Air travel is one of human’s greatest inventions, as it can take us anywhere in the world over seas and mountains in a matter of hours. 

Many times to reach a distant destination we need to change one or two return flights and board different planes, waiting for many hours at airports. However, the following is a list of the 10 largest direct flights in the world that are being operated — or will take place soon. And when it comes to long-haul flights, we talk about over 17 hours on the same plane from New York to Singapore, and Auckland to Doha and Dubai etc.

Think about how many movies you can watch on a flight like this or how many books you can read! 

Flights are sorted by distance, as this measurement remains constant, in contrast to flight time, which may vary depending on the season, weather and airport conditions at different times of the year.
