RE: Air NewZeland produces worlds second longest flight.

LAST EDITED ON 13-06-01 AT 08:01 AM (GMT)[p]Are u sure SAA’s Johanesburg-NY is the world’s longest route? AFAIK, there are plenty of longer routes than that, with Qantas and UA both operating Melbourne-LA non-stops with 747-400s (listed at 12762km, 14hrs 10mins northbound, 15hrs 20mins southbound) as well as Sydney-LA non-stops, again with 747-400s (listed at 12036km, 13hrs 30 mins northbound, 14hrs 35mins southbound). When launched the Melb-LA route overtook Chicago-HK (12549km) as the world’s longest scheduled non-stop service (as measured by shortest possible routing).
