United’s longest flight to or from US
United Airlines is set to launch the longest non-stop flight to or from the United States, an 8,700-mile journey connecting Los Angeles and Singapore. United said the daily 18-hour flight will be the longest non-stop flight from the US to anywhere in the world.
Earlier, the record was held by Qantas, which operates an 8,576-mile flight between Dallas and Sydney, and United's San Francisco-Singapore route (8,446 miles) last year.
Both of United's Los Angeles and San Francisco routes are operated with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.
