For many, air travel has long been an integral part of life. Someone uses them so often that for these people it is a simple component of their daily routine. And yet, it remains to be difficult and tiring for those who fly a lot of aircraft.
Therefore, some people prefer exclusively direct flights. It is faster and more convenient. Therefore, airlines do not stop offering long-distance non-stop flights. The longest flights in the world are often in good demand among passengers.
It is understood as commercial flightduring which no intermediate transfers are planned. It must meet the following criteria:
- the total distance between the point of arrival and departure should be at least 12,000 km;
- total flight time - from 15 hours.
Basically, such long routes are laid along the arc of a large circle and over the polar regions, since this is the shortest distance between two points on Earth.
Map of direct flights to the world.
In total, almost all the world's longest non-stop airplane flights go from Southeast Asia to the cities of North America.
Advantages and disadvantages of non-stop flights
The advantage of such a flight is that you don’t have to defend the check-in queue at the transfer airport. You calmly sit down at the starting point of the route and spend the entire flight in the chair.
The downside is that, as a rule, passengers simply do not know what to do with themselves during the flight. Spending 15 hours or more in a chair is very difficult.
Therefore, on such routes they try as much as possible to provide various entertainment for passengers.
To prevent your legs from numbing, be sure to get up and walk along the aisle to stretch your legs a little.
The longest flights by plane
Are below 10 longest routesoffered by different airlines.
Goes first here flight between Doha Qatar and Aucklandimplemented by Qatar Airways. The total distance covered is 14 535 km.
Passengers on this flight spend in the air about 17 hours 40 minutes. The flight takes place on an airplane Boeing 777-200LR. The first flight was held February 6, 2017.

The seventh in length was flight from Los Angeles to Bangkok. Thai Airways International offers such a route. Distance 13,309 km away Airbus A340-500 passes for 17 and a half hours. He began to carry out December 2, 2005.
Airbus A340-500.
Emirates took their eighth place again with their dubai - Houston Flight. Passengers overcome on Boeing 777-200LR 13 144 km in 16 hours 20 minutes. First time he passed December 3, 2007.
Ninth place rightfully takes washington - Johannesburg flight, at South African Airways. The route will be 13,084 km, and in time - 15 hours 10 minutes. Airbus A340-300 first time took to the air May 1, 2009to go on this flight.
The same day was first held dubai - San Francisco flight Emirates Boeing 777-200LR covered the route 13,041 km in 16 hours. He is at the end of our list.
As you can see, the longest airplane flights in the world are offered by professionals in the field of commercial civil aviation, which means you do not need to worry about your comfort during such flights.
Singapore Airlines has launched the longest nonstop flight in the world from Singapore to New York from the start of the winter schedule - 18 hours 45 minutes.
For comparison: a flight from Moscow to New York or a direct flight from Moscow to Singapore lasts an average of 10 hours. Now you can find a ticket on these routes for less than 30 thousand rubles. Direct flights from Singapore to New York cost more than a thousand dollars.
It is designed for wealthy businessmen who do not want to spend time on transplants and expectations on the way from one world business center to another. There are not even economy class seats in the cabin.
The flight is operated on a new type of vessel, the Airbus A350-900ULR. It allows for ultra-long flight. It has 67 business class seats and 94 premium economy class seats. Also on board are 15 crew members and two pilots, each of whom can rest for eight hours during the flight.
The cabin has high ceilings, large windows, which allows you to make long-distance flights comfortable for passengers. Passenger seats in business class are transformed into beds, that is, you can sleep comfortably.
There is wi-fi, which makes it possible to constantly be in touch, usb socket. Passengers, like on all long-haul flights, are offered a large film library, in total they have at their disposal 1,200 hours of audio and video entertainment.

The business class ticket price includes a multi-course menu with a choice of serving time, as well as drinks. On the first flight, business class passengers were fed steamed dumplings with steamed lobster, deep-fried fish fillet and beef.
The plane covered a distance of 16.7 thousand kilometers, crossed 12 time zones. Passengers had two short nights and one short day. The board flew through the airspace of Cambodia, Laos, China, Mongolia and Russia. The airline will make this flight three times a week from October 11 to October 18, and daily flights will begin on this route from October 18. This will happen after another A350-900ULR aircraft enters service. Tickets are already on sale.
