Longest Narrowbody flight duration (non-stop)?

Rex · 02-24-2010, 03:31 PM

Hello guys.

Does anyone know where I can get a list of the longest narrowbody flight, listing durations and what equipments is being used?

I was just interested about this as I have some *fantasy* flights with QR (I plan to go to Dubai and Doha for a visit, before continuing to Manila, Philippines). This is a chance to try out Qatar Airways, that has just announced a couple weeks ago that it's inaugurating flights from CPH-DOH. I was checking the equipment used on this leg, and it turned out to be an A319. (the A319LR is capable of flying 5600NM, CPH-DOH is only 2400NM) Let's see what the market demand will show when we get there, but so far listed on this new route is the narrowbody A319. It will be a tight ride.

*Not yet decided yet what airline to use*

PS: If you have any long flights using a narrowbody aircraft, what was your longest flight?

.... CPH-DOH. ... A319. ...

Not unusual, they fly TXL-DOH on A320s...

My bet would be on the 752WL, eg. CO's EWR-JFK (3458 nm GC), or IIRC, NW used to do DUS-DTW (3519 nm). I never had to take either of them, my longest flight on a narrowbody must have been SFO-CLT on an A321, which was rather comfy. More so than the densely configured A333 on the connecting flight back home anyway.

guess you mean something else than JFK, which is only 18 nm from EWR

As long a it is a B757 or A320 I could survive also longer legs, the real scary thing are long flights on these wannabe jets like CRJ200 or ERJ145. And I heard in the US they have a lot of these kind of flights

. For me a 2 hour CRJ flight is longer (longer pain) than a 6 hours flight on a real jet.

My longest would be Belfast to New York on a 752-2760 NM

Malev used to have charter/ seasonal flights from Budapest to BKK, but it stopped-over somewhere in the Middle East. It was operated by 737-800 equipment.

PrivatAir operates all-business class flights on behalf of LH, KL and I think also SR between Europe and N. America. They are all nonstop, and operated with either 737-700 or 737-800.

ANA has a BusinessJet service with Business and Economy seats on 737-700ERs which regularly flies between Tokyo and India.

Do those QR flights have the usual business and economy seat configuration? I reckon AF also operates A319s on its Dedicate services between France and some exotic premium destinations, with mostly business seats, but also with econ.

edit:
NH: NRT-BOM
AF Dedicate: Paris to Jeddah, Riyadh, Malabo, Nouakchott, N'Djamena, Port Harcourt
PrivatAir: ZRH-EWR (LX), IAH-AMS (KL), from FRA on behalf of LH = Bahrain, Dammam, Kuwait, Pune, Khartoum; from MUC = Cairo, Tashkent, Tehran, Tel Aviv

Privatair has done PNQ-FRA with LH flight no. on a A319LR. This is about 4156 miles....

I meant TXL-EWR (first wrote TXL-JFK, noticed something was wrong, and made it even worse

).

... 3614 nm (to compare apples with apples).

Rex, did your question imply all-business-class flights?

Malev used to do charter flights to Phuket: BUD-AUH/DXB-BKK-Phuket. Frame was a 738, you're right.

BA, LCY-JFK? Long enough?

(nitpick on) Only JFK-LCY is non-stop. (nitpick off).

Still certainly shorter than EWR-TXL...

Indeed, it stops somewhere in Ireland.

I saw a picture of Moscow-Domodedovo and there was a QR A321 at a gate. I also see that they use A320s to TXL.

3196 nm.

Rex, did your question imply all-business-class flights?

ANA has two configurations for the 737-700ER: one with 38 business seats and another with 44 (business + economy).
https://www.ana.co.jp/be/eng2/int/in...0er/index.html
I believe PrivatAir doesn't have an economy section.

Anyway, the all-C 737 flies to BOM on Thu and SUN. The rest of the week, it is operated with the two-class 737-700ER.

PNQ-FRA, 3609NM, yeah that's about right.

Actually no, It was both, either ALL-Business or regular tourist/leisure flights.

I flew DTW-DUS once with NW (757), sadly this route was cancelled some time ago. It was somehow strange for me , flying a transatlantic route in a narrowboy jet...comfort was okay, though.
