The Seattle Post-Intelligencer and Boeing Blog report that “On Nov. 9-10, 2005, Boeing’s new 777-200LR flew from Hong Kong to London, setting a new world record for the longest commercial jetliner flight.” The flight took 22 hours and 43 minutes and traversed 11,664 nautical miles, smashing the “previous record of 9,200 nautical miles set by a 747-400 in 1989, as well as the 10,823 nautical mile flight by a 777-200ER in 1997.” Pretty cool…
