- The Top 10 longest flights in the world, as of 2018-2020. The new longest flight in the world, both by distance and time in the air, is about 9,534 miles and 19 hours. Can you imagine spending that many hours straight on an airplane? One must be mentally prepared for such day-long flights. The flight times listed in the video, are current as of October 2018, though these tend to vary due to factors like weather, climate conditions, and airport traffic at different times of the year. With all that in mind, here are the 10 longest flights in the world.

Oh thanks. I love trains !
"Qantas" is pronounced "quantas", not "kantas".
Qantas is pronounced 'Quantas', Qantas is abbreviated from Queensland and Northern Territory Airial Service
Imagine flying from anywhere for 16 hours only to get to Newark.
Haha see now that's funny!
I know you’re joking because no one who flies to Newark Airport is visiting Newark! It’s considered a New York City airport, even though it’s geographically located in New Jersey. (P.S. Cincinnati’s airport is in Covington Kentucky, for another example)
I once flew from Melbourne to Los Angeles and then to Denver. The most interesting part was that I boarded in Melbourne at 7 pm on January 5th and then boarded to Denver at 7 pm on January 5th.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 so interesting this one!
Ahhh the time zones
Yeah..you fly over the equator and international time zone. Crazy.
Me too it was horrible it took so long even though l flew Qantas😅
Shows just how massive the Pacific is.
I know this is for commercial airlines, but I have to bet the B-52 holds the record for longest flight. Those planes have stayed in the air over 24 hours. Yes, I know they get refueled in flight, but they didn't land.
@@trvman1 yes I think it was during Desert Storm or the Cold War
@@MikeG42 They still do it today. This year one of them I think did a 36 hour flight without landing.
Indian Ocean is bigger.
@@halfvolley11 Sorry nope the Pacific is the largest ocean. Do some more research.
Fun fact: The longest flight ever flown by a passenger jet was from Hong Kong to London on a Boeing test flight on November 9, 2005. The aircraft used was a 777-200 LR (LR stands for long range). Now usually this flight goes over Asia and Europe and it is 12 hours and 35 minutes. But in this flight, they decided to fly over the Pacific Ocean, America, and Atlantic Ocean to get to London. It was seen flying over Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City. The flight was a whopping 22 hours and 43 minutes. They had to use 8 pilots for this flight. When they landed, they still had 2 hours worth of fuel left. It was enough to show off how long this plane can fly for.
They could have easily done a 24-hour flight then.
I did Sydney-Dallas-Atlanta and back. The Dallas to Sydney flight was interesting. We took off pretty late at night and the entirety of the 17 hour flight was in darkness. It was also pretty cool knowing we flew over nothing but open ocean for over 13 hours.
I flew from SF to HI, 6 hrs over nothing but ocean and I was terrified. Also my first time flying, but it was freaky dicky.
If you fly out of the South facing runway (16R) at Sydney & fly straight into San Fransisco, the whole flight is over water. Off the end of the Runway at Sydney & onto the runway in SFO.
@@lyss4987 same lol
@@lyss4987 just a different place
Dark for 17 hours sounds a little scary
Dubai to Buenos Aires, via Sao Paolo on Emirates, over 19 hr! So much fun watching your beard grow, skin drying, getting constipated and totally losing all track of time 😁
True, but it doesn't count as these are nonstop flights. Though weird that they used 2018 to reference 2020 as flights which were added in 2019 (such as Cathay Pacific's Hong Kong-Washington Dulles route (which was dropped in 2020 due to Covid-19)) beat most of this list.
Wooww
I have something for constipation it called reading the newspaper. After reading all that garbage im cleaned out in less then 10 minutes.
@@raphaelszok8561 LOL
These are nonstop routes in this video
Very nice information, thanks a lot.
Fun Fact: SFO to Singapore is the same duration in flight as SFO to Hong Kong but the difference is one takes the equatorial route and the other takes the polar route.
I did three around the world trips in one year. Left Nebraska to work in Germany usually Omaha to Chicago to Frankfurt, then off to China thru Singapore then to Shanghai. Then Shanghai to Sydney, Sydney to LAX and then back to Omaha. All in two weeks. Jet lag for a month.
Thanks for the video
Qantas (Cwontas) Darwin to London is about 17 hours 40 minutes. Took it 2020.
Qantas has announced it will begin operating non-stop flights from Sydney to London and New York from 2025. 20hrs+
Yes, using the Airbus A350-1000ULR that is being specially built for this flight
R u sure about 20+ hours? I’m Australian and back in 2018 I flew melb-Perth then on to London, Perth-London took 13.5 hrs and I’m sure Darwin-Perth couldn’t be longer than 5 hrs
@@OPPLAYER57_YT Yep. Flew it in April on Qantas
@@ylass8884 jeez that’s long lol
@@OPPLAYER57_YT too long. I prefer kangaroo hop Melb to KL or SIN.an hour or so to walk around airport then to London. NOT WITH QANTAS however.
