Hey guys! Recently, I have been trying to move from short domestic flights to longer flights. Long haul flights that are at least 4-6 hours (Intercontinental Flights Count too). I would really appreciate the suggestions as I want to expand my Infinite Flight routes.
Since you are saying āat least 4-6 hoursā you might go for some interesting Atlantic crossings. Especially interesting to me personally (even though I havenāt tried them yet) would be the newly inaugurated Untied routes from Newark to Tenerife Sur (B757-200) and Ponta Delgada (B738)
Iād honestly advice against this as some tend to be quite restrictive⦠Some require you to gain ranks in order to fly certain aircraft and routes⦠Iād recommend picking a random airport and then find its departure/arrival schedule on flightradar24, plenty to find there @Generic_Flyer :)
I like to fly between the northeastern United States and Ireland and Iceland. It gives you a pretty decent number of routes and destinations to use! Most of the flights are also between 5 and 6 hours, especially with a solid tailwind
Some good ones could be Washington (IAD), Boston, New York JFK/EWR, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Toronto, Montreal, Quebec over to Reykjavik, Dublin, or Shannon.
Being in a VA is all about experiencing a close-to real-life career which naturally also has these restrictions. And of course, itās only one side since you can always fly non-VA flights when you feel like it.
Honestly, My favorite Medium Haul flights are if you fly from Any HUB in the Middle East towards Hubs in Western Europe. I live in Egypt so i get to see all flights from/into The Middle East and Africa Soooā¦
Middle Eastern Hubs:
CAIRO (HECA)
DUBAI (OMDB)
DOHA (OTHH)
BEIRUT (OLBA)
TEL AVIV (LLBG)
KUWAIT CITY (OKBK)
ISTANBUL (LTFM) but Istanbul is slighly close to western Europe the other cities so consider the flight to be on average 1 hour shorter than othersā¦
ABU DHABI (OMAA)
TO
Western Europe Hubs:
PARIS
LONDON
DUBLIN
FRANKFURT
AMSTERDAM
MADRID
Any flight connection these cities will be avering between 4-6 Hours depending on winds and the type of aircraft used!
Also since Infinite Flight has added Multiple African Airlines, Flying across Africa is also pretty fun and most flights crossing the continent will be averaging from 6-8 Hours. Hereās the some African Hubs you can fly from/into:
True, LHR-JFK has always been the route that everyone flies when they think of Medium Haul but i think that route became pretty boring⦠at least for meš you only fly above the Atlantic for nearly the whole flight. What about going for some diverse Scenery? You can do Medium Hall flights from Middle Eastern Hubs such as Cairo/Dubai/Doha/Abu Dhabi ect⦠into western Africa or western europe. A more diverse scenery and at the end a new adventureā¦!
KBOS-KLAX is a good one, around 5 hours or so, as well as KMIA-LSZH, which is a bit longer but more of a ālong haulā you could say, around 9-10 hours. and lastly I would recommend doing KJFK-GMMN which is a nice mid point between medium and long haul, around 7-8 hours depending on speed. Happy flying!!
