Shortest Commercial flight?

[ATAExpress]

I'd say between ACK and HYA. 12 minutes! But, those planes use Cessna 402's

[DAL767-400ER]

Between Westrey and Papa Westrey in Orkney Islands, operated by Logan Air, 1.5mi, flight time between 1-2 minutes, depending on the wind. In general, people in Papa Westrey can see when the flight arrives at Westrey.

1.5mile ?? Does it include the runway or when it leaves the ground ?

You'll prolly get a good altitude on the plane, at crusing altitude 40 ft before you finally have to descend..

Looking that up in FS9 took me about as long as the flight with good winds .

There's also LAX-SNA in an EMB-120. Not sure how long that takes exactly but it's pretty quick.

JU used to have a flight from BEY-DAM with B733 which took about 20 mins and apparently even had an onboard catering!!!!

Some I remember of
LAX-SAN
American - DC10 / 707 / 727
PSA - 727-200
Western - the whole fleet
MIA-FLL
Delta - DC.8-61
Braniff - DC.8-62 / 727
Northwest - 720B / 707 / DC10
LAX-Long Beach
Continental - 727,
as with the afore mentionned Delta DC.8, when buying a ticket on this one usually culminated in having some agents suggesting you could rent a limo and give them a break !!!
PHL-IAD
United - DC.8-71
Cotonou-Lomé
Air Afrique - DC.8s / A300Bs / DC.10-30s
Nice-Marseille
RAM - 707 /727 /732
Air France - 727, also on Bordeaux-Toulouse
GVA-ZRH
Swissair - DC.8 / DC.10 / 747
TAP - 707
List goes on
Off course the mentionned routes were not the O&D, as for instance AA 707 flew further to Tulsa, but there they were.

:O
Was LAX-LGB commonly flown by the 727? That's crazy!

[uy707]

^Yes it did, and topping that a stretched 200

Jeez! I don't see how they made ANY profit off of that, even back when fuel was dirt cheap. I don't see who in their right mind would pay the price for a plane ticket on that short of a flight either.

Hong Kong - Macau = 5 minutes

Well, let's say the O&D at LAX was rather low on that flight . Anyone who has ever experienced traffic in the LA basin during rush hour, especially on I-405, will seriously be contemplating boarding a flight at LGB (in the past), SNA or ONT to LAX, to have the safety of knowing that you will catch your important longhaul flight from LAX. Plus of course, SNA and ONT are cheaper as far parking goes, and less jam-packed than the departure area at LAX.

Jersey to Guernsey 20mins on Shorts 360/ Trislanders - 25 mins on Flybe Dash 8

Guernsey to Alderney 15mins on Trislanders

Euro Atlantic used to fly Southmpton-Bournemouth-Southampton, I think it was 15mins each way on 733.
