    If I had to guess my longest would be FRA-ATL on a World DC-10 back in 2000. Shortest would probably be PIT-FRA US 767-200 in '99.

      Should you mean North Atlantic in terms of distance, some wild guessings
      Shortest : YUL-CDG - 762 - AC - 08/2002
      Longest : SFO-ZRH - MD11 - SR - 07/1999

        Definitely JFK to DUB last summer on a EI A330-300. Not much over 5 hours!

          YYT-LHR- AC 763

          Very short. In fact I think it is the shortest transatlantic route operated right now, or for that matter ever operated.

              JFK-AMS is blocked at 7H40.

              JFK-DUB is 6H30

              YYT-LHR is 5H00. Quite often it is about 4H30 with the right routing.

                        I flew Air Canada 860 YYT-LHR two years ago. We were 4.5 hours over and 5 hours back. Its 3 hours to Toronto from here