The longest flight in the world was performed by the Rutan Voyager in December of 1986. The aircraft was built for the mission and flew around the world, non-stop, without re-fueling. The flight took nine days and two pilots were on board. They flew 26,366 miles in total, blowing away all other long distance flights. They hold the record to this day, taking off from California heading West, and landing at the same airport nine days later.
They used cyanoacrylates to build the plane.
They are talking about commercial flights not a special once in a life flight. If they wanted they can remove all the seats and load some extra fuel and run the plane around the world no problem.
@@josels1292 I don't see the reference to commercial flights in the title honestly.
I suppose the author intended for their video to be about commercial flights, but, I figured I'd add to the topic in the discussion.
But, as the title is written it could be taken in two ways literally: Distance, or time. The distance record I've already mentioned above.
The time record is perhaps equally amazing: That record was performed over a period of 64 days, 22 hours, and 19 minutes between December of 1958, and February of 1959 in a Cessna 172. Wrap your mind around the logistics of that flight: Refueling, eating, sleeping, and relieving yourself, showering, changing the oil in the engine while it runs, and so on... Two pilots, John Timm and John Cook hold the title to that record.
Your comment about the ability of a commercial airliner to circumnavigate the world if they simply remove seats, add some fuel tanks and see what they can do might not be as simple as you think. Here's the reason: The fuel load on the aircraft is typically already the heaviest thing, aside from the empty weight of the aircraft itself. Cargo jets already have the seats removed, allowing freight to be hauled instead of people. The longest range commercial aircraft is currently the 777X with an 11,500nautical mile range. It takes 21,600 nautical miles to fly around the world in a perfect circle. The 777X weight lifting limitations, would not be able to haul the necessary fuel load to bridge the extra 10,100 nautical miles. Here's a breakdown: To fly 11,500 nautical miles, the jet has to take on a 392,250 pound payload of fuel. Thats an amazing 52,300 gallons! The aircraft's maximum payload capacity thereafter, whether it's seats, or passengers, jello, or freight is an impressive 162,000 pounds. The aircraft requires 34.10 pounds of fuel per mile to fly. To fly an added 10,100 nautical miles, would require an added fuel capacity of 344,410 pounds of fuel, not to mention the weight of the fuel tanks, pumps, and plumbing weight. This would leave the aircraft 182,410 pounds over its maximum takeoff weight limitations, or more than 24,000 gallons of fuel short.
The fact that what you claim to be potentially possible has never been done, might shed the best light on the fact that it wouldn't be possible with any modern-day commercial airframe ever invented to date. It lends even more credit to the folks that did perform a full circumnavigation of the world without refueling, on their own accord, and by their own design, in my opinion.
@@terraholdingco Well thanks for the worlds longest UA-cam comment reply.
@@josels1292 Imagine if you could learn something on UA-cam or share an interesting thought on the topic instead of only using it for snarky and sarcastic commentary. Wouldn't that be a better world? Perhaps you've learned something, perhaps not. But others might like the read, and enjoy it. You're welcome. It was easy.
I experienced 1. Brisbane, Aus to Singapore to Frankfurt, Germany. Brisbane to Singapore 8 hours, then Singapore to Frankfurt Germany 13 hours . Only 2 hours stop-over in Singapore. I didn't mind at all because it was Singapore Airlines Business Class.
Then Davao City, Phils to Singapore to LA, it was exhausting. I will never do that again, even it was premium seats still to much.
Before Covid pandemic NZ Airlines fly Auckland to Beunos Aires non-stop, I can't imagine sitting inside the plane that long specially in economy class wearing mask.
Same, recently flew London to Brisbane. First leg London to Amsterdam with British Airways, with an overnight layover. The second leg Singapore Airlines from Amsterdam to Singapore, the final leg Singapore to Brisbane, all in Business Class. Coming back the same route. It was very comfortable and being able to sleep lying down and having the layover in an Amsterdam hotel before finally flying home in the UK was worth it, got barely any jet lag once reached home! The time difference wasn’t bad on either side of the world for me.
Back in 2011, I did 16hrs 45min from Johannesburg to New York(JFK) with South African Airways. I thought I was going to die😭😭😭
😅
lol
Great Job 👍 Travel respect from Detroit
Did the SF to Singapore flight on United .. depending on the wind it’s 17 hrs but only 14 1/2 coming back to the states.
Been waiting for three 2020 version
Toronto to Manila 16 hrs plus. Great crew made the flight enjoyable. Food was actually good as well. Flew at night over the North Pole, over Russia and China. This was in February. Second flight to Manila was October and we flew up over the Pacific, over Alaska and Japan down to Manila, same thing great crew on Philippines airlines.

