There are a number of carriers doing 13-hour direct flights from LAX. However, I don't think I would mind terribly a 10-hour layover somewhere- just to be able to get off the plane for a bit, decompress, shower, sleep in a real bed and then resume the journey, especially when coming back to New York. It's screwed up that I could theoretically depart from NZ on Christmas day and be back home in NYC on Christmas Eve.
