  • When traveling, some flights may seem like they never end! And with the incredible range of today's aircraft, some journeys can have mind-boggling flight times. But beyond the fact that even regional flights can seem long and the average traveler may be counting the minutes wishing for arrival, what officially determines whether a flight is technically deemed "long-haul"? Let’s explore this topic for today’s video!

    Most of the international flights from Eastern Australia are either long haul or ultra long haul unless they are to Oceania. Ultra long haul flights I've been on:
    Brisbane to LAX (13+ hours)
    SFO to Brisbane (13+ hours)
    Sydney to Dallas (15+ hours)
    LAX to Sydney (and back, 13+ hours)
    Singapore to Frankfurt (and back, 14+ hours)
    KL to London (14+ hours)
    Paris CDG to Hong Kong (Kai Tak, about 14 hours I think)
