My shortest widebody flight, like most Australians, was on a Qantas 767-338ER from Brisbane to Sydney in 2008 (VH-OGK, QF525), a Qantas 767-336ER from Sydney to Brisbane in 2010, (VH-ZXD, QF556), and a special retirement flight on the 747-438ER from Sydney to Brisbane in 2019 (VH-OEI, QF524).

My longest narrowbody flight was on a WestJet 737-8CTWsc in 2014 from Honolulu to Vancouver (C-FWVJ, WS1863). Another honourable mention is a Qatar Airways A321-231 in 2012 from Colombo to Doha (A7-ADT, QR301).

Shortest widebody flight was on an Air India A310 as well as an Indian Airlines A300 on the BOM-CCJ route, which is just about 1.5 hours in the air.

Longest narrowbody flight was BOS-SAN on Alaska's 737-900ER. Took 5h30min westbound and 5h13min back to BOS.

Shortest Widebody: Washington/Dulles, Virginia, USA (IAD) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA (PHL) / Swissair (SR) / Boeing 747-300 (743) / 117nm / nonstop / remarks: Washington/Dulles (IAD) -> Philadelphia (PHL) - > Zurich, Switzerland (ZRH) was originally a Washington/Dulles (IAD) - > Boston, Massachusetts, USA (BOS) - > Zurich (ZRH) multi-leg flight; which dropped once Philadelphia (PHL) was added to the Swissair (SR) North American Network.

I very likely flew a US 762 from CLT-SJU in the early 2000s, but I can't verify the flight or type. So the shortest widebody route I can verify is the 3,539nm PHL-LHR route on BA's 747.
Longest narrowbody is I believe AGP-JFK on the DL 752.

Shortest widebody by mileage is 1,743 from ORD-LAX on the 789. Shortest by time is 3:40 on a 763 from SEA-ATL. Longest remains AGP-JFK on the 752 and I can't see that changing for a while.

There was a mistake : shortest WB was FDF-PTP with Corsair 744 (191 km) and not CDG-LHR (348km).

SaschaYHZ · Thu Mar 10, 2022 11:44 pm

Shortest Widebody flight: YYZ-YUL (or reverse) on a variety (A330, T7, 767, 747) usually clocking in a few minutes on either side of an hour, longest narrowbody flight was YVR-YHZ on a MAX8 a little under 6 hrs.

Shortest Flight Widebody
UA DC10 - DTW-ORD back in the day. And the AA 747 (with piano bar) on the return ORD-DTW. Thinking early 1970s?

Longest Flight Narrowbody
UA 757 - BOS-SJC (seat 1a!) I remember the captain came on and commented on the headwinds and said 'it's going to be a while' .. like an additional 45 mins. which was forever.

Shortest wide body would be Dubai to either Muscat, Doha or maybe Kuwait. Done those routes on a mix of A330/A340/A380/777. Flown Brisbane to Sydney many times on a 767.

Longest narrow body I’m not sure, I’m pretty good at avoiding long narrow body flights. Probably Brisbane to Perth. Might have flown Newark to Vegas on a narrow body but can’t remember. Considering Manilla to Brisbane next month.

Longest narrowbody flight was LHR-HBE-ADD on a BMED A321 in July 2006. 10 hour flight, the longest A32x flight at the time. The aircraft (I think G-MEDH) had no seatback IFE, just overhead monitors. Combined with crying babies in the cabin and flying through thunderstorms over Eritrea/Tigray, that was not a fun ten hours. On the plus side, flying back, I got to see the sun rise over the Nile River.

The next year, 2007, I returned to Addis on the same flight, this time there was full AVOD and the stopover was Beirut. However, I was unable to see any damage from the previous year's war, because the stopovers were at nighttime.

The shortest widebody flight I took was SEA-ATL on a Delta 767-300 (N133DL) in July 2001. I don't remember what the seat layout was.

Sydney-Canberra on B767-338ER flown by Georgina Sutton then return on same plane.

The flight didn’t take long and the takeoff was impressive.

Kiwiandrew · Fri Apr 29, 2022 9:11 pm

Shortest on widebody AKL-WLG on a 767 about 45 minutes.

Longest on a narrow body AKL-CNS on an A320 ( around 5 hours, if I remember correctly).

Edited : I didn't remember correctly, it was closer to 6 hours.

Widebody - gotta be BOS-LGA on an Eastern Airlines L1011 circa 1984

Narrowbody - a tie between LAX-IAD on a 757, SFO-EWR on a 739, SFO-BOS on whatever United was flying on that route in 2009 (A320?) and LIH-SFO (probably SFO-LIH also) on a 757.

Fun question!

Longest in a narrow body: LH / Privatair BBJ EWR-MUC.

Shortest in a wide body : QF 747-400 MEL-SYD. Went up like a rocket straight to 41000ft. Incredible.

Edit: Just remembered I flew MAN-LGW on a Britannia 767-300 but it was just one of the two stops on the journey to PVR, via MCO.
