About this puzzle

Commercial aviation keeps stretching what a single tank of fuel can do - the longest flights now stay airborne for the better part of a full day. This puzzle ranks the five longest nonstop routes you can actually book, and the world record has changed hands several times as airlines pushed farther. The newest entry on the list only took off for the first time in December 2022.
