These Are Some Of The Longest Flights In The World

A review of airline data has highlighted some of the longest flights in the world, using flight time as the key metric rather than distance. The list is limited to journeys of at least 16 hours, roughly two-thirds of a full day, because distance can feel less intuitive at very high speeds. The article frames long-haul travel as a rare experience where passengers may feel “disconnected” while watching movies, eating and looking out over clouds from a cabin thousands of feet above sea level. It notes that while many travellers have done domestic trips or flights elsewhere, only a smaller share commit to multi-day routes that feel like travelling to another planet. It also mentions the “raw dogging” trend for completing very long flights without breaks, without expanding on logistics.
