The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a staple in modern long-haul aviation since its introduction by All Nippon Airways in October 2011, is known for operating some of the world's longest non-stop flights. As of March 2025, several routes using this aircraft model highlight its capability for extended travel distances.

Among these routes is the Houston to Sydney flight, covering approximately 8,596 miles. United Airlines exclusively operates this route with the mid-sized Boeing 787-9 variant. According to Great Circle Mapper data, United Airlines plans almost daily service on this route in March, utilizing its fleet configured to carry up to 257 passengers across three classes.

The Auckland to New York corridor extends even further at 8,828 miles and is serviced by both Qantas and Air New Zealand using the Boeing 787-9. Qantas combines this leg with another from Melbourne while Air New Zealand runs it as a standalone operation. Both airlines offer distinct seating configurations tailored for long-haul comfort.

Another significant route operated by Qantas connects Perth with Paris Charles de Gaulle over a distance of 8,863 miles. This route was reintroduced in July 2024 after a two-decade hiatus and reflects growing demand for direct long-haul flights without stopovers. "In recent years, we have seen a significant increase in customers wanting to fly direct on long-haul routes and avoiding stopovers wherever possible," said Qantas Group CEO Vanessa Hudson.

Melbourne's link to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport spans about 8,992 miles and represents another major transpacific connection facilitated by Qantas' Dreamliner fleet. The airline has scheduled multiple flights throughout March on this route using their six-year-old Boeing 787-9 aircraft.

Finally, the longest non-stop Dreamliner flight worldwide links Perth with London Heathrow at an impressive distance of 9,009 miles. Qantas began operating this daily service in March 2018 but paused during the pandemic before resuming in May 2022.

These routes demonstrate not only the capabilities of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner but also airlines' strategic focus on connecting distant markets directly.
