, it's during fasting month. May Allah bless us with His bountiful blessings in the month of Ramadan. Amin...
