In Pictures: The World’s 10 Longest One-Stop Flights in 2025

We recently touched upon how the ten longest non-stop flights all included aircraft traversing distances of more than 8,596 miles, with the longest flight being 9,537 miles. The longest flight time, however, was recorded at 18 hours, 25 minutes, for the Singapore (SIN) – Newark (EWR) journey. But how long are the ten longest one-stop flights in 2025? Some of the airports that feature on this list also make it to various other distinctions such as the world’s busiest international airport, the world’s busiest European airports, among others. Let’s find the routes (and the airports) that make this list.