The airline plans to launch more direct flights Singapore - Los Angeles on the same type of aircraft A350-900ULR. He can stay in the sky for 20 hours. They promise to announce the start of flights later. Experts emphasize the growing demand for long flights.
For Russia, an increase in transit flights means an increase in revenue — fees for flights by foreign companies in the airspace and an increase in the transit role in international civil aviation.

By the way, on October 11, the Russian State Air Traffic Management Corporation changed the structure of air traffic routes in the sky over Russia. The length of the routes increased by 7 thousand 213 kilometers due to new routes. Within the boundaries of the Arkhangelsk and Murmansk air traffic management centers, within the framework of the proposals of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a 2,500-km cross-polar navigation route was organized.
Help "WG"
It is not the first time Singapore Airlines launched flights on the route Singapore - New York. A few years ago they were already on the list of air carrier, but in 2013 they were suspended due to expensive services.
We admire the speed a regular passenger plane can reach and how quickly it can deliver us from one point in the world to another. Few people know, but the speed of passenger airliners usually does not exceed 900 km / h. Almost any jet fighter can outrun such a vessel at about three times the speed.
But there are aircraft, the speed of which exceeds this indicator - hypersonic aircraft. Hypersonic devices are called devices that in flight are capable of developing speeds several times higher than the speed of sound.
The specific indicator that would allow classifying airplanes as hypersonic has not yet been determined by researchers.
Another criterion that causes constant debate is the way the device is controlled. Some researchers are of the opinion that only ships managed by. According to another point of view, drones can also be attributed to the number of aircraft. This separation can be considered justified, since unmanned vehicles have more advanced technical characteristics. Also controversial is the ability of an airplane to take off on its own or using other powerful carriers.
Be that as it may, the majority of researchers are of the same opinion, according to which, the determining factor in classifying a model as hypersonic is the maximum speed of the aircraft, which it can develop while in the air. This approach allows us to expand several times the list of models of hypersonic aircraft, the development of which engineers from all over the world are engaged in. Of course, many are interested in what the fastest plane in the world is already cutting through the heavenly space, and what characteristics it possesses.
Heavenly speed rating
To answer this most interesting question, we will make a rating: "The fastest aircraft in the world Top 10". In it, we note those models of air transport that rightfully deserve to go down in history thanks to their characteristics.
10th place: Tupolev Tu-144
A shot of the Tupolev Tu-144 aircraft
High-speed performance of the Tu-144 would not allow him to enter the top 10 fastest aircraft. However, not marking him in this rating would be wrong. Tupolev took an honorable tenth place, as he is the first supersonic passenger airliner in the world. His first flight was dated back to 1968. This event was literally a gift for the field of aviation development, as the flight took place on December 31 just on the eve of the New Year. But the most significant event in the history of the Tu-144 occurred on June 5, 1969, when he managed to overcome the sound barrier at an altitude of 11 km. Tupolev Tu-144 - the fastest passenger aircraft in the world, accelerating to 2,500 km / h.
9th place: General Dynamics F-111
In ninth place is a tactical bomber, accelerating to a speed of 3060 km / h. Unfortunately, the model was decommissioned back in the late 90s. At one time, the device became the first aircraft in which the sweep of the wing could change, which gave it a significant advantage in the air.
8th place: McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle
The 8th position was given to the American all-weather fighter, which is one of the most successful aircraft. Now this model is still an important part of the US Air Force and will not leave the system until at least 2025. In addition, the US command plans to produce these devices for about three more years. The vessel can pick up speed equal to 3065 km / h.
7th place: MiG-31
Domestic heavenly guard Mig-31
The seventh line was taken by the domestic aircraft, capable of accelerating to 3463.92 km / h. The device boasts the presence of two powerful engines, allowing it to develop supersonic speed while at both high and low altitudes. Unfortunately, the production of this warship was stopped in the first half of the 90s.
