Amirs and I have been starting threads about the longest commercial non-stop flights. So far we have the 767-200ER and the 777-200ER. Lets expand the parameters! What is the longest scheduled commercial flight on the A332, A333 or the A342/3? (the 500's is EWR-SIN and I think the 600's is LAX-BKK). If you know the longest flight for any other widebody such as the 763, 764, 773, or 744 please feel free to post as well.
Thanks

A332: CDG-NRT - AF operated in summer (not 100% sure... at least it was some months ago)
A333: ICN-PRG (not 100% sure... at least it was some months ago)
A345: SIN-ER
A346: HKG-JFK

I saw an CX A330 (though not sure which variant) landing at LHR while I was visiting Windsor Castle. I would think that is a fair piece to fly.

When QF start operating, they will beat the A333 distance above with SYD-PEK at 5552 nm.
Is there anyone else out there with an A333 going further?

Quoting Aussieindc (Reply 19): When QF start operating, they will beat the A333 distance above with SYD-PEK at 5552 nm.
Doubtful. That distance is very much touching the edge of the A333's range, and QF doesn't have high gross weight versions, as those don't even exist for the GE engine A333.
As for longest route for the 767-300ER, my money is on SVO-LAX in a polar routing. Almost 6,000 nm distance.

According to a.net, the A333's max range is 5500nm, and the proposed trip is 4824nm, so it might work.
Quoting LTU932 (Reply 20): As for longest route for the 767-300ER, my money is on SVO-LAX in a polar routing. Almost 6,000 nm distance.
This is 5281nm, which is near the end of its range.
Let's see if I can total this up...
747-400(ER?)- QF LAX-MEL (6883nm)
777-200ER- CO EWR-HKG (7009nm)
777-300ER-?
767-400-?
767-300ER- SU LAX-SVO (5281nm)
767-200ER- LY TLV-MIA (5738nm)
A330-300-(proposed) QF SYD-PEK (4824nm) or CX HKG-LHR (5209nm)
A330-200- AF CDG-NRT (5256nm)
A340-300- AC YYZ-PEK? (5716nm)
A340-200-?
A340-500- SQ EWR-SIN (duh) (8285nm)
A340-600- CX JFK-HKG (7014nm)
Please feel free to correct/edit this list. This is great, keep them coming!
Thanks

Quoting 123 (Reply 16): LB VVI/MAD/VVI on 767-300ER could be added on this list?
Aeroflot's LAX-SVO is, IIRC, the longest 763 flight, at 6078mi. Air Canada uses 763s on YYZ-TLV which is also longer, at 5789mi. El Al will also use 763ERs on YYZ-TLV this summer when the 762ERs move to MIA-TLV (6603mi, longest 762ER route) Santa Cruz-Madrid is 5532mi.
LAX-MEL is now exclusively served by the 744ER barring some freak problem at QF, but was innagurated and operated by both QF and UA with the 744A. The longest route ever served on a scheduled basis by any 744 was HKG-JFK, served by both UA and CX within the last decade.

