BOM-AMS-MSP-HNL-NRT-SIN on NW - 19547mi/31458km
(Which could be made even longer using different transfer cities in the U.S.)

Even more interesting is to add the requirement ON A SINGLE FLT NO. i.e. single carrier, on their metal, on one flight number.
I assume it's all the QF and BA flights from Oz to LHR: QF1, QF8, etc, BA18... = 18,000 km and 24hrs flying on the same carrier, aircraft and flight number.
Previously, it would have been those round the world flight numbers of BA, QF and Pan Am
When all's said and done, there'll be more said than done.

The QF and BA flights between LHR & SYD, while long, aren't nearly the longest flights on the same metal. For example:
LHR-SIN-SYD: 10672 mi/17176 km
vs.
Brazil to Japan on RG, GIG-GRU-LAX-NRT: 11817 mi/19018 km

OzGlobal :
Note my unit of distance - nautical miles. Aerowesty used miles. Top 3 longest routes remain as what I listed above, LHR-SIN-SYD is less than that.
That Varig example GIG-GRU-LAX-NRT is a same-plane, same flight number service. The same goes for NZ & JL.

OzGlobal:
Keno is correct. I was only providing an example of a routing I knew from memory to be longer than LHR-SYD, not trying to establish that GIG-NRT was the longest of all for the same flight number/same metal.
The earlier example I gave of the NW routing, same metal, not necessarily on the same flight number, is the longest for that category.
Cheers.
P.S. If you haven't been to the Great Circle Mapper site yet, it's quite handy, and you can display the distance in mi/km/nm as you desire.

Quoting Aseem (reply 16): and the fourth one would be AI BOM-FRA-LAX with a total distance of 9892mi
Actually, MH 201/202 operating 2x/week KUL-JNB-CPT-EZE is longer at 9005nm/10362mi.

CO has one of the longest routings all on its own metal (different flt no's) TLV-EWR-IAH-LAX-HNL-NGO-GUM-DPS. Tops out at 16,652nm, or about 3/4 round the world.

Thanks, AeroWesty,
That route is still so new to me that I haven't committed it to memory!
Thanks for the addition
Cheers,