6th place: XB-70 Valkyrie
The sixth place went to the strategic bomber, whose main task during the Cold War would be the delivery of nuclear weapons. It was assumed that the speed equal to 3672 km / h would be needed for the device in order to escape from the Soviet interceptors, but, more importantly, still not fall under the effects of a nuclear explosion. Only two aircraft of this model were created.
5th place: Bell X-2 Starbuster
Another place goes to an experimental aircraft, the main purpose of which is to study the flight conditions at high speeds. According to preliminary data, the aircraft could reach a speed of 3911.9 km / h. The first flight of the device took place in 1954, but after two years this program had to be stopped. The fact is that after the aircraft has reached maximum speed, the pilot can no longer control it.
4th place: MiG-25
Especially for organizing the interception of American air reconnaissance aircraft, the Mig-25 aircraft was built, which took an honorable fourth place. The device has unique features:
- has a speed of 3916.8 km / h;
- strikes targets at an altitude of 25 km.
The plane proved to be excellent in some conflicts and is still in the ranks of the armed forces of some countries. In total, 1,100 aircraft of this type were created.
3rd place: Lockheed YF-12
In 3rd place was the apparatus, which was developed as a prototype aircraft, capable of developing a speed equal to 3.35 sound speeds. This aircraft model received several honorary titles, which a little later passed, roughly speaking, to the "brother" Lockheed - to the SR-71 Blackbird model. The development of both devices involved designer Clarence "Kelly" Johnson. The maximum speed that the YF-12 could develop was 4100.4 km / h.
2nd place: SR-71 Blackbird
"Blackbird", and this is how the name of this model can be translated into Russian, was used by the US Air Force and NASA. Moreover, the first aircraft was needed to carry out strategic reconnaissance missions, and the second - for research purposes. A total of 32 vessels were built, since the creation of the apparatus was associated with an important problem: the high temperature of the apparatus, to which it was warmed up in flight. In addition, the operation of this model requires special fuel, and refueling can be done exclusively in flight. Thrush speed - 4102.8 km / h.
1st place: North American X-15
The fastest manned hypersonic aircraft
The speed of the fastest manned aircraft is 8,200.8 km / h. The model was developed specifically for research related to hypersonic flights, in which the pilot controls the ship. The aircraft is equipped with a rocket engine and launches from a strategic bomber. It is noteworthy that the ship can rise to a height of 107 km. It was actively used until 1970.
Unmanned rivals
Now the fastest aircraft in the world with unmanned control is the Boeing X-43, built on a jet engine. The first flight of the device was unsuccessful, as the plane crashed, holding out in the air for only 11 seconds. But the third flight of the X-43A was crowned with the installation of a new world speed record - 11,230 km / h.
Orbital Sciences Corporation X-34 could get the title of the fastest aircraft, but this prevents one “but." In theory, a ship can accelerate to 12,144 km / h. However, during experimental flights, he was unable to catch up with his main rival and gained a speed of less than 11,230 km / h.
Dangerous competition
Separate consideration deserves the Chinese hypersonic development WU-14. In essence, the WU-14 is a guided glider deployed on an intercontinental ballistic missile. The missile system launches the vehicle into space, from where it abruptly dives down, while gaining incredible speed. During testing, this unit was able to reach speeds exceeding the mark of 12,000 km / h. But many researchers are of the opinion that this development does not belong to the class of aircraft, but to be classified as a warhead.
In contact with
Air travel is a fantastically fast and comfortable way to cross the seas and oceans, get from one point of the globe to another. Indeed, from the very beginning of the emergence of aviation, airlines have been fighting for victory in speed, flight altitude, carrying capacity and cabin comfort. Leading airlines provide travelers with the opportunity of non-stop flights to their destination, thereby saving them from wasting time in terminals waiting for the next flight and the hassle of baggage.
A non-stop flight of an aircraft performing a regular flight of more than 12 thousand kilometers and not making a single stop is called ultra-long non-stop flight. In this case, the flight time should exceed 15 hours. This is usually the shortest possible route between two points in different parts of the world. But the flight is not always made in a straight line. Due to the large distances between some points, extra-long flights run along the Great-circle navigation arc and often over the polar regions.