25 LTU932: The 767-300ER's range is actually 6105 nm if I'm not mistaken, so 5281 nm is well within the 767's range. The only issue is that the routing could ma
27 Karan69: If the SYD-PEK route does not work on the 333, the currently longest flight on the 333 is BOM-SYD non-stop, SYD-BOM makes a technical stop at Darwin.
28 Amirs: LY 767-300 will also be used on TLV - MIA route once the second one joins the fleet. 5738 nm
30 Amirs: I agree with Thepilot, lets keep it in nm miles. CDG - SCl, is 6291 nm.
31 Chrisrad: 7921mi,6883nm, LAX-MEL sector roughly 15 1/2 hours, shorter the other way. Did this flight once with UA when they flew direct still in Feb 2001
32 Trex8: tell that to Qatar who have 233K 80E1-A4B engined(same thrust as the previously "higher thrust" -A3), granted they may not be X versions with the hig
33 Amirs: Did SA fly JNB - JFK or JNB - ATL nonstop in the past? I am pretty sure the A346 have the range for it.
34 Simpilicity: LAX/MEL must almost fly over SYD. Straight line from LAX to MEL goes straight over SYD. SYD/MEL is usually just under an hour flying time. Obviously,
35 RAFVC10: IB or LA flights from MAD to SCL = 6637 miles (10682 Kms); SCL-AKL in the second position with 6021 miles (9690 Kms) AR flight from BUE to BCN = 6472
36 MD11junkie: AR's flights to BCN and to AKL are only second and third, respectively, to EZE-FCO, which is 6901 miles (11113kms). The flight is flown with an A340-
37 Trex8: does anyone know what the actual mileage that CI fly on their TPE-FRA routes? By GC its only low 5100nm but if they were routing via India or Siberia
38 Karan69: QF 330-300 BOM-SYD 5482 Nautical Miles, SYD-BOM is done with a technical stop at DRW which is 4507 miles Therefore longest route on the Airbus 330-300
39 Qantas744ER: I think the UA ORD-HKG is the longest for the 744 and it really goes to the limits of the plane but correct me if im wrong. Cheers leo
40 MD11junkie: Don't they use an A340-313X for this one? When FRA used to be non-stop from EZE, EZE-FRA was with either the 747-400 or the A340-600, then length of
41 CPH757: Well, the AC YYZ-PEK route is longer than that, as the above number is measured in nautical miles, and yours by "ordinary" miles. In fact, China East
42 BOSGRU: How about JFK-JNB on 744??? its about 7969 miles
43 Aviationwiz: It used to be the second longest flight in the world back a few years (only behind ATL-JNB) Now, SAA operates the JFK flight via DKR (A343), and the
44 Ahdharia: For the 744 I would have to say its LAX-SYD which QF and UA operate 1 flight non-stop. I have a friend who recently flew QF LAX-SYD non-stop.
45 Ahdharia: Some of you have posted Continental flying B772ER from EWR - HKG with 8,000nm. My question is how is that possible when Boeing states the 772ER having
47 Zvezda: If I recall correctly, when I flew LAX-MEL, block time was 15:30 and flight time was just over 15 hours westbound.
48 A360: " target=_blank>http://www.boeing.com/commercial/777....html EWR-HKG is 7009nm long. That's 8065 mi and 12980 km. nm = nautical miles (used in aviatio
49 Thepilot: Seems like we are in need of another total up. So here goes... 747-400(ER?)- SA ATL-JNB (7334nm) QF LAX-MEL (6883nm) 777-200ER- CO EWR-HKG (7009nm) 77
50 Dalb777: 767-400: CO EWR-HNL 4312nm CO IAH-GRU 4247 nm DL ATL-HNL 3911 nm This is what I have come across. Any longer routes I missed?
51 MD11junkie: No, I mentioned it before EZE-FCO is even longer than EZE-AKL. EZE-FCO is 6013nm. Cheers! Gastón - The MD11 Junkie
52 WorldTraveler: DL has 1 ATL-FCO scheduled this summer w/ a 764. it's 4376 nm.
53 Thepilot: My bad. The updated list... 747-400ER- SA ATL-JNB (7334nm) Current: QF LAX-MEL (6883nm) 777-200ER- CO EWR-HKG (7009nm) 777-300ER- AF CDG-SCL (6291nm)
54 SunriseValley: The Boeing payload/ range chart shows about 5200nm in still air for a passenger ready aircraft with a full passenger load[Edited 2006-01-19 05:05:58]
55 SunriseValley: CO are flying both legs eastbound and thus picking up the advantage of a +40K westerly wind which converts into about 6500nm in still air. They can d
56 SunriseValley: Again this is still air; with a 40k head wind when westbound the still air distance is close to 7500nm . With all these distances they should be conv
57 SunriseValley: They must be weight restricted westbound . From the payload/ range table it looks like their passenger load would be about 230.
58 MD11junkie: What about the A310? AR's A310-300/ET on EZE-JFK did 4590nm. --no longer served with A310-300/ET-- Cheers! Gastón - The MD11 Junkie
59 Karan69: Air Indias 310s did BOM-FCO-MAN, Now their longest route might be BOM-DEL-HKG-SEL, and BOM-BKK-KIX/NRT, no idea abt the distances,
60 AirGabon: The AF flight CDG-SCL-CDG, nonstop, is operated by a B772ER and not a B773ER and is 7245 miles. Flight time: 14.00 hours
61 Chrisrad: Which is flown by a A346 with one stop 747-400(ER) QF LAX-MEL (6883nm) 777-200ER- CO EWR-HKG (7009nm) 777-300ER- AF CDG-SCL (6291nm) 767-400- DL ATL-
62 A360: I don't think the JNB-ATL leg was ever operated nonstop. A 744 wouldn't have range for that. For that reason, I think it shouldn't be included in the
63 Amirs: How about 747-200? LY flew that plane on TLV - JFK, YYZ, YUL, BKK up until six months ago.
65 ThaiAggie: AY's HEL-SIN makes a stop at BKK. So may be it's HEL-BKK for MD-11? or BKK-ZRH??
66 Thepilot: Yeah, I kind of figured that. For longest Tri-Jet flights, did any fly from the US to HKG? I have a Kai Tak video and I seem to remember some US Tri-
67 MD11junkie: As said AirGabon, AF406 (CDG-SCL) is operated by a 777-200ER. Cheers! Gastón - The MD11 Junkie[Edited 2006-01-20 07:04:28]
68 WorldTraveler: on the L10, DL operated PDX-SEL (it was the old airport) on an L1011-500 at 4596 nm and DFW-FRA on an L1011-250 at 4469 nm. DL flew the MD-11 from LAX
69 Klyk1980: Thepilot, I think ORD-HKG is longer than LAX-MEL.
70 AirCanada014: When summer 2006 comes real close AC will be starting YYZ to PVG using A340-300 and thats 6176nm very close to AC YYZ-HKG at 6787nm using A340-500.
71 BSBIsland: Varig flies GRU-LAX nonstop with the MD-11 (5350nm)
72 A360: I think that Air Madrir flies MAD-EZE-MAD(10062 km/6252 mi/5433 nm) nonstop using an A330-200. If so, it would be the longest nonstop both ways A330-2
73 Dalb777: According to The Great Circle Mapper: ORD-HKG 6773 nm LAX-MEL 6883 nm
74 Boysteve: Whynot fly directly over SYD? Aircraft overfly MAN at 30,000+ feet all the time? Don't you think it ironic that the A332 has a longer range than the
75 MD11junkie: AF278 CDG-NRT are operated by both a 777-200ER and a 777-300ER. Cheers! Gastón - The MD11 Junkie
76 Thepilot: Looks like we have been moved to polls and preferences.
77 Cedars747: I flew BUE-FCO on board Alitalia MD11 in 1996 and it was one of my longest non stop flight. Alex!!!
78 Thepilot: Didn't TWA fly the L-1011 across the pond from STL? I could easily be wrong on this one...
79 DavidJ: Flew Madrid - Montevideo in July on an Airbus A340-300 with IB. Great Circle Mapper states the distance to be 6166nm. David
80 MD11junkie: No, that's MILES not Nautical miles. MAD-MVD is actually, 5358nm. Yes! I remember flying EZE-FCO on "Leonardo Da Vinci", one of AZ's MD11. So, EZE-FC
