Non-Stop Tahiti to Paris 9745 miles 15 hours 45 min

Posted by JD (aka Jason Dean) Mar 17 '20, 11:33

And technically the longest domestic flight ever as flight originated in French Polynesia and ended in France

Air Tahiti Nui has successfully completed the world’s longest flight using a Dreamliner (simpleflying.com)

  - We watched Hunger Games last night as a kind of nostalgic viewing. I think this movie would be an excellent choice tonight -- nm - oblique Mar 17, 11:42
were there any passengers on the plane? -- nm - decline Mar 17, 11:36 1
- Couple-a brown tree snakes stowed away in the landing gear. They're fine. -- nm - Ba Baron Ron Ron Mar 17, 11:39
15 minutes into the flight, somebody coughs. -- nm - Ba Baron Ron Ron Mar 17, 11:36
Yep, longer than the longest scheduled flight. Normally stops in LA but did it straight through this once -- nm - ty97 Mar 17, 11:34 2
- And interestingly made possible because there were fewer passengers on board thus less fuel -- nm - oblique Mar 17, 11:36 1
  - as well as that published specifications for planes are conservative. -- (link) - JD Mar 17, 11:45
