About This Dataset

Longest Non-Stop Flights by Duration 2026
The same routes ranked by scheduled block time rather than distance, in hours. The two rankings differ because prevailing winds are not symmetrical: an eastbound flight rides the jet stream and lands sooner than the identical route flown westbound.
Analysis

Newark to Singapore is scheduled at 19.2 hours, the longest on the list, ahead of New York-JFK-Singapore at 18.9. Every route here is scheduled at 17 hours or more. The longest route by distance, New York-JFK-Singapore, is 18.9 hours. The shortest flight on this chart still takes 17.2 hours.
