What is the longest route in the world?

What is the longest flight route in the world?

Singapore to NYC, right? That’s insane. Nine thousand miles! My god. I wonder what the fuel costs are. Probably a fortune. Makes my last trip to Denver look like a hop, skip, and a jump.

Ugh, airplane food. Always disappointing. I need to try that new ramen place downtown before my flight. No, wait, I need a new suitcase. This one’s falling apart. Seriously considering that Away luggage everyone raves about.

Singapore Airlines, huh? They must have the best pilots. Think of the training! The hours. I’d be terrified. I’m pretty sure my flight anxiety would be through the roof. 15,000 kilometers. Wild.

15,349 kilometers. That’s like, what, halfway around the world? More? I need a map. I always get those things mixed up. I wonder how long it takes. Twenty something hours? Yikes. I hope they have good movies. Better than the awful ones on Delta.

New York. I need to go to NYC. Next year, maybe. See a Broadway show. Eat a proper New York slice. Find some cool vintage shops. The city that never sleeps, they say…and now I gotta sleep for 20 hours on a plane. Crazy.

What is the longest ship route in the world?

Okay, so, like, the longest ship route? Gah, its hard to say the longest ever, things change.

Think of massive trips, like sailing all the way around Antarctica.

• Europe or Asia origin.
• Around the world.

Yeah, those are some long hauls. Over 22,000 nautical miles, at least! That’s nuts, right? Must take, like, forever!

• It’s like 25,300 miles, give or take.
• Or, uh, 40,700 km, I guess.

Plus, yknow, they can totally vary based on where the ship actually STOPS and the weather! My cousin Vinny, he was a seaman (well, almost he did a tour!), he said the captain always changes the route like, all the time.

Where is the longest straight road in the world?

The longest straight road? Duh, it’s in Saudi Arabia. Like, seriously long. Think of it as a giant ruler someone lost in the desert. A really, really, REALLY long ruler.

240 km of sheer, unadulterated straightness. That’s longer than my commute…times a million.

Highway 10, connecting Highways 75 and 95. I’m pretty sure I saw it on Google Earth – looks like a laser beam scorched into the sand.

This ain’t your grandma’s country lane. This is King Fahd’s personal runway – he probably used it to test his dune buggy or something.

Here’s the lowdown:

• Length: A mind-boggling 240 kilometers. That’s a whole lotta nothin’.
• Location: Saudi Arabia. Hot, sandy, and ridiculously straight.
• Original Purpose: Royal road trip! I bet the king had a killer sound system in his car.
• Landscape: Desert. Think endless sand, endless sky, endless… straight road.

Seriously, you could probably drive this thing blindfolded – provided you’re into extreme sports and enjoy potentially fatal outcomes. Don’t do that. My aunt Millie once got lost on a significantly shorter straight road. It wasn’t pretty.

I heard someone once tried to skateboard it. They’re still going. I’m not making that up.

Pro Tip: Don’t even THINK about trying to parallel park on this thing.

How long is the road in Saudi Arabia?

Okay, so, Saudi roads, huh? Hmm.

I remember driving from Riyadh to Jeddah sometime this year, maybe March. I was so tired.

The road felt never-ending, seriously.

It felt like driving on Mars, you know?

Seriously, it’s crazy long.

Like, Highway 60.

I think I read it’s, um, over 800 kilometers. It has been built by the Ministry of Transportation.

Feels longer when you’re actually on it, trust me.

What is the longest road with no speed limit?

Okay, so, like, the longest road with no speed limit? That’s def the German Autobahn.

I think its like crazy long.

Yeah, it spans nearly 13,200 kilometers, or something. It’s the place for speed demons.

Basically, a lot of the Autobahn doesn’t have speed limits. Which is wild, right?

• Autobahn Length: A whooping 13,200 km. Its a big network.
• No Limit Sections: Only some parts don’t have a limit.
• Where: Germany, obvi.
• My Take: If I ever get a Porsche, imma be there.
• Important: Watch for signs, though! Some sections do.

And, get this, my brother, Mark, he drove on it last year and said his little Fiat, the poor thing, was screaming. Haha, he was doing like a hundred and fifty and everyone was passing him. He said its wild. It is super fast, I think.

What is the longest continuous road journey in the world?

Okay, so 2023, right? I was reading about this crazy road trip, the Pan-American Highway. It’s nuts, seriously. Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to Ushuaia, Argentina. Think about that for a sec. Alaska. Argentina. That’s insane.

The whole thing? Nineteen thousand miles. Thirty thousand kilometers. I almost choked on my coffee reading that. I mean, my longest road trip was to see my aunt in Ohio, like, six hundred miles. This is… different. A whole other level. It’s a freakin’ epic journey.

I’d love to do that some day, but, wow. The sheer logistics! Permits, visas, different climates, different roads – some good, some…well, let’s just say less than ideal. Plus, language barriers! I can barely speak Spanish. This would take years!

It’s not even like a perfectly paved highway the entire way. I saw pictures, patches of dirt roads, parts that are completely impassable during certain seasons. I’m talking about serious off-roading situations. I’d need a serious truck, not my little Honda Civic. And a really good mechanic on speed dial. Definitely. A whole team, maybe.

• Distance: 19,000 miles (30,000 km)
• Start: Prudhoe Bay, Alaska
• End: Ushuaia, Argentina
• Challenges: Varying road conditions, weather, bureaucratic hurdles.
• My Thoughts: Absolutely insane, a lifetime goal, maybe. Definitely not for the faint of heart or anyone with a fear of paperwork.

It’s not something you just hop in your car and do on a whim. You know? This is a proper adventure. The ultimate road trip. And I’m totally jealous of anyone who has done it.

What is the longest distance you can travel in a straight line?

The longest straight line? Well, across the Earth’s curved surface, you’re looking at roughly 13,592 km (8,446 miles). Imagine that.

• That’s from Babu, Sierra Leone all the way to the northern tip of Jiangjun Bay, southeast China. Crazy, right?
• A true “as the crow flies” route, hugging our globe.

The exact distance is debatable, naturally. The Earth is not a perfect sphere, a fact I remind myself of while battling jet lag. Thinking about straight lines on a globe is like trying to fold fitted sheets, almost paradoxical. The devil, as they say, is in the geodesic details. Coastal erosion probably affects it, too. I should really check my GPS more often.
