Your shortest and longest flights (distance)

[transitfan]

This has probably been done before, but haven't seen it in awhile, so...

I used the Great Circle Mapper http://gc.kls2.com/ to determine the distances (actual miles)

Shortest:

CLT-FAY (118 miles) 3/23/76 Piedmont 732 (an intermediate stop, my ultimate destination was ORF)

Next shortest: CMI-ORD (135 miles) 7/1/87 Britt Air (flying as Continetal Connection) F-27


Longest:

LAX-HNL/HNL-LAX 7/27/90 8/4/90 2x UA DC-10

Next longest: JFK-LAX/LAX-JFK numerous times

I would've never imagined HNL was further away from LAX than JFK! Especially considering that NY is 3 time zones away from LA, while Honolulu is only 2. I guess there is a bigger north/south separation between LAX/HNL than LAX/JFK.

My shortest flight wasn't really that short, DEN-ORD (2 hour duration). My longest flight has been from DEN-FRA about 4800 miles (9-10 hour duration).

But one time we had to fly over ATL due to storms in the Ohio Valley region, so it extended it to 1137 nm.

[scottkin]

My shortest is Washington Natl to Bwi...Longest with stops along the way...Bwi to Kadena Okinawa..I felt bad for 3 days after that one.

[leonard320]

My longest filght was from DFW-LGW on AA in a 767 at 4146 nm. I was only 7 at the time so I can't remember the variant.

My shortest was on MQ (American Eagle) on a ATR 72 at 167nm.

These were both when i was 7 so I can't remember the details. However the shortest flights I do remember is LTN-DUB on FR's 738's. This is 235nm.

Thanks

Shortest flight 158 km, 0:45 h, FRA - STR on Oct 9th 2003 with a Dash 8 shortest flight time Trat - Bangkok 0:35 h on Oct 18th 2008 ATR 72 longest flight in time and distance 17:35 h, 13.963 km, New York (John F. Kennedy) - Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi), on 24.08.2007 with A340-500

Hmm...

Shortest would have been numerous flights from CGP/VGEG to CXB/VGCB - 56mi, always in a F27 with Biman.

Longest would be HEL/EFHK - LHR/EGLL -DXB/OMDB - DAC/VGZR, total 6773.
HEL - LHR - 1151 mi - BA Trident
LHR - DXB - 3421 mi - Biman 707
DXB - DAC - 2201 mi - Biman 707

Interesting part of the LHR-DXB-DAC was that I spent most of the LHR-DXB segement in the cockpit, including being *alone* at one point, and sitting in the left hand seat. I was 8 at the time... Incredible flight in every way, only about 30% capacity on the aircraft.
