World Longest Flight Will Be Canceled.

(10/25/2012) Want to have a non-stop flight from Singapore to New York? This flight won't last much longer. This world longest non-stop flight is currently offered by Singapore Airlines, and the distance is 9500 miles with 18 hours of flight time. Interestingly, another long flight from Singapore to Los Angeles will also be canceled. The flight between Singapore and Los Angeles is only around 8000 miles, but the flight time is 18.5 hours. How come? It is because the great circle distance between New York to Singapore is shorter than the great circle distance between Singapore and Los Angeles.
