EWR - SIN is 9534 miles
BKK - JFK is 8677 miles
BKK - LAX is 8270 miles
(distances according the Great Circle Mapper)
So SQ had still the longest commercial non-stop flight from EWR - SIN. For Bangkok - New York, there is an old trip report available: Trip Report: TG 790 BKK-JFK U

My personal longest was ATL-ICN on a DL 777, in coach, 14.5 hours followed by a 1.5 hour wait in immigration because multiple widebodies from China landed just before we did.

I've done YYZ-HKG, ORD-HKG, etc, and felt okay.
But ATL-JNB feels extremely long. I can't fathom flying longer than that, and I can't believe there are flights longer than that. Good thing DL flies 9-abreast 777. I wonder if they'd dare to go high-density on such a long route.

Interesting mix of two Boeings and two Airbuses, which continues further down the list. I know in Y I would prefer to be on A350 or A380. I wouldn't even consider a 10/row 777 or 9/row 787 on such long flights, but I've got broad shoulders. I'm guessing in terms of costs to the airlines, the 350 and 787 are better than the other two? Be interesting to see how that space looks in a few years time.

I flew JFK-BKK one time. Even then, EWR-SIN was longer. The BKK flight was about 17 hours polar route. JFK-BKK took off around noon IIRC. We flew in summer so they entire flight was in day light.
