hey guys, I've been playing around with the research route feature to find the longest flight possible between cities and here is what i found
1st - Auckland Int'l -> Malaga Airport which comes in at 12405 NM :-\
2nd - Perth Int'l -> L.F Wade Int'l (Bermuda) = 12403 NM
3rd - Wellington Int'l -> Madrid Barajas = 12348 NM
if you found any that is longer then correct me please :D
btw I'm interested to know what planes can actually fly those routes?

Hi,
Other long routes I could find in Airline Mogul are:
* Taipei (Taiwan) to Asuncion (Paraguay) 12,372 nm
* Ushuaia (Argentina) to Irkutsk (Russia) 12,101 nm
* Mataveri (Easter Island, Chile) to Allama Iqbal (Lahore, Pakistan) 12,071 nm
The longest real-world scheduled commercial carrier route as of July 2012 is:
Newark (New Jersey) to Singapore : 8,285 nm (that is to say: 15,345 km).
It is operated by Singapore Airlines, using an A340-500.
Average flight time is 18 hours and 45 minutes, non-stop.
Best regards.

Technically speaking, flights over 12000mi aren't possible in AM. With only mmodern planes capable of flying 12000+mi, they have relative slow speeds. E.g. the 777-200LR VIP has a range of 12333mi and a speed of 481knots. This gives a maximum range of 11342mi (the turn time is 0.42). This is the same issue we have with the Lockheed L-1649A Starliner which has a range of 7194mi, but ca only fly 6776mi due to its low speed (287kn).
I wouldn't be surprised if there are more planes that can't use their full range. The upper limit in AM Lies around 11500mi (possibly 11342mi).
