- Опубліковано 20 гру 2024
- 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)
Sydney to Dubai. It felt like forever!
flying to Sydney from majority of countries takes forever😂
Try Dubai to Auckland. Worst flight of my life.
@@Yantrus it would be! I come from Wellington Lol 😂
@@Yantrusbest flight of my life
flew dallas to sydney last year, 16 hrs and 31 minutes flight time, about 17 hours on the aircraft
Regularly fly LHR to SIN to LHR , I've learnt the hard way only to use Singapore Airlines and no other carrier.
Are they really that much better?
I flew from lax to Dubai over 15 hours of flight ✈️
I flew from Johannesburg to Atlanta on delta around 16 hours
3:06 My ultra long haul flights (>12 hours non stop flight time) are:
SIN-LHR at 14 hours
KUL-LHR 22x at 13 hours and 30 minutes
KUL-CDG 2x at 13 hours
KUL-AMS at 13 hours
BKK-LHR at 13 hours
LHR-KUL 24x at 12 hours
CDG-KUL at 12 hours
AMS-KUL at 12 hours
HND-LHR at 12 hours
NRT-LHR at 12 hours
I haven't flown on any ultra long haul flight. My longest flight must have been CDG to SDQ via PUJ in 2017.
I’ve never flown ultra long haul, the longest flight for me was 11hrs on MEL-HNL
YVR to BKK, 16h35m. Headwinds were stronger than usual.
SFO-DXB (and SFO-DOH), 15 hours, once it was 16 because of weather at SFO
LAX to SCL. Non-stop. 10.5 Hrs.
DXB-BNE felt like ages
I went from Philadelphia to Orlando and flight was 3 hours and 10 minutes because delay of bad weather rain in Florida. Orlando to Philadelphia was 3 hours and 50 minutes due to the delay in July 2022. It left the airport on time and got delayed to their destination late.
The longest so far was Tokyo Haneda to Frankfurt, which took 13:55h of flying time. The scheduled flying time was even higher. :O
My first ultra long haul flight was the third flight I experienced for my life time, PAL A350 from Manila to New York, 14 hours in Summer of 2021. I'll experience this again at the end of May to Manila and will be my first A380 flight.
longest flights i can remember is ICN to ATL, MSP to ICN, and ZRH to BKK
SIN - LHR with Singapore Airlines and SYD - AUH with Etihad. Both flight was great :)
I consider any flights over 3 hrs long haul. Years ago I had to fly from Papeete French Polynesia to Bodrum Turkey, changing flights 3 times. I was getting homicidal by the end of it.
3 hours isn’t that long.. I would call it early medium haul
"Flight Length" via Wikipedia says >16 hours is ultra long haul per ICAO, IATA, and CAPA aviation organizations. I am not sure why Simple Flying uses >12 hours for ultra long haul. Anyone know the origin of the >12 hour definition?
Los Angeles to Brisbane in 2007, nearly 15 hours.
San Francisco to Melbourne. 15+ hours. I was fortunate to have my own row so I could stretch out
In Australia pretty much every flight is medium or long haul. You can have over 3 hour flight interstate.
AKL - DOH (17+ hrs) on Qatar. AKL - DXB (17+ hrs) on Emirates. AKL - JFK (16+ hrs) on Air New Zealand. Conclusion - NZ is isolated!!
My usual long haul is around 11hr30m GRU - CDG. Even in Business class, which is very comfortable of course, (I usually manage at least 6hrs sleep) that’s about long enough for me.
so does the regulatory requirements change between the different catagories? is there any other major difference in the catagories besides time and the planes used?
My first ultra-longhaul flight is from Auckland - Dubai
Emirates A380
I flew from LAX to MNL 14 hours 40 minutes August 2022 coming back September 2022 MNL to LAX 13 hours 30 minutes.
Ultra long haul flights are part of living in Australia and liking International travel - unless you're going to NZ, South Pacific or South East Asia.
I went from Montreal to Doha 13+ hours
I did two flights to 🇰🇷South Korea & 🇯🇵Japan at separate times
JFK to ICN 14:30hrs
JFK to HND 13:30hrs
AUH - YYZ. 14 hours non stop. 😵💫
LA to Sydney and San Francisco to Melbourne, 14+ hours each
Sydney-SFO, LHR-HKG, FRA-SIN, DXB-SYD, DOH-SYD, SIN-CDG, SIN-MUC
SFO to AKL on an triple-7 of Air Newzealand. Roughly 13 hrs in total with 12.5 hrs over water. You simply need to be prepared: Sufficient reading stuff, pillow, neck support. Even possible in coach class. Just let it happen ... ;-)
I live in Australia. I've flown on many, many ultra-haul flights.
LAX-SYD (15 hours~)
DFW-ICN (13 hours~)
hi everyone...I flew from Dubai International Airport DXB to JFK airport and from Abu-Dhabi to JFK. that's like 13 hours from dxb to jfk.
Hong Kong to Manchester nearly 15 hours is horrific especially as I can’t sleep on planes.
I’ve done JFK to HKG, JFK to TPE, LAX to SYD (started from JFK)
JAL47/48 I’m between Tokyo and Helsinki after sanctions (around 14h instead of the 9h it was pre sanctions which makes it ultra long haul)
DBX to AKL is my semi regular ulta long haul route
I flew that last year in economy. Would never do it again.
los angeles-melbourne
SIN to JFK in business lol. Loved it
My longest flight was Air India’s 777-200LR from New York to Mumbai. It felt like forever!
I'm flying Ultra-Long Haul soon _Vancouver to Bangkok_ Across the Pacific *15 1/2 Hours!*
Any other great ULH examples?
30 return flights from London to Melbourne in the last 20 years in every type of aircraft and airline on the route. Last week flew the last leg of the flight from Singapore to London on SIA A380, took just under 15 hours because of the strong head winds.
I rode HKG to SYD. It was 8 hours and considered medium haul 🤔
Only 10+ hours should be considered long haul
I’ve flown many long haul flights I’ve been to Canada 3 times and U.S Twice

my longest flight is jakarta (cgk) - seoul (icn) vv.. took 7 hours, and there's not much to do, but thanks to ife/avod, at least it's quite managable... i can only imagine back then when there's no entertainment onboard long haul flight, and you could only count on inflight magazine or inflight movie... 😅
Damn that’s short
Longest flight I have done is BA flight from London Gatwick to Mauritius which took 12 hours . No fun.
SYD/MEL-LAX is 14 hours. Has never seemed like "Ultra" long haul to me.
Dubai - Sydney several times, Dubai direct to Auckland, Doha to Sydney.
The only problem I have is that this video was not posted by the long haul channel.

Yes, I fly long haul and my arms get very very tired.
NRT to AMS going the wrong way round the world, over canada. Yeah that took forever, like well over 13,5 hours.
What is the POINT of these labels? This video doesn’t mention.
Does Russia still allow US, Canadian, and other NATO member countries to overfly it's territory via the northern route traversing over the Arctic, when flying to or returning from East Asia do the economic sanctions imposed on it by western nations ?
Russia still allows, countries choose not to so they wont give russia money with the expansive overflight fees
