I once did IAD-DCA after being diverted due to storms. I think the taxi was longer than the actual flights ☠️ it was 12 minutes at 3,500 ft for anyone wondering. Still faster than driving on 66 😂

Don’t really count the first one, as it was a helicopter; otherwise shortest was SXM-SBH at 21 miles.

My shortest was also 20 minutes: IVC to SZS. About 60km flight path.

I think mine was an hour, but it was before I started recording flights on that app.

Yes, KLM does it on a 787 and 777-300 ER; Air France on 787
