How long is a short airplane flight? (home, movies)

[Corey the Otter]

I'd say anything under 2 hours, takeoff to touchdown. How about you?

While a short-haul flight is one of up to 3 hours in duration, there are plenty of flights that take less than an hour.
( Medium-haul flights take 3-6 hours. A long-haul flight runs for 6-12 hours, whilst an ultra-long-haul flight is in the air for over 12 hours.)

FYI:
The record holder for the world's shortest commercial flight is scheduled for just 90 seconds. In good conditions, Loganair's 1.7-mile jaunt between the Scottish islands of Westray (population: 640) and Papa Westray (population: 72) in the Orkneys, off the north coast of the mainland, can take under a minute.

I'm good with anything upto 4 hours. That's London to Greece or the Canaries. That would be short haul for me.

I live in Malaysia but I'm originally from Massachusetts. A visit home can take anywhere from 21-40 hours, depending on the layovers and direction I'm flying. The longest non stop flight I've taken was probably about 15 hours, from Hong Kong to Chicago or Dallas.

A few years ago, I had a job here in Kuala Lumpur that require a considerable amount of air travel around the region. One of my business trips was to Sydney and my coworkers who also went there would often complain about how long the flight was. For me, the 8 hour flight meant I got a nap and a couple of dumb movies.

So I'm going to argue that anything over 8 hours is long.

For me, 2 hours or less.

[SEAandATL]

Same, 2 hrs or less. I live in Atlanta so a flight to Miami, Chicago, or NYC.

[Suesbal]

As short as a long walk off of a short pier.

[ben young]

If I can fly out and back with 40% reserve its short. Much of my flying is such.

[Threestep2]

From start to arrival if you do not make a landing.

They’re all short flights when I am at the controls. If I had my way I’d only land to refuel. Lol