Nice video
After once done a flight that last total almost a whole day, all these flights aren’t that surprising to me as much. :)
I flew from Hanoi to Toronto with transit in China. Practically the same distance with the longest flight here with Hanoi being not far away from Singapore and Newark being close to Toronto. The only good thing is since Toronto is 12hrs behind Hanoi, when you arrived, you have an extra 12hrs whereas if you flight the other way around from the place where time is behind forward, another few or many hours extra would seem to have been taken away when you arrive at your destination.
Wow!
Sounds like magic hehe
i flew for 4 hours Greece-Uk and cried the whole way. thank you
🤣
😆
🤪
For what?
@@jaleel788 I have a huge fear of flying . So
I once flew from Newark to Singapore in the early 2000. I now don’t remember how it felt flying that long of a flight.
Well, nice informative
20 years ago, the flight from Chicago to Singapore (with a stop at Tokyo Narita) was about 22 hours flying with about 3 hours layover. We left on a Friday afternoon and arrived Sunday morning.
The return flight left around noon and arrived the same morning, I think. Those time changes really mess with you!
Imagine complaining about this length of trip to those living around 1890. They'd all laugh and be stunned that we can go essentially half way around the world in a day.
I had a similar experience on my return flight from Tokyo to New York. The flight was 12 hours. We were scheduled to take off and land at the exact same time due to the time difference....but then the plane landed 10 minutes early. That was a mind bender.
I went from east coast to LAX to Singapore to Cebu, way back in the mid 90s. It's quite the long journey, but I loved it as an 11-year old.
Yes, I remember wanting to nap for hours in the middle of the day here in the states after returning from Asia as a teen. It's hard. But, so worth it.
Sounds similar to the flights I used to take Auckland to London (via LAX) & return. 11-12 hours to LAX, we had to disembark & be processed by US customs only return to our same seats & continue 10-11 hours to London. I usually spent 4-5 days there for work & flew back home same route. Did that for 5 years 2-3 times a year until Covid. The first year I was just excited to be going to London by year 5 I was over it & its definitely tiring. This year will be the first year since I need to go back & not looking forward to the long flight likely via dubai or Asia since air nz no longer flies to London.
I have taken the Delta flight Johannesburg-Atlanta several times and it's brutal, people need like a week to recover from the jetlag, especially the flight going down there.
Hi how are you doing
JFK to Johannesburg in 2006 on SAA was freezing cold and took forever, took three days for my body to come up to normal temp!
flown that same flight 6 times. You are right, it is brutal.
@Barry Rosenthal good point!
I finished up a work assignment in Anchorage, AK and had to go straight to the next assignment in South Africa. I wound up flying Anchorage to Atlanta, about a four hour layover then Atlanta to Joburg. I didn't even know my own name by the time I got there.
Lovely collection of info! The list might be missing DEL-SFO which I think is amongst the top 5 long distance flights.
Yes! Agree. There are many 16+hours flights which do not find a mention here
Yes. Distance-wise, it is also longer than lax to Abu Dhabi.
Los Angeles - Singapore is operated by Singapore Airlines only at this moment. UA suspended this route quite some time ago already.
When I grow up I want to be a pilot for Kantas.
Qantas not Kantas

