Probably positioning from when EI ran BFS-SNN-US flights, I'd think

On a scheduled SNN - BFS and got diverted to DUB due fog in BFS. Waited 2 hours and flew DUB-BFS.

Shortest: Probably Dublin to Liverpool which took about 30 mins

Longest: Las Vegas to Gatwick on a Virgin Atlantic 747 was over 10 hrs . However Dublin to Orlando Sanford on a A310 felt much longer !

I'm susprised nobody has done the Westray to Papa Westray hop on here as part of an oddities tour or something. Inter island Aran Islands are my shortest, done all combos over time

Done it more times than I can remember as I grew up in Papa Westray and went to school on Westray.


Longest, London to Vegas..

Shortest dublin to derry
Longest madrid to buenos aires, about 13 hours with no seat entertainment. Just old fashioned tiny screens rows ahead of you. It wasn't that long ago either

Oh I forgot about the Dublin Derry flight, I was on it a few times too.

Melbourne to Dubai was the longest although didn't feel that bad.

Shortest was probably Dublin to Liverpool I think

Shortest flight was 13 min in a helicopter in Orlando
Shortest point to point was Dub - NOC in the late 80's 110 miles
Longest was LHR - SIN 6,765 miles if you include the final destination PER it comes out to 9,186 miles [SIN was a fuel stop]

Donegal Storm

Shorted I can think of is DUB - CFN at about 40 minutes which I've done countless times, easily my favourite flight as well. Had a flight in Australia complete with a beach runway that lasted about 10 minutes but wasn't commercial

Longest would be Singapore to Amsterdam or Dubai to Perth, can't remember exact lengths but think they were around 12 hours each

Shortest: Wroclaw - Warsaw // 30 minutes // LOT Embraer E175
Longest: Frankfurt - Los Angeles // 11+ hours // Lufthansa Airbus A346

The fight with LOT was like catching the bus into town, a real commuter service with plenty of regulars on board for the crew to recognise. The on board service consisted of tea, coffee or juice with a chocolate bar and a vanilla flavoured wafer bar.

Rock of Gibraltar

Longest: Dublin to San Francisco
Shortest: St Thomas in USVI to San Juan Puerto Rico, this was in a Cape Air Cessna 402. I got to sit up beside the pilot, it was class.

Shortest either Dublin - Liverpool or Boston - Nantucket. The latter flight was interesting, it was a type of Cessna and we had to be weighed at check in to determine where we sat.

Longest was Istanbul - Bogota, 13.5h IIRC. A330.

Funnily enough I was on a short stobart flight before and I bought a coffee shortly after takeoff and was still drinking it in the passport control line in Dublin!
