A question of interest to me.

A question which has bugged me for a time now. What real life route from airport to airport is the longest? In addition. What plane flyies that route? My apologies if this may be in the incorrect catogory. I do not know what catogory this post is best suited.

Iā€™m not sure but many people have claimed to fly from WSSS to WMKK in 1 hourā€¦ and they find it long LOL

Typical duration is 45 minutes as most Singaporeans know it

Why are you specifically talking about Singapore. As far as I can see he just asked what was the longest

Clearly you have misreaded my post. I clear said in ā€˜real lifeā€™ not IF.

KDFW to YSSY is the longest I believe. 16 hours on an A380ā€¦

I understand. Are you talking about 16 hours without a pit stop for fuel?

It is a direct, 16 hour, flight.

@ColonelJeff Why do I specifically speak about Singapore? BECAUSE Iā€™M FROM SINGAPORE, DUH?

Also, the question was rather unclear to me. Perhaps if it was rephrased as ā€œin real lifeā€, it wouldā€™ve been better. My initial interpretation was:

Longest real life route from airport to airport

Real Life Route: Must be a real one (not like KLAX-KNUC, but WSSS-WMKK type)

Let me google it for you, isnā€™t it easy?

Well in fairness if you placed it in the correct category then others would understand you didnā€™t mean in IF. If itā€™s about the real world then in belongs in Real World Aviation :)

Actually I didnā€™t take notice of the category at allā€¦ I believe the problem is with the phrasing of his question.

Currently or in the history of aviation?

Currently itā€™s DXB-AKL, though that may be succeeded if Akbarā€™s ego is to launch DOH-AKL.

In history, SIN-EWR was the longest one, not SIN-JFK (whoever wrote that above). SIN-NYC will relaunch in 2018(?) but AFAIK, itā€™s unclear which airport itā€™s flying to, EWR or JFK.

I wrote it. I donā€™t remember it clearly but I know it was an A345 route.

Oh yes, do stopover(s) count when you say ā€œlongest flightā€?