View from above
During a flight, a number of factors affect its duration:
- wind direction (tail, head, side);
- precipitation intensity;
- weather conditions in the region over which the flight is carried out, etc.
Therefore, different times may be spent on the same route. Under favorable weather conditions and headwind, the board will spend in the air no more than 19 hours.
The title "The longest flight in an airplane in the world without a transfer" today is claimed by 3 air routes:
- The longest flight from Singapore to New York Liberty International Airport is 18 hours 50 minutes.
- The long-haul flight between Qatar and New Zealand lasts 18 hours in the air. The length of the Doha - Auckland route is more than 14.5 thousand kilometers (Boeing 777-200LR).
- Perth - London. In March 2018, the aircraft of the Australian airline Qantas made its first non-stop flight from the Australian city of Perth to London. The flight time of the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner was 16 hours 29 minutes, although the estimated time on the Perth - London route is 17 hours 20 minutes. The average flight speed of the airliner was 938 kilometers per hour. Dreamliner covers a distance of almost 15 thousand kilometers without refueling.
Which airlines performed the longest flights
The longest flight since 1969 on passenger airlines was demonstrated by Boeing. During this time, boards 747-8 were released in four versions. 14 800 km of airspace overcomes the Boeing 747-8 without landing. Boards of Boeing with the abbreviation LR (Longer Range, translated from English sounds like "long range") are used by many carriers.
The European concern Airbus - a joint brainchild of France, Spain, the UK and Germany - is the main competitor of the legendary "American". In April 2005, it launched the serial production of the largest passenger airliner Airbus 380. It is capable of transporting, depending on the model of the liner, from 525 to 853 passengers over a range of over 15,000 km. For 12 years, the company produced 213 cars.
Even earlier, since 1961, the longest flight on a plane in the world without a transplant was carried out by El Al. The route ran between Tel Aviv and New York. The time for which the liner covered 9137 km was 9 hours 33 minutes.
The record numbers can boast flights made 12 years ago from the UK to the east, to Hong Kong. The route with a length of 21 602 km was not direct (the shortest distance between London and Hong Kong is 10 000 km). The flight was extended in order to test the capabilities of the Boeing 777-200LR. Therefore, on board were only crew members, narrow specialists and journalists.
If you get from Johannesburg to Atlanta with transfers, you can spend 1 day and 10 hours on the road, of which 13 hours and 15 minutes will take to wait for the next flight at the airport. A flight from the United States to the largest city in South Africa without a transfer lasts 16 hours and 15 minutes, during which the aircraft travels 13,582 kilometers. Only Delta Air Lines operates non-stop flights in this direction.
Emirates flight from Dubai to Los Angeles was in third place in terms of flight range. The route is 13,420 km long and passengers spend 16 hours and 35 minutes in the air.
Here are some examples of ultra-long routes today:
- Doha - Auckland. Airline Qatar Airways QR 921, at a distance of 14 535 km. Flight time is 17h 40 min (Boeing 777-200LR).
- Perth London Heathrow. Airline Qantas QF9, at a distance of 14,499 km. Flight time is 17h 8 min (Boeing 787-9).
- Dubai - Auckland. The airline Emirates EK 449, at a distance of 14,202 km. Flight time - 17h 15 min (Airbus A380-800).
- Sydney - Dallas. Airline Qantas QF7, at a distance of 13 804 km. Flight time - 15 h 35 min (Airbus A380-800).
- San Francisco - Singapore. The airline Singapore Airlines SQ 32, at a distance of 13,588 km. Flight time is 16 hours 30 minutes (Airbus A350-900).
- Johannesburg - Atlanta. The airline Delta Air Lines DL 201, at a distance of 13 582 km. Flight time is 16 hours and 15 minutes (Boeing 777-200LR).
- Dubai - Los Angeles. The airline Emirates EK 215, at a distance of 13,420. Flight time - 16 h 35 min (Boeing 777-200LR).
- Los Angeles - Bangkok. Airline Thai Airways International TG 795, at a distance of 13 309 km. Flight time - 17 h 30 min (Airbus A340-500).
