About 2 months ago I attempted the world record for the longest 737 flight, but later found out it wasn’t the record. Well today, that all changes. 17 hours and 22 minutes non stop to Sydney. Previous record was held by @LordWizrak with a time of 17:03.
Seriously impressive! I’m waiting for a budget airline to start flying this route on the 737 now (Westjet?). Side note: I think I would be miserable on a 737 for 17+ hours…
For westjet to be able to operate this they would need a lot of fuel and a BBJ aircraft, and yeah I couldn’t imagine anyone surviving a 737-700 flight for that long lol
I still remember I told you that I could not be bothered to look through my logbook for the longest flight in the B737-700. Since you’ve tagged me, however, I’ve decided to check through my logbook to see if there’s anything longer, and it looks like there is a longer flight still.
If I had a nickel for every time you thought you beat my flight time record in the B737-700, I’d have two nickels - which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
