What’s it like to fly on World’s Shortest 53 seconds flight or fly on the World’s Longest 20 hours flight non-stop?
The shortest flight in the world is between Westray and Papa Westray, the flight distance is just 2 miles. These two islands are part of the Orkney Islands off the shore of Scotland. One way ticket cost 17 pounds for the 2-minute flight. Sometimes it can go as fast as 53 seconds from takeoff to landing, depending on the direction of the wind.
What’s the shortest jet flight in the world? Air France uses a widebody 777 to fly 16 miles from Brazzaville to Kinshasa. This is also the world’s shortest international flight – A flight that lasts for an average of 14 minutes.
The longest non-stop commercial flight in the world happened during COVID in 2020. Air Tahiti Nui operated nonstop flights from Papeete, Tahiti to Paris, covering a distance of 9,765 miles made possible by a crew of four pilots with eastbound tailwinds.
Currently, the longest non-stop scheduled commercial flight is between Singapore and New York with Singapore Airlines. The route was launched in 2004 initially flown by A340-500 then it was re-launched in 2018 with A350-900 ULR. There is no economy class on this flight! The Pilot gave an interesting briefing about the 3 different routes this flight can take…
Qantas in 2025 will be launching the world’s longest flight between Sydney and London, covering a distance of 10,573 miles. I was onboard QANTAS project sunrise trial flight in 2019 from London to Sydney with seeing double sunrise. Qantas currently also flies the World’s second-longest flight between Perth and London and third longest flight between Melbourne and Dallas.

Gonna take SQ23 and 24 in a few months. So excited! The longest I’ve taken was NY to Taipei at around 16 hours 11 mins
How do these flights route now that Russian airspace is off limits?
Atlanta, Ga to Doha Qatar is the longest. Macon Ga to Atlanta GA the shortest.
It's not as long as these, but my longest flight is IAH>NRT on a NH 787, but, my flight back NRT>ORD was more comfortable on their new designed 777s. I've also done AKL>LAX and LAX>RAR. Shortest flight has to be IAD>RIC, just following the I-95 highway at a pretty low altitude the entire time.
Sam all 747s are not gone one just flew by my house

Unplanned flight from West Palm Beach to Ft Lauderdale 😅
US carriers will be relishing the opportunity for flying the new 777x on ultra long routes. Rumor has it, that with 4 more inches cabin width, they will fit 11-across seating for economy!
Afraid the Britten Norman Islander is NOT a Turboprop.
The shortest flight i‘ve been on is 35 minutes long from Hanoi to Vinh with vietnam airlines a321. The longest is a cathay pacific b777 from san francisco to hong kong and was 13 hours
The shortest flight i ever had, was a turkish airlines 777-300ER from Tel aviv to Istanbul, great flight, but much to short

Hi MR Sam,
Am from Vietnam and I'm a big fan of you. I have watched a lot of your videos, which leave a strong impression on me. From your videos, I can learn a lot about aviation in the world. I hope in the future you will travel to Vietnam and have a chance to try some airlines in my country. Love all your videos Sam. Keep up the great work
My longest flight: Frankfurt – Varadero (12h)
Brilliant video again. I enjoy every one you make!
London to Manila w. Philippine Airlines is a pretty long one too.
Haven’t taken it but heard- that it‘s cramped and not a very good service.
Is that true? Apparently it’s in an A340
Kara and Nate just made a video of the exact same thing😂
My shortest flight was Milwaukee to Chicago. My longest flight was Washington to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific.
