15484.95km

Was surfing Google Earth, and playing around with the 'distance' function. In terms of distance from home, these are my figures:

1. Straight-line Distance: 15,484.95km, from my room in Baltimore to my room in Singapore (For those people I know in other cities, this figure is surpassed only by Tk: 16,009km (est., 1km).
2. Longitude difference: 179 deg 27' 25" (No one else in any other city can beat this. My direct distance line almost runs through the North Pole).
3. Time difference: 13 hours.
4. Time from home (from room to room)*: 3 hours + 26 hours 30 min + 1 hour = 30 hours 30 min (est., 30 minutes)
5. Travelling distance (from room to room)*: 17,912km (est., 1km)
6. Shortest travelling distance (from room to room)**: 15,627km (est., 1km)

*Using outbound flight path
**Using BWI - Newark - SIN flight path
