Longest nonstop flight in the US announced

(CNN) — Can you handle 11 straight hours on an airliner?

Hawaiian Airlines hopes you can.

On Thursday, it announced the launch of "the longest regularly scheduled
domestic route in US history," which flies five days a week between Boston and
Honolulu.

Flight time from Boston to Honolulu will take up to 11 hours, 40 minutes, the
airline says.

How far is that? 5,095 miles -- a challenge for many passengers, but made easier
depending on the type of airplane and seat configuration.

Beginning April 4, 2019, Hawaiian Airlines Flights HA90 and HA91 will be flown
by an Airbus A330 -- a wide-body twin engine that can typically seat about 275
passengers.

For such a long flight, sleep may top your list of priorities.

Hawaiian said this flight will have 68 Extra Comfort seats in the main cabin
with a 36-inch pitch and 18-lie-flat leather seats in first class -- measuring
76 inches long and 20.5 inches wide in a 2-2-2 configuration.

So how does the length of this flight measure against other ultra-long-haul
flights?

United Airlines offers a flight from Newark, New Jersey, to Honolulu that takes
up to 10 hours, 50 minutes.

Delta Air Lines has one from Atlanta to Honolulu that lasts 9 hours, 48 minutes.

Later this year Singapore Airlines plans to kick off a flight that spends almost
20 hours in the air between Singapore and New York -- about 9,500 miles.

Other ultra-long-haul international flights connecting in the United States
include a Delta one from Atlanta to Johannesburg, South Africa -- which can last
nearly 17 hours.

Nope...I think the key words are "...regularly scheduled domestic route in US
history" and this one is from Boston to Honolulu i.e. domestic.
