Get Comfortable: United Airlines’ Longest Routes For June 2023

Star Alliance carrier United Airlines is operating some lengthy routes these days, taking its fleet of 787 Dreamliners both transpacific and transatlantic. Indeed, the airline's longest service has an average outbound duration of more than 16 hours. So, with multiple hubs scattered across the continental United States, this video will take an in-depth look at United Airlines' five longest routes by distance - so, let’s get started!

I have fueled UA 188 almost every other week. The amount of fuel these take off with is just insane. The 787 has become more than just a 767 replacement, it has totally outdone it in every way. I also love the 787's Comet - like nose. Inside they are also a big leap over the 767.

I remember as a young avgeek from Singapore, United launching non-stop flights to SFO back in the day was a huge deal for me, as i had not spotted many planes from US airlines up to that point. United and Delta did fly intra-asia services to Singapore from their Tokyo hubs, but they always operated at dark hours. I did go down to Changi to spot the first UA2 departure, thinking about the long journey those passenger had ahead.

UA has gone all in the 787. Works well for their network, especially when the extended range of the 9 and 10 are released.

My outbound for SFO to Singapore this fall is scheduled 17hr and 40mins!!!!

Also operate some long 757 flights! Flew them back from Edinburgh to O'hare. Not a bad flight for a single aisle craft!

Did the SFO-MEL route in December, it was about 16 hrs and topped the list of my longest flights ever. Brutal

I've done that MEL-LAX route with United and didn't know it was their fourth longest flight. It's a very long flight coming back (around 15-16hrs), but going over is quick (around 13-14hrs)

3:14 SFO-MEL to be upgauged to a B77W beginning in the fall of 2023.

I flew SFO-SIN last year... on SQ A350. It's way better than UA. SQ also operate twice daily on the same route.

Just did SFO-MEL this year. My first trip to Australia. Later I went to Perth and then further to Exmouth to see the total solar eclipse.

What was happening on ethiopian airline flights yesterday 603 Dubai-Addis

Flying from Melbourne to SFO in December but it's on a 777-300 ER not a 787-9. Wonder when they're making this change

I fly from SFO-SIN and back once a month. I’ve gotten so used to it the duration doesn’t even faze me. Free inflight wifi helps pass the time.

Flew the SFO-SIN route back in December 2018 (I think) on their 787s. While, I really love the 787s: being how quiet and modern they are. But, man, that 3-3-3 economy layout can really feel cramped after a while. Would much prefer the A350 if given the chance.

[danjberg]

I flew SFO-SIN in March on Singapore’s A350-900. (Had the 900ULR on return leg.) Only 17.5 hours outbound and 14.5 hours inbound. 😂
Wish I had flown United instead. The A350 is “ok” but the 787 is better IMO and the service/food on United had to have been better than the not-so-great food and lackluster service on Singapore. (Premium economy both ways.) Next week is AUS-CDG on AA 787 outbound then BA A350 inbound - business class both ways - I’ll be able to really compare the equipment.

United has an impressive route system. This list doesnt even include their longest route IAH-SYD because its seasonal. I believe that one is right around 17 hours out bound, just a little bit longer than SFO-SIN.

[juanjosellanoscastro]

Yes, from SFO on UA29 to SIN !! It was longer than 16 hours but confortable…

[karlossargeant]

I'm watching this Aviation Video Topic on United Airlines Routes which I'm watching right now on this Channel I hope to fly with them in the upcoming future God's Willing Awesome Video!!!!
