- Some exciting news from Air China! The carrier will return to South America in April. In doing so, the airline will offer the world's 2nd longest one-stop service. This twice-weekly operation between Beijing Capital and São Paulo via Madrid will mainly target the large Brazilian Chinese community in the country's most populous city. Let’s look at this flight as well as 10 of the longest one-stop 787 routes.

CORRECTION/UPDATE: The video inaccurately states that this Air China service is the world's longest one-stop flight (regardless of aircraft). It IS, however, the LONGEST one-stop flight USING A Boeing 787.
The world's longest one-stop, same-plane service is Singapore Airlines from Changi to Houston via Manchester at 11,523 miles (18,545 km).
I can't imagine sitting in economy for that long
I dont believe you are tied to the chair.
Heaven for me, even in economy
I can't imaging sitting in Air China Economy for that long. If they update their food and IFE service, maybe...maybe.
@@kashimokid It's a 787 dude not some 15 year old 777, the economy is pretty nice. And their food service has improved over the years
@@oogie493still not that comfortable tho
Another Discontinued Latam-APAC Route from that past:
VARIG’s longest ever Rio-Sao Paulo-Johannesburg-Bangkok-Hong Kong (1992-late 1990s)
So flight time is about 22 hours ?
I met many Brazilians on my flights between Qatar and Japan. Many fly with Qatar Airways from Tokyo Narita via Doha all the way to São Paulo.
Last year, more than 50% of the NRT-DOH passengers were the same of the DOH-GRU
@@leonardomg87 Woah that's really interesting. Thanks for sharing!
I was on this flight from Beijing in 2007. 24 hours in economy with 2 hours in Madrid. Distance wasn’t bad it was the time zone difference with Brazil. Around 11hours which took me 2 weeks to get out of it
The advertising at that time was around football and passion, Real Madrid and brazilian football , Ronaldo, zidane, figo, Roberto Carlos . Etc
Air China used to fly Beijing-Montreal-Havana too, sadly its discontinued
Havana is back soon Air China
This time Beijing-Madrid-Havana since China-Canada relationship is bad
Political flight, will recovery very soon
Air China has pretty mediocre cabin products, I really dislike their expensive but lack of privacy business class😢
China and privacy doesn't exist
Expensive? It’s relatively cheap in my experience… perhaps it depends on which country you book from.
Lack of privacy? Its China, what do you expect 😂?
China Southern is better
It's definitely one of the worst airlines from Asia.
I’m amazed there is demand for this route
Isn't the Singapore Airlines Singapore-Manchester-Houston service longer?
I believe you are right…approximately 11,520 miles according to Google great circle calculations. Good catch!
no 787
I remember that Malaysia Airlines operated KUL-TPE-LAX-MEX
The way most english-speaking people say São Paulo is funny. Haha
Amazing video!
Saint Paul
You say it's the longest at 0:14 but the title says 2nd longest. Which is it?
I'd consider the flight if it was one of the 3 gulf airlines. Not sure about service on air China
It’s the flag carrier so maybe it’s not excellent but it can’t be bad.
it's alright, been on it, SIN-PEK
I can recommend it, service and cabin (on the A350 and 777) were great.
Only strange thing was no individual air vents for your seat which I didn't like.
I've flown long haul and domestic with Chinese carriers and the standard is extremely high
China airlines (the one from Taiwan) is better
Sao Paulo is correctly pronounced SAN Paulo.
That’s a long time sitting in economy
Enything in the name of business, airchina knows what is doing congratulations.
I wonder why they're going that way and not across the Pacific? Unless they want the Madrid to Sao Paulo traffic and that makes it more profitable somehow?
Brazilians and Chineses needs visa to transit via USA, via Europe, not.
Do you still need visa if you stay on the plane?@@leonardomg87
Also there's a lot of traffic between China and Spain and Brazil to Spain.
Last time I flew BA GRU-LHR-PGV in economy... Basically the choice comes down to Europe vs the Middle East/Ethiopia for the route. Flying through the US with all their annoying visa and security is not really viable
I flew United via Chicago it was ok.
Is this route really shorter than going across the pacific the other way?
Madrid?
Yes. GRU-PKX via MAD: 17582 km. GRU-PKX via LAX: 20023 km. Nearly 2500 km shorter.
@@gustavomonteiro302 Wow! That's crazy.
Via US will need to clear immigration and recheck in then board the same plane
Air China is also interested in covering demand between Brazil and Spain and China with Spain.
Air China was flying one stop to Panama, too.
One stop doesn't count.
The video is about 1-stop flights, of course it counts…. 🤦♂️
How long is the stopover in MAD? Why would you not include that information in the video?
2 hours
Another good and interesting video.
Why does the refuelling stop in Madrid take two hours? Some low-cost airlines have turnround times of 30 minutes, and this includes passenger boarding and luggage loading.
Probably because they need to load 2 courses of meals.
Longer flight and the passengers will need to pass through immigration
@@gustavomonteiro302no, that is only the case in US, other countries dont need passenger to clear immigration and most dont even require passengers to deboard
@@gustavomonteiro302No need for immigration if you are not entering Spain. You can wait at the gate or even inside the plane.
Can you talk about egyptair selling all its a220-300 fleet
in jan/2011 I did GRU-MAD-PEK-BKK :)
Why don't they fly across the Pacific ocean?
What happened if Mayday??? The weather us rough.. Better fly north pole, safer and shorter.
Shorter distance, no US stopover.
Qantas: Nooooooo😢😢😢
They will use 787 because its fuel efficient than any type on its category.
Great airplane to do it in.
Why don't they just fly straight over the pacific and across the Andes? Surely that's quicker and cheaper?
I'm afraid no news involving Air China can be exciting.
✈️
This only includes 787. Not the longest if you include 350s. Include that in the title!
one stop flights are not non-stop i think? correct me if i am wrong.
Worlds longest!
all these years passed by, Air China still has the ugliest regular livery, pity.
4th
Almost first
When?😂
Does it offer free insurance? 😂
Why are they flying the 787 Nightmare Liner?
i. hate. air. china. you cant pay me to ever fly again. worst customer service, worst food, and worst experience i have ever had in my life. nobody beats Singapore Airlines!
So flight time is about 22 hours ?
22 hours with 1 stop