- Dubai - Houston. The airline Emirates EK 211, at a distance of 13,144 km. Flight time is 16 hours 20 minutes (Boeing 777-200LR).
- Washington - Johannesburg. Airline South African Airways SA 204, at a distance of 13,084 km. Flight time - 15 h 10 min (Airbus A340-300).
The longest flights from Moscow
The longest flight from Moscow without a transfer to Vancouver, the first in the world through the north pole made the Soviet aircraft ANT-25. The crew included the legendary pilot Valery Chkalov, Georgy Baidukov, as well as the navigator Alexander Belyakov. They covered 8504 km in 63 hours. “For the first time in history, an airplane under the control of Chkalov reached the United States, showing the Americans the full power of Soviet aircraft and the courage of pilots,” the Pravda newspaper wrote in those days.
Then, in the USSR, “Ily” continued their victorious march through the air. So in 1963, Il-62, the first Soviet long-range jet liner, began air travel. This aircraft was truly a breakthrough, because by the time it began to work on it, the aircraft industry was able to create powerful engines, more durable materials, more compact and lightweight equipment. Due to all this, it was possible to build an aircraft, which was spoken of abroad as follows: “IL-62 is a well and skillfully crafted, practical design. Russians can rightfully be proud of their achievement. This is a new word in the history of air transportation. ” At that time, the flight range was 9780 km. And he followed from Moscow to the USA. "Moscow - New York - Moscow." Regarding the technical characteristics of the IL-62 there were legends. For example, an airplane could back up while maneuvering at an airport.
Russia in the list of record holders by flight length is Il-96. Since the start of operation in 1993, the Voronezh Aviation Plant has produced only 30 aircraft in three versions: 96-300, 96M / T and 96/400. The Russian record for the duration of the flight belongs to IL-96/400 - 12,800 km.
It would seem that the capabilities of modern boards allow you to cross the distance from pole to pole in the shortest possible time. And a ticket for a flight will be cheaper than a flight with transfers. But this is not always feasible and cost-effective for carriers. So in a straight line, the path between North America and Asia runs over the Arctic. Why, then, from Moscow can not go to New York without air transfers? Because at the North Pole is a strategic zone. Airplanes fly, but not civilian ones.
Important!Good news for air travelers! In the near future, the first flight of the Singapore Airlines Airbus 350XWB ‐ ULR will take place. The flight range of the Singapore – Moscow flight will be about 15,000 kilometers.
Those who travel long and often over the air prefer non-stop flights. It’s more convenient for passengers in terms of the total time “in the air” and terminals, the price of air tickets and comfort. After all, to settle down comfortably in a modern cabin of an air liner at the point of departure and arrive at the place without leaving the transport outweighs the disadvantages of a long seat.
Existing ultra-long runs are theoretically not final. To date, Qantas plans to commission flights between Australia and the United Kingdom, with a route length of over 17,000 km. Also in the long term are the longest non-stop corridors laid between cities - geographical antipodes. They are located on opposite ends of the globe at a distance of more than 20,000 km. Flights between Buinos Aires and Shanghai, Auckland and Madrid are supposed. And during a non-stop flight between Taipei and Asuncien, 19,918 km will be covered.
Today, many passengers use the services of air transport companies. A plane is a fairly quick and inexpensive way to get to the right place at the right time. But there are flights that seem to last forever and never end. Sometimes the path lies from one point on the globe to another. People cross the equator, seas and oceans. To overcome a huge distance, you need to cross more than one state border. Consider below the longest flights that travelers make.
Hong Kong (China) - Toronto (Canada)
Airlines: Air Canada 15 and Cathay Pacific 825/829.
The flight duration is 15 hours. To get to the final destination, you must overcome the distance of 12,562.54 km on the Boeing 777-300.
Do you know why Cathay Pacific is the most popular carrier in the world? Because he offers not one, but two direct flights to Canada.
Los Angeles (California) - Melbourne (Australia)
The airlines organizing the flight are well known: United 98 and Qantas 94.
Aircraft: A380-800, Boeing 787-9.
The distance of 12771.75 km can be covered in 15 and a half hours.
