You are all confusing nm with mi!!
The distances you are stating are in mi (statute miles... those are imperial milles... what british and americans use for ground distances... in roads and such)!
nm are nautical milles, which are the ones used in aviation.
1 mi = 1.609 km
1 nm = 1.852 km
So it goes like this:
LHR - SIN 5878 nm
MAD - SCL 5777 nm
JNB - SYD 5963 nm
EWR - DEL 6364 nm
So... maybe the EWR - DEL has a chance of being in the list... but i doubt it...

Top 5 out of JFK:
BKK - 8660 (A340-500)
HKG - 8072 (A340-600)
ICN - 6906 (B747-400)
PEK - 6837 (B747-400)
DXB - 6849 (A340-500)
Top 5 out of EWR:
SIN - 9543 (A430-500)
HKG - 8065 (B777-200)
PEK - 6831 (B777-200)
NRT - 6732 (B777-200)
TLV - 5692 (B777-200/B747-400)-probably too short to make it on the big list.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you to their level and beat you with experience.

25 Raivavae: Interesting, non of them is to or from Europe,which is producing the airliner which flies the top 5 longest routes
26 A360: Well, we have 10! Hope those are the right 10, and there's no error. The editing time has elapsed and the last version didn't come out to well...
27 Velasco: Thanks A360! Some of these flights are completely insane!!!
31 TR763: What about AR flight EZE-Auckland?? Shouldn´t be in the list??
32 Tundra767: How about the new Air Tahiti Nui flight from JFK-PPT? not sure on distance though.
33 A360: ^ EZE-AKL - 10334 km PPT-JFK - 10122 km http://gc.kls2.com/

40 QANTAS077: Sydney-San Francisco is only 70 odd miles shorter than Sydney-La but both flights only take 14 plus hours on the return sector, as for world record fl
41 QANTAS077: that was a delivery flight with crew onboard only.
42 Stirling: Think WAY back..... Clue. 3) The answer can be found in the Nov/Dec 2004 issue of Airliners Magazine! You'll be amazed when you find out!
43 Jacobin777: the #5 or #6 will be taken from IAH-LHE/ISB when PK start their 777-200LR service from next year.... IAH-LHE=7080 nm IAH-ISB=6944 nm if it was going t
44 Ikramerica: Concorde round the world millennium flight was the longest scheduled service, IIRC. You didn't say non-stop, right?
45 Jacobin777: I think the assumption was made for nonstop direct flights, especially given the lists above...
46 Ikramerica: Shoot, longest commercial flight in time, so it didn't go anywhere? Was it scheduled to go that long, or was it diverted and everyone had to stay on?
47 Stirling: TWA. London to San Francisco. Inaugral flight. October 2, 1957 Lockheed 1649A Jetstream. N7307C 23 hours 19 minutes. Average airspeed: 200 knots per h
48 QANTAS077: Air Canada operates Sydney-Vancouver nonstop with the A340 during the year also, that would be one of the longest flights going also!

51 JoyA380B747: Wait until end-2006 and you'll see atleast one Jet Airways DEL-EWR and maybe an AI BOM-JFK or more likely, if AI gets their new Jets by then, BOM-SFO.
52 Feroze: actually its closer to 7750 miles. As I was told off (gently) at the beginning of this thread, I was quoting nautical miles, not statute miles. The di
53 A360: This flight had a technical stop in Hawaii in one of the ways, right? Otherwise, it would be the 9th on the list.
54 EKcrew: What about DXB - MEL , don't know the distance but i believe melbourne takes a bit longer than sydney to reach from dxb. About 14.5 hrs.
55 KEno: I made this list a while ago so please correct them if you find any mistake :- Top 20 LONGEST NON-STOP SERVICES 1. SQ: 8285 nm SIN-EWR, A345 2. SQ: 76

59 Cyclonic: I'd take that flight if AC weren't so damned expensive... *grumble, grumble, grumble*
60 Gmidy: LHR-MRU (Mauritius) is 12hrs on the A343, i've no idea of the mileage involved though.
61 Keno: Transatlantic nonstops aren't exactly that far compared to transpacific and transpolar. Check out http://gc.kls2.com for the distance calculation.[Ed
62 Ge90110b1: With regards to the HKG route, would anybody fly out of EWR and not JFK just to use the 772 or vice versa for the A346? And why?
63 Nickofatlanta: Looks like NW's soon to be launched SEA-AMS-BLR route will make the list at 8413 nm.
64 A360: ^Yes! Everybody would chose JFK and the 346 for not having double excuse me seats in eco. (damn, I can't use the no middle sit on this, because of CO
