Many complain about "long" flights of five or six hours, but there are those for whom flights abroad are a much more tedious affair. Ask Australia or New Zealand residents, who want to get to Europe or the United States, and are forced to spend 10 or even 15 hours on a plane. For them, a five-hour flight is a total "transit flight", in
a nutshell.
The largest passenger aircraft currently in service is the Airbus A380, which has a range of 15,200 km, while carrying 544 passengers.
The Boeing company offers the model 777-200LR, which has a range of 17,025 km, and has up to 314 passengers.
The advanced Dreamliner (Boeing 787-9), is capable of flying 14,140 km, with 290 passengers.
There is no doubt that these are very impressive ranges, especially given the fact that the Earth's circumference around the equator stands at 40,075 km.

The longest flights in the world
Before examining the longest flights in the world, two data must be taken into account. The first is that passenger planes do not usually fly in a straight line between a destination and a destination. The second is that the exact trajectory may vary depending on various conditions, including avoidance of counter-wind and additional considerations, which cause the actual distance to be longer. In this way, on some flights the flight will fly a longer distance, but in a way that will reduce its duration. These are the five longest commercial flights in the world:
