So the sun stays in exactly the same place in the sky as you travel

Actually, you can do this anyplace by flying west. At the equator you would have to travel at 330 miles per hour. But if you were 1 foot from the North or South pole you would only have to go 1.5 INCHES per hour.

I regularly fly from Beijing to New York. Flying east in winter is pretty close to that - 13 1/2 hour flight, 13 hour time difference. Only flying east is going against the sun, so it moves twice as fast. Also the flight goes above the arctic circle so it is dark for most of the time. I would guess New York to Japan, or maybe Chicago to Japan, being a little shorter, would be close to what you want.
But I have had 30 hours of daylight in summer, flying to Beijing.

If you take a 12 hr. flight west, it would be the same time as when you left.
