[NWA 757 351]

Fresh off of my.flightmemory.com :

Longest Flight (Distance): 2,418 mi, 5:51 h, New York (John F. Kennedy) - Seattle (Tacoma), 12-01-2004

[Optimus Prime]

Shortest flight OAK - SFO 10 nautical miles.

Why... relocate to UAL maintenance facility?

[MCM]

Shortest - KONT to KLAX (supposedly 47 miles). 7 minutes in a 747-400. Takeoff to the east, turn left and intercept the ILS for LAX, climbing to 4000ft. A lot of fun.

Longest - YMML to KLAX - 7921 miles, also in a 747-400.

The shortest I've heard of is SIN - QPG at 6 miles, in a 767, but realistically there are a lot more track miles flown than that.

Why... relocate to UAL maintenance facility?

No. The flight terminated at OAK. The flight to SFO was a relocation ferry.

[Optimus Prime]

No. The flight terminated at OAK. The flight to SFO was a relocation ferry.

Did you even pull up the landing gear?

[Dmmoore]

Yes but the max altitude reached was 2000 feet.

HMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....shortest flight I ever did was ONT-LAX on a United Express Ember120 propeller plane to connect on Air India, it was SOOOO short. The longest flight I ever did was LAX-DXB 2 months ago on Emirates, VERY VERY long flight.

[ptbodale]

My shortest flight was on May 4th/09 from YCD (Nanaimo B.C.) to YVR (Vancouver). eleven minutes in the air, block to block was twenty-three minutes.

The longest has been YVR to SYD (several times). Block to block is 15H25, however we have been up to 16H30 due to headwinds.