He still hasn't grown up, apparently.
@@pinayladyoz8044 That's probably the joke. The narrator can't stop saying 'Kantas.'

I once took a 10-minute flight from Dhahran to Bahrain on a Gulf Air 737-200. There wasn't enough time to show a movie but we were all given a cup of chilled orange juice.
Longest flight I’ve been on was from Toronto Pearson to Mumbai back when Air Canada operated a direct flight to Mumbai. I have a hard time sleeping on planes, so I made quick acquaintance with the IFE.
My longest flight was air India from Delhi to sfo, which is longer than Abu Dhabi to lax.
Been on the NY to Manila flight many times, its a killer but beats the heck out of stopping in Japan or Taipei & adding 6+ hours to travel time.
You should try NY to Singapore to Manila by Singapore Airlines, only 2 hours lay-over at Singapore Airport.

It is not pronounced ‘Cantas’! It is pronounced Qantas, like ‘Q’ as in the ‘Queen’. The airline has been around forever & is named after Australian places when it first launched & flew only to those Australian Destinations. ‘QANTAS’ stands for ‘Queensland and Northern Territory Airline Systems’!
Close enough to be undistinguishable
@@odzergaming You must be deaf
It’s pronounced Kwantas actually even though it’s called Qantas.
Looking very cool.

I flew non-stop LA to Singapore (Singapore Airlines) and San Francisco to Singapore (United) several times. Yes, it's a long flight, but it's not too bad, or maybe because I'm a frequent flier and am used to it :)
done the Sydney to Dallas (after already flying to Sydney from Auckland and then after Dallas flew on to Memphis). Also done the Auckland to Dubai (on the way to London)
In 2018 I did JFK-LAX-Brisbane-Sydney and back. Thankfully it was in business class, so I survived.
And I thought that the frequent 12 to 14 hours flights I used to have between 2010 and 2018 were long. Apparently not that long
They were considered long for a while. It’s hard to believe that 19 years ago New York to Hong Kong was the longest route but now it’s near 30th place
All flights that run more than 17hrs must cancel economy seats and give flexibility
And that makes all seats way more expensive, and after that there is no demand left. Airlines would sell only business seats if possible. Economy seats are there just to fill the plane.
And pay you to fly :)
Or they could have a self-service beverage and snack bar. JetBlue mint used to do that.
Qantas London to Sydney is the longest flight. Qantas is also looking at a flight from Sydney to New York and has been done before but isn’t available for passengers yet. The London to Sydney one is available, That is the longest flight
I flew from Sydney to Dallas in 2018. We almost missed our connection to LGA.
Quite interesting information; by the way there is another long range non-stop flight from JED to LAX operated by Saudia airlines B777-300 that covers 8366 miles in 16 hours and 05 minutes.

exactly, I flew Brisbane, Australia to LA direct flights business class Virgin Atlantic, I don't think I can do it in economy.

SFO-Hong Kong is 13 hours long.

