shortest international scheduled flight?
I was sitting on my 103 mile flight from Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia to Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei this week and wondered, could this possibly be the shortest international flight out there in C class?
we managed to get a meal served in about 20 minutes of flying =)
Any other ideas of shorter flights out there?

Perhaps, not Buzz-worthy, and definitely no meal - but SEA-YYJ (Victoria, BC) is 98 miles. AMS-BRU also measures the same 98 miles (non-stop service on KL).

It's operated twice a week on Sunday and Monday (NRN-MST is operated on Wednesday and Friday) and is originally a positioning flight, but they really sell tickets for it (starting at 19 each way including taxes).

Logan Air:
Westray-Papa Westray 2 min.
(Northern Scotland)
More intriguing is Westray-Kirkhall 18 min.
and costs about only $10, flies twice daily, eligible for BA/oneworld.

Bombay-Pune (bom-pnq)80-100KM as the crow flies, served in 35 mins by IC,9W,S2. Used to be an alternative when it used to take 4-5 hrs by road, now with a new highway things are down to max 2 hrs.

Shortest/longest flight topics are generally Travelbuzz fodder, so I'll move this one here.
(I will say that a topic of 'shortest/cheapest flight to achieve 500/1000/1250/3750 mile minimums for mileage accumulation could be MilesBuzz appropriate)
