Around 45 hours. It was a trip coming back from Paris, I arrived around the middle of the night in America, and I had to take a bus from the station a few hours later (first one in the morning, around 4:30 AM), for which I had to walk from the airport : no public transit at such early time, and I didn't want to take a cab (the station was closed anyway, I'd rather walk than wait for 2 hours). It was a small town airport, only about 4 or 5 km (about 3 miles) between the two. Then I arrived around 7 AM, had breakfast with my family before going back home on another 3 hours car ride with my parents. I spent the whole day awake and went to the movies that night with some friends. Needless to say I had some trouble keeping up with the movie's plot. Good thing I had read the book first. ;-)
That's the cost of cheap flight tickets (about USD 250 for a return flight to Paris)!
