The longest daily Southwest flight is between Baltimore-Washington (BWI) and Oakland (OAK) (2,447 miles).
Oh my.... a totally cool trivia question, but also one that is going to require more math-work than I can do at this hour 
I did find a 7-legger with the same flight # the other day, but can't recall the number at the moment. Certainly a run-around-the-midwest or up-and-down-the-coast (either) will look impressive on paper, but might not rack the miles that a back-and-forth 2 or 3 times might....

I used to take ISP-MCO-MSY-DAL about once a month. About 8 hours in a cigar tube.
With the flights from ISP dropping to just a few, I am not sure that routing even exists anymore.
Of course, that won't even equal DAL-HNL.

I last did that in 2011. Did SJC-LAS-TPA-ISP in 2013, I think that clocked in at 10 hours. Have done many stupider routings after decimating ISP in 2011.

I believe WN only allows 2 stops on the same reservation number. So, on a direct (not a non-stop) flight, something like ISP-BWI-OAK-SEA would be possible on the same ticket.

Now, could you stay on the plane at City C, City D, etc? Maybe. I'm not sure how they do their pax counts at cities that are thru cities for the flight number.

When I did SJC-LAS-TPA-ISP (3 of us on points), it was much cheaper pointwise to book the TPA-ISP separately so I did end up with 2 BPs. But we stayed on and explained after their thru count was off, showed some ID and all was good.

In about 2008 I did a TPA-SAT-PHX-SMF direct. Left about 7:30pm ET and arrived about midnight PT.
Still remember the FA before we left TPA: "And if you're going all the way to Sacramento... I'm sorry."

Whoa, never mind. Apparently with the new addition of LGB, it is now possible to do a three-stop direct on Southwest. Who wants to book it?

(Nevermind you could buy LAX-PHX-CMH for $136 on AA with 6:15 travel time, or LAX-CMH nonstop for $154 and 4:15 travel time
)Unrelated: The wonderful WN app crashed twice while I was looking that up.

I thought these had gone away but in August flight #1518 pops up from ATL-OAK. Stops in Raleigh, Baltimore, and Houston and gets you to OAK in under 12 hours.
There's a nonstop that leaves 5 hours later and gets in 1.5 hours earlier, but what fun is that?
