Shortest RPT Flight Flown

[Matt_01]

NTL-SIX, 34nm or 64km.

We flew Moz-Ppt....7 mins from wheels up til down!

I prefer the ferry option... It takes 30 minutes and probably quicker than aeroplane if you take into account time for checkin and luggage retrieval.

My shortest one is Hkg-can, 84 miles, both Y and J on KA. It is an international flight with long check in time and lounge access.....

Ppt-Bob-Moz-Ppt was roughly the same price as Ppt-Bob rtn

But can you earn points and status credits with it? If so I can see why you do it.

Stopping in Moz, and save the ferry fare?

 

[kamchatsky]

save the ferry fare?

Ferry costs 1500xpf each way. Ie $20AUD.

Years ago I did BNE - OOL which Google tells me is 51 nm.

Who ran that segment and when?

Who ran that segment and when?

What is now known as QantasLink.

DH8's normally, in 1996 it was often a SH6.

It was part of a milk run to/from north NSW coastal ports.

There is some reference upthread.

I'm also curious what is the shortest wide-body jet flight people have flown? Lot's of props mentioned here, but what about the big jets? I'm guessing for some on here it would SYD-CBR in a 777.

Here's an image ftom a Qantas 2000 printed timetable. OOL-BNK may have been the shortest at 46 miles.

Mine is apparently CED-YJAC (no IATA code), which at 124NM is quite long compared to some of the examples in this thread.

DXB-DOH on an Emirates A380 at 235NM back before the blockade.

 

[Captain Halliday]

ROK-GLT 58 miles as RPT.

 

[JessicaTam]

My shortest is CVQ-DNM @ 70 NM. (Carnarvan-Shark Bay)

Getting to the Orkneys is on my 'to do' list.

 

[fkn_ace]

My shortest is jmk-ath (mikonos to Athens). 73nm / 136km / 40mins.

It was Hazelton. The flight was Brisbane - Gold Coast - Lismore - Dubbo. It cost $35. There was no inflight service but there was an esky.

I think back then both AN and QF covered that sector - back in the milk run days

I've done the HKG-CAN and reverse (as mentioned earlier) which is an A330-300. 74 miles.

TSA-HUN at 72 miles.
