Well the flying time frm LA to Taipei is about ten hours. It all depends on the winds.

RE: Air NewZeland produces worlds second longest flight.
LAST EDITED ON 13-06-01 AT 08:01 AM (GMT)[p]Are u sure SAA's Johanesburg-NY is the world's longest route? AFAIK, there are plenty of longer routes than that, with Qantas and UA both operating Melbourne-LA non-stops with 747-400s (listed at 12762km, 14hrs 10mins northbound, 15hrs 20mins southbound) as well as Sydney-LA non-stops, again with 747-400s (listed at 12036km, 13hrs 30 mins northbound, 14hrs 35mins southbound). When launched the Melb-LA route overtook Chicago-HK (12549km) as the world's longest scheduled non-stop service (as measured by shortest possible routing).

Air NewZeland has produced know worlds second longest flight from Auckland to LA. This flight first was Auckland-Taipei-LA. But the jet they are going to use is going to be an old 747, so any travelers, dont expect a comfy flight as this Jet will be packed to its maximum capacity. This flight will be about 14 hrs 50 mins. Know lets see who brakes the worlds longest flight record of SAA, Johanesburg-NY.
