Narrative:

We were scheduled to work flight xx from ZZZ to ZZZ1 then layover for over 28 hours. We were drafted to work flight xy directly back from ZZZ1 to ZZZ2 as soon as we were able to deplane our passenger. We had absolutely no rest break at any time during the 11 hours 12 minutes of actual flight time or the 13 hours 22 minutes of duty time as we immediately began boarding the new flight. Our total flight time for that duty day went from scheduled 606 to 1112. All three of us were unprepared to work so long. We had not taken naps or slept in late. If we had an emergency situation we would not have been at out best. I believe it was an unsafe situation and one that could have been prevented.supplemental information from acn 763301: not having planned for this kind of 'turn' (getting proper rest before a trip and also expecting to go on a layover) resulted in exhaustion and not feeling that I would be able to execute my safety responsibilities clear headed if necessary. With the hours involved here and over 11 hours of flight time without a moment's rest seemed to surpass safety at all costs.callback conversation with reporter acn 763300 revealed the following information: the reporter stated that the second flight to which she was assigned had diverted earlier and when it finally reached its destination 3 of the 5 flight attendants were illegal to proceed on the return flight. Since the reporter's crew was legal the air carrier ordered 3 of them to join the other crew on its trip. The reporter was not prepared for such a long duty day: did not rest prior to check in; was not given a rest period on the first flight; and would not be given a rest on the next flight. Both aircraft in this event were full B757-200's.
