It’s 2019, and thanks to the world’s largest commercial airlines, you can fly nearly anywhere nonstop.

In order to find the longest nonstop flights of 2019, Benzinga has analyzed commercial airline flight data for 2019 provided by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, flightstats.com and Statista.

The rankings include flight duration, route distance in miles and kilometers and the airlines servicing the routes. 

By The Numbers 

All of the top 10 longest flights are 16 hours and 30 minutes or longer. 

The world’s longest nonstop flight by duration and distance flown is from Singapore (SIN) to Newark, New Jersey (EWR).

This incredibly lengthy nonstop flight takes a total of 18 hours and 45 minutes from wheels up to wheels down. The flight is serviced by Singapore Airlines Ltd. SINGF.
