It is no longer a secret that I love flying. For me, the hours spent on the plane are pleasant and relaxing. If I could, I'd love to spend as many hours on the flight. I also made a ranking of the longest flights in the world by duration.
The aeronautical industry is in a continuous transformation. Airlines want to fly as much as possible, but at lower costs. Thus, the aircraft manufacturers had to launch new, more efficient aircraft with the highest autonomy of flight.

My ranking takes into account the flight time expressed in hours. However, I would like to point out that the flight time varies depending on the type of aircraft and the weather conditions or other external factors.
A very long flight in hours does not always mean that it is the longest in the distance. The top is valid for 2018 information.
