if your not talking strictly North America, then in Australia, BNE-PER is often done on a 737-800 and A320 and in the middle of winter, with headwinds, it has taken sometimes 6hrs 25mins.
Next Trip: PER-DPS-LOP-CGK-KUL-PVG-LHR, LCY-MAD-VLC, BCN-LYS-TLS-IST-JED-KUL-SGN-CAN-MEL
Actually KEF is located on the American plate while the rest of the country is on the European one.
What about TLV to HKG? It is quite long because El Al has to fly around all the Arab countries. Another one is IST to CGK, though I am not sure if it qualifies as the flight stops in SIN.

I believe the longest current nonstop domestic flight in Canada is Westjet flight WS169, a 737-700 from YYT (St. John's, Newfoundland) to YYC (2695 mi/2342 nm, elapsed time 6:09).
The longest direct flights (same flight with one or more intermediate stops) are probably 2 daily AC A320s (AC1175 and AC109) that operate YHZ-YYZ-YVR (2887 mi/2509 nm, elapsed time 8 hrs.)
WS also has a 1 stop YHZ-YEG-YVR 737-700 which is a little shorter than via YYZ (2798 nm/2432 nm) and elapsed time all the way of 7:30.
WS has a sllightly longer 1-stop, also 73G, WS229 YHZ-YYC-YQQ (Comox, British Columbia, a small community and air force base on Vancouver Island about 85 miles north of YVR). That's 2823 mi/2453 nm) and elapsed time of 7:45.

Quoting ghYHZ (Thread starter): One of North America’s longest Transcontinental flights
Do you define longest as distance or scheduled time?

If the definition of Asia includes "Russia east of the Urals" and all of Indonesia, then SVX-DPS on Nordwind (a seasonal charter that is evidently nonstop) may be the longest transcontinental flight in the world at 8784km/5458sm/4743nm:

Quoting richardw (Reply 3): Are there any long transcontinent flights such as Caracas to somewhere in the south of Argentina/Chile?
None that I know of. Only BOG or CCS to EZE or SCL.
If we adhere to the geographical definition, then America is one continent (from Ushuaia, south, to Alaska, north). Then EZE-JFK or SCL-YYZ would be at least "podium". SCL-YYZ is 4.634nm (per gcmap)
