Hi

At over 16000km I don't think anyone else will be able to top this?
Qantas to Dallas will drop to second place up until the planned Perth - London flights are put in place

Sydney (SYD) – Dallas (DFW)
Qantas Airways
13810 km 15hrs 35mins

Hong Kong (HKG) – New York (JFK)
Cathay Pacific
12980 km 15hrs 50mins

Don't forget the upcoming Emirates Dubai (DBX) - Panama City (PTY) flights at 13,821 km 17hrs 35 mins which will go from first to second. This will push SYD-DFW to third.

Singapore appear to love their A350s. Boeing certainly taking a back seat moving forward at SIA.
