Flew to New York and back in 24 hours to sign the lease on an apartment. I was moving there for work.
It had an amazing view of the East River and I didn’t want anyone else having it!

Venice for the day...
Done it myself early flight to Geneva mini bus to megeve...skiing by 11, ski till 5 back to Geneva 7 for 8.30 flight to gatwick land 9 ish with extra hour home soon after 10pm.
Loyalty.
I flew from Bergen to gatwick for my grandads funeral in Brighton and flew back the same day. Very odd experience waking up in your own bed, flying to a different country to see the whole family in an emotional situation, then flying home and getting into your own bed again.

I am in Moscow at the moment but am considering a day trip back to the UK to visit Salisbury. According to 2 fellas I have met over here the 123 metre cathedral spire is well worth a visit!

Silly old bat
I was there for that game, but I've also done the Carlisle trip.
Yes, driven through the Tunnel to Bruges for the day a couple of times.

Back in '80 Mrs SS worked for an air chartering company in HH and the deal was any unsold seats could be had free to staff. Well, the Ibiza flight departed Gatwick about 10am Sunday mornings with a 1-hour turnaround return - we left home at 8am and were back by 3pm.
Not in 24 hours, but a Guy I worked with met up with a girl in Chicago while he was out there on business, she was an Australian nanny. He thought it would be nice for her to come visit him in the UK for the weekend so he bought her a return ticket Chicago-Gatwick but it went very wrong for her because her US visa had less than 6 months on it - this was her trip.
Friday: Chicago > Gatwick
Sunday: Gatwick > Chicago [immigration refused entry]
Monday AM: Chicago > Gatwick [sent back from where she'd arrived from]
Monday PM: Gatwick > Melbourne [repatriated to homeland]
Her flat in Chicago, car, furniture etc etc were all disposed of ......
Moral of story, understand visa entry laws wherever you go [and want to return to]

WC QF 2002 v Brazil. Between planes, trains and automobiles I was 63 hours out of the house and 56 of those were travelling or waiting to travel. Including flight changes and bullet trains, a 13,000 mile day trip in all but duration. Shame about the result, mind.

A mate of mine (who is an Albion STH but as far as I am aware doesn't post on here) "popped" home to watch the Aussie Rules grand final in Melbourne last year. As in was picked up from the airport, straight to the game, and then more or less back to the airport and back to the UK that evening.
I've heard of actors who do this every two days so they can do Broadway and a movie in Hollywood at the same time.

Have done a day trip to Iceland (country not supermarket) but think the furthest I've done is squeezing two interviews into a day flying Gatwick to Oslo... interview someone there... Oslo to Copenhagen... second candidate interviewed... Copenhagen back to Gatwick. Add in the travel between airports and offices and Brighton/Gatwick and that was a long day.
Drove to Brussels and back in a day to collect a car on a trailer. Quite a long day, although have driven 775miles In a day before.
Shoreham to Invergordon and back for a site meeting/survey, drive/fly/drive each way
Ploiesti Romania to Frankfurt and back to collect a few control panel parts, 2 business class flights and taxi service wasn't the hardest days work I've ever done.
