It looks line that's around 7400-7500 miles each way, depending on the track. Do they have to use 2 separate crews, given the time spent in the air?

I hope they have plenty of movies and sleeping aids. Also, will this set the new record for the world's longest scheduled flight?

Yes, it was. I remember where I saw the photo of JL 744 incoming into FLL during test flight from NRT-FLL back in 1998. So perhaps you can go to spotting at FLL tomorrow morning sometimes in between 9 or 10am. JL will be in the terminal 4 where they will be clearance at Customs & Immigrations.

Why is JAL doing this flight? I'm unaware of of any airlines doing this as a scheduled flight.

No, the longest flight would be EWR-SIN, which is over 9,500 miles.

I know it was charter flight where the football games is incoming into FLL in the morning. I am not aware of the charter flight is coming into FLL. So obviously, you can able see it at FLL where 744 is parked at the terminal 4 to get cleared Customs & Immigrations.

Here is a picture of the JAL 744 in-flight heading south-east over Nashville at about 0900 Eastern time. The picture was taken by me on-board KE035 from ICN to ATL.

Great photo, and great supporting comments from N830MH. Collaboration really does work on FT.

N830MH - check the AF forum for a photo of your namesake parked at ATL the other day.

Here it is:

A very special announcement, for a very special forum!

I'd recommend reading through the whole thread. It's a visual feast, not simply chewing gum for the eyes.

Yes. The EWR-SIN SQ flight is currently the longest scheduled flight in the world at 9,535 statute miles.


By the way N830MH, here is a pic of your namesake taken at Atlanta just after I saw the JAL flight NRT-FLL.

No and no. Firstly it's a charter flight and secondly the longest scheduled flight is SQ EWR-SIN on the A345.

Non-scheduled flights have gone much further than this though. Typically delivery flights can go all the way around the world. The longest flight by a commercial airliner is held by a Boeing 777-200LR which flew from HKG to LHR the long way round.

Thanks, I just look it up by AF forums. I will appreciated it for my contribution where I can read the flight information. I can find out where another foreign airlines is incoming into FLL or anywhere else. I'll guarantee you two that I will expect to find more new charter flight is coming.
