Recently, Singapore Airlines restarted a non-stop route traveling from Newark (EWR) to Singapore (SIN) that was cancelled back in 2013. Earlier this year in March, Qantas launched a non-stop route from Perth (PER) to London (LHR) with a distance of over 9,000 miles.

Thanks to advanced aircraft with very efficient engines, more ultra-long-distance routes are beginning. There are two ways to categorize longest flight, distance and time, with the latter fluctuating often due to winds. Below are top five longest flights based off distance in miles/kilometers with a rough time estimate.

Every year this list has the possibility of changing, new aircraft with impressive efficiency allows airlines to launch new routes to far away places. The distance flown can vary each flight as the pilots will generally fly a path that burns the least amount of fuel. There are mentions of a non-stop flight between London (LHR) and Sydney (SYD) in the near future that would take the top spot.
