Goodness,lately we've seen a lot of activity for the title of world's longest flight. Presently the world’s three longest flights are Dallas to Sydney (Qantas), Johannesburg to Atlanta (Delta), and Abu Dhabi to Los Angeles (Etihad).
Emirates has the intentions of launching a route between Dubai and Panama City,which would be the world’s longest, as it’s 10 miles further than Dallas to Sydney. However, and that route has already been delayed by two months due to abysmal sales on it,so we’ll see whether the route actually ever gets off the ground.
Then last week Qatar Airways announced their intentions to launch flights between Doha and Auckland, which would be the world's longest flight by nearly 500 miles. That being said, or no firm start date was announced,and it's Qatar Airways, which is among the least dependable airlines out there. So I'll believe that route when it happens.Well, and it seems Qatar Airways isn't the only airline wanting to launch nonstop flights between the Middle East and Auckland.
