Whenever I feel like flying ultra long hauls I have some routes I like to choose europe-oceania, southwestern USA-south africa which i’m doing right now (CPT-SAN SAA9 A333), i’ve yet to try USA-SIN again (my first time was SAN-SIN SQ48 A359) and I have not yet tried flying from the oceania to the east coasts of north america. What are some 8000NM+ routes you fly?

there’s realistic route from real life like JFK-SYD using Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner it was taking 19 hours in real life
it was depart 9 PM EDT

Who runs or ran this route? JFK-SYD is as big as LHR-SYD, I shouldn’t have missed something like that.
It was a test flight, to prove the concept

Personally I’d quite likely to try flying LFPO-NTAA direct in a French Bee A350-900, but it’s around 8500nm and I’m not sure if the A359 is capable of going that distance.

I’ve done 8800NM in an A350, it can do way more
There’s literally millions of options. Personally, I fly KBOS - KLAX (KSAN) or KLSV-KVAD
Unfortuneately those are not even long haul flights
KLAX-WSSS A359 headwinds made it 16hours ish.

normally I did regional routes - capitals, among them one that I had a longer time was SBFZ-SBCT
I did LFPG - NTAA on the 787-9. Very long flight but I made it.
Three weeks ago from VTBS to KJFK in an A359. Almost 9.000nm The plane was fully fueled and had left 6% when I arrived.

I can’t wait until DFW and the A380 get reworked!! SYD-DFW is going to be a frequent route for me when those 2 are reworked.
