Your own shortest and longest flight!!!

grjplanes · September 12th, 2007, 12:50 PM

There is another thread "your city's longest and shortest flight", but it seems some people put their own on there, so I start this for that reason.
My longest flights:
DXB-AKL and back (stopping SIN and BNE)(I think about 20hours, started in JNB though, changed in DXB, total trip 36hours).
JNB-LHR
JNB-VIE
FRA-JNB

Shortest flights (under 1hour):
STN-Glasgow (prestwick) (35min)
STN-DUB
VIE-Linz (25min)
Linz-FRA
Nelson-Wellington (NZ) (20min)
Wellington-Auckland

My shortest was probably 30 minutes. An aerial photographer that we hire at work took me up for a free trip around the Seattle area.

I suppose Seattle to Vancouver and back would be my shortest commercial flight. That's not much longer.

My longest would be Sydney to San Francisco at 14 hours or whatever.
