In its league of ultra-long flights, United Airlines introduces the ultra-long route from Houston to Sydney last year.
This is United’s second-longest route, slightly falling short of its 8,770-mile Los Angeles-Singapore connection launched in October 2017.
This 8,596-mile trip together with its service from San Francisco to Singapore (8,447 miles), United becomes the first airliner to fly the 3 longest flights by any US carrier.
This route takes 17.5 hours arriving 2 days later after leaving Houston.
With this latest Houston – Sydney route, the airline is counting on inducting more passengers through Houston rather than California as it will attract travelers from the Southeast, East Coast, Midwest, and Latin America enabling them to better connect customers from all over the Americas. According to a report from “Visit Houston, 31,000 Aussies visited Houston and spent $38 here in 2017.
This is the most direct route covering almost all the oceanic crossing the Rio Grande from Texas passing over northern Mexico, clipping the tip of the Baja Peninsula before making landfall at Sydney.
Still, the route well short of the current longest flight in the world that commences from Doha connecting Auckland covering a total distance of 9,032 miles on Qatar Airways.

Since this is one of the longest flight passengers have to spend 17+ hours in the air and those traveling in United’s Economy class won’t probably be the happiest due to the constricted legroom and lean seats of basic Economy. On a long haul, it’s best to travel in the premium class or at least in the Premium Economy. United is offering Premium economy on all international flights. Although, United’s Premium Plus class cabins don’t have lie-flat beds still the seats are 19 inches in width, have 38 inches of pitch and reclines 6 inches for a better leg stretch, plus there’s more space to tuck in your personal carryon stuff just below the seat and similar other perks.
