Quoting Dc9northwest (Reply 2): I think London-Tokyo is not completely over land
Certainly not as both Britain and Japan are islands!
The flight with the greatest percentage of it's time over water must be something like CPT-SYD; 6842 miles in total, almost entirely over ocean, and over land I'd say CDG-SGN which at 6285 miles would be entirely lover land, save the odd lake or what's left of the Aral Sea.

SYD-SFO is a pretty damn long overwater flight.

Technically, SYD-LAX is 60nm longer - but still a very long overwater flight.
CPT-SYD seems like a flight over some of the most desolate reaches of the South Indian Ocean....
The only time an aircraft has too much fuel is when it is on fire.

ATL-CPT is longer, 8130 miles, and about 7,900 of those over the Atlantic
Anyone do MIA-CPT? That's 7600 mi right there JFK-CPT is about 7,800 mi

SU flies SVO-VVO and FV flies LED-VVO. these flights are over land and don't pass any point of water. NRT-LHR or SIN-LHR (or similar routes) flies all over some water.
