How long should the Guardians have felt like they've been travelling? Decide above, then explain or argue below. I'll give it a week.
Personally, I see the appeal of both a very short trip and a significantly longer one (where you guys have to crash, refuel, repair, and get in adventures with the locals along the way, trying to find your home dimension, maybe for a while you're unsure if this Marvel universe really is properly yours.)

I want Flypaper to have been away long enough to have become homesick. So at least weeks or months, but a couple years can work too.

I voted for the couple of years thing, but I think that as long as it serves the purpose of having alternate universe adventures to pull ideas from and it's dramatically shorter than the real time gone by it should work.

I'd say we should have been away for years in earth time a couple of months in real time.

The more I'm thinking about it, the more the inconsistencies between "real time" and "comic book time" (and the time you guys spent traveling non-relatively) should come into play here. So your trip took months from your perspective (with a few gaps for stops on alternate realities we could fill in on the way as necessary,) it seems to be years or longer, and details from your own histories might not gel with what seems to be accepted (maybe you guys remember Reed Richards and Ben Grimm serving in Korea instead of the Persian Gulf conflict, or Tony Stark being trapped in Vietnam instead of Afghanistan, for example). Reed Richards has theorized this kind of phenomena exists in the comics, of course he can't detect it because he exists entirely inside it. The longer you stay the more your own histories warp into shape, kind of like "The Bends" for time travelers.

I like it! That would allow for different takes depending on the character and contribute to the general idea of having to accept that even if the world they returned to is technically theirs, it can't be the same since stuff happened without them.
