Ten thousand, five hundred and ten miles. I wonder if Singapore's EWR-SIN nonstop keeps the same flight number and continues on to somewhere beyond Singapore?
SQ's SIN-EWR doesnt continue at either end. But one of the SIN-FRA flights continues to JFK.

NZ 1/2 AKL-LHR is longer than the Australia-London flights but both are seriously long haul if not stopping over en route.