I've done Sydney - Dallas Fort Worth, one long flight although I flew Qantas not Kantas....
Flight from Sydney to Johannesburg should also be included here.
Longest flight in the world.
Yes, I thought I 'd die when flying there for the World Cup 2010
Geometrically, how would the shortest distance be determined? If you can imagine a plane (not airplane) through 3 points: the center of Earth, Point A and Point B, then that plane leaves an intersecting line (circle and line) on the Earth surface joining Point A and Point B. That is the shortest distance between Point A and Point B.
You realized that the earth is not a sphere... it is flat.
Yep, I have done the flight from San Francisco to Singapore 🇸🇬 ❤👏🏻👏🏻… long flight but it’s worth it. Love Singapore

In October 12,2016. I took a 14 hours and 8 minutes flight from Taoyuan, Taiwan to Paris, France by Eva Airlines. I thought it was the longest flight in the world!😁
A month earlier from then, I took my longest, which was a 16 hour and 5 minute flight from Delhi to San Francisco on an air India Boeing 777-200lr.

Dublin to London Heathrow, 50mins , longest in my heart
New airline called Kantas. 😂
I flew the Newark-Singapore flight twice in 2010.... The plane was, I believe an A350 four engine Airbus one deck airplane, not the A380. There were only 100 seats/cubicles on the flight. We all had our private spaces with small doors that closed. At bedtime, they gave us a small bag with sleeping apparel. By the time you were done changing in the very large restrooms your bed was made up with mints on the pillows. Yes, it was a long flight but it was first rate with the food, the service and the lovely flight attendants.
I think you're talking about the A340, as the A350 only has two engines.
Definitely the a340
It used to be operated by the a340-500, but then, the a350lr took over.
It is interesting the longest SINGLE flight but that isn't the whole story. It might be made of multiple legs but having a system where you have to fly one distance, deplane, pass security again, take a long leg over the pacific, deplane, pass security again then another leg makes the total journey time without any effective break much longer than it seems.
The first time I travelled from my home in Kyabram Australia to visit my son in Seattle it took 33 hours of travelling and connecting flights. Someone going from Sydney to London takes substantially less time for a similar distance.
I did LAX to Singapore with Singapore airlines. Was a really experience with this airlines ..
United Airlines no longer flies to Singapore from L.A. The only sole operator for the Singapore-Los Angeles flight is Singapore Airlines
I flew United airlines from Singapore to LA before
We flew UAL from LAX to Singapore back in 1987.
Now, United airlines flies only to San Francisco from Singapore.
I wish American Airlines and delta also flew to Singapore.
Kantus!
I did a flight trip between Chennai, India and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
It took nearly 24 Hours...
I am surprised by the difference between the Singapore-Los Angeles and the Singapore-San Francisco routes - I would have thought the distances would be close. Also there is now a San Francisco to Bangalore route that would place on this list.
I spent this kind of time in the car yesterday.
Being in the air seems to be funnier.
LONGEST FLIGHT : ''Earth To Mars'' By ELON'S SPACE X 😁
Ya know I'm gonna have to agree w/u on that, it's true.

Same here. In this game called Infinite Flight I flew from SIN to JFK myself (started around 12:00pm and landed at 6:00am the next day). Of course I did get some sleep in the middle of it😅
same, don't get why some hate it
I would puke a lot on long haul flights.Maximum 5-6 more than enough for me
i flew back in 2016 ...fort laturdale to huston was 4 hours on united 737-900 ,than huston to ackland was a 14 hour flight 777-300 air new zealand ,than auckland to waganui a 1 hour flight on dash 8 -300 air new zealand ..was my longest trip ever to go on ...the 14 hour flight was amazing to be at 41k and see the sunrise come at you ..and pass the equator and time cage to next day ..new zealand is 18 hours ahead so lost almost two days to get there .with stops ,and customs
In 2017 I flew a couple hours to Seattle from Calgary I don’t know what plane, then I took about a 16 hour flight straight to Dubai on a380, then got on another a380 for 8 hours to Johannesburg
Done the Delta ATL-JNB Route a couple of times. Thought it was the longest flight in the world. Can’t imagine flying any longer distance.
