Here\u2019s the scene: a weary traveller slumps into the seat of a massive airliner, window shade down, headphones on, and wonders whether \u201cthe longest flight in the world\u201d is really just a myth.

The longest flight in the world right now is operated by Xiamen Air between New York\u2019s JFK and Fuzhou (FOC) in China. That flight clocks in at about 19 hours 20 minutes and covers roughly 12,505 km (6,752 nautical miles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s actually taken the crown away from Singapore Airlines, which used to hold the title for the longest nonstop flight in the world. Before you scroll through your long list of cheap flight tickets<\/a>, here\u2019s some information on the world\u2019s longest flight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
