So I was wondering, what's the longest non-stop flight you can take? I'd imagine it's a flight between 2 cities that are on exact opposite sides of the globe, right? Turns out the answer is Singapore Airlines' flight SQ21 from Newark, New Jersey to Singapore. It's a 10,314 mile, 18 hr 40 min trip. It doesn't say which direction the route takes though. East? West? Over the north pole?
Interestingly, the second longest flight is from Los Angeles to Singapore at 18 hrs 10 min. Half an hour shorter from the other side of the US.