A very convenient, but long flight for those who are less than 30 years old and who have moved to Los Angeles, but cannot part with Australia.
Dallas Fort Worth (Texas) - Doha (Qatar)
Airline Qatar 733 provides for the flight "Boeing-777-200".
In 15 hours you will arrive at the place, breaking 12758.88 km.
Many will agree that Dallas Fort Worth is better suited for the World Cup 2022 than Qatar. Apparently, Jerry Jones (an American businessman, manager of a Dalassian football team) does not know how to bribe the people he needs.
New York - Johannesburg (Africa)
Airline - South African 204.
On an A340-300, you need to cross a distance of 12845 km.
The flight duration is 15 hours.
In the period from November to March during the return flight there is a transfer in Dakar. Maybe travelers want to buy souvenirs or a T-shirt without personally attending the race.
New York - Guangzhou (China)
Passengers using the services of China Southern 300 will spend 14 hours aboard the Boeing 777-300. They need to cover a distance of 12871 km.

Dubai (UAE) - Dallas Fort Worth (Texas)
The airline organizing the flight is Emirates 221.
The flight lasts 15 hours, and the distance to be overcome is 12,932 km. The carrier provides the A380-800 aircraft.
Do you think the tallest skyscrapers are located in Texas? So, you have not heard about the building of the Burj Khalifa, which is located in Dubai. It is considered the highest in the world.
Doha (Qatar) - Houston (Texas)
Air carrier: Qatar 713.
The distance that needs to be covered is 12947 km, so you will have to fly about 16 hours on the Boeing 777-300.
Can you imagine people speaking different languages \u200b\u200band talking about oil for 15 hours? It is they who prove that in the world there is a universal language - money.
Newark (New Jersey) - Hong Kong (China)
Airline: United 179.
The flight duration is approximately 16 hours. During this time, on the Boeing 777-200 you will cover a distance of 12974 km.
The passengers who have chosen this flight are tormented by an unsolvable problem: why is it 10 km less to fly from Newark than from New York, but an hour longer?
Dallas Fort Worth (Texas) - Abu Dhabi (UAE)
Etihad 161 has prepared a Boeing 777-200 for passengers. On this plane, travelers need to cover a distance of 12984 km in 14 hours.
Passengers who fly this flight cannot even think that perhaps due to bad weather they will have to stay at the airport for another 14 hours, as their flight is delayed.
New York - Hong Kong (China)
Cathay Pacific 831 Airlines warns its tourists that they will spend about 15 hours in the air and cover 12,984 km.
If you are bored with New York with its skyscrapers, cars, exhaust fumes, an endless stream of people, and you want to go as far as possible, without having a chance to change anything, then buy a ticket for this flight. In Hong Kong, you will be greeted by skyscrapers, cars, and crowds of people who speak Chinese.
San Francisco (California) - Dubai (UAE)
The carrier company is widely known and is popular in the world market - this is Emirates 225.
Passengers will travel 13,034 km in 16 hours on an A380-800.
Spending fifteen and a half hours on an airplane is not so boring if you used the services of one of the best airlines in the world. Be sure that you will be deliciously fed on board, and the flight attendants in an attractive manner will tell you in detail about the rules and safety procedures. You will have only wonderful impressions about the flight.
Dallas Fort Worth (Texas) - Hong Kong (China)
American Airlines 137 prepared a Boeing 777-300 for this flight, in which passengers must cover 13066 km in 15 hours and eight minutes.
Visitors to Hong Kong can be quite difficult to navigate in a huge city. You need to purchase a guide in advance so as not to get lost in any area.
Abu Dhabi (UAE) - San Francisco (California)
Airline: Etihad 183.
The Boeing 777-300 is waiting for its passengers, who decided to fly 13,122 km. The flight time is 15 hours and thirteen minutes.
Since San Francisco is not a leader in the oil business, and travelers from the UAE can take sunbaths and swim in the warm Persian Gulf at home, it is quite difficult to answer the question why people need this air flight.
Dubai (UAE) - Houston (Texas)
Airline: Emirates 211.
On the A380-800, passengers cover 1318 km in 16 hours.
