For some reason I thought Cuba was off by 1 hour from US EST/EDT. I stand corrected.

If you are counting flying through airspace which happens to be in the same time zone, it's an almost impossible thing to determine since winds on any given day could change the flight path. Plus it's an absurd distinction - the key is that the departure and arrival airports are in the same time zone. Otherwise, you may as well rule out places which have the same time but give different names to their time zones.

Not that I've done it, but Perth to Beijing (assuming that this flight existed in the past) would probably win this one.

Guys, don't you read? The post stating MUC-JNB with 5200mi beats both routes.
I did FRA-CPT with LH at 5815mi.
Was it Air Namibia that did not fly over land for some time due to some disputes? Then WDH-FRA could have been actually longer...

I've got AMS-CPT coming up in the winter that clocks in at 5998mi on gcmap. The actual flight route seems to come in at just over 6000.

SIN-PEK, 2,780 mi
The farthest I think possible on scheduled service on one flight would be the CZ354 pre-pandemic, SIN-CAN-SHE and the SIN-TAO-SHE measuring at 3,027 and 3,028 mi respectively, on more than one flight, maybe SIN-CAN-URC-KHG? CZ3040 and the CZ dreamliner service between CAN and KHG.
