Ultra-long-haul flights, reaching up to 19 hours and 15 minutes, continue to push the boundaries of air travel. Among the longest are Singapore Airlines' services from New York JFK and Newark to Singapore, operating the Airbus A350-900ULR with exclusively premium cabins. Notably, Cathay Pacific's service from Dallas/Fort Worth doesn't meet the duration for this list, as it clocks in at a maximum of 16 hours and 40 minutes.
The list of the world's longest nonstop flights currently does not consider one-stop routes. Presently, the longest one-stop flight is the Aircalin service between Nouméa and Paris CDG via Bangkok, with a duration of 25 hours and 40 minutes.
The listing of airport pairs is based on data submitted by airlines to OAG and Cirium Diio, covering the period from May to December 2025. Flight patterns may shift due to temporary bans, such as Pakistan's restriction on Indian carriers, which necessitates refueling stops in Europe for certain routes.
