Air NZ says Houston flights will be its longest Posted Image "Houston night" Flickr user Eflon. Licensed under Wikimedia Commons. Air New Zealand's Auckland-Houston flights will be the longest on the airline's network. It will take about 13hours 50 minutes to make the near 11,990km flight to the Texan city and an extra 40 minutes to fly back to New Zealand into prevailing head winds. This will be another 30 minutes more than the airline's current longest flight - the Auckland - Vancouver service, a distance of around 11,340km. For its Houston flights the airline will use refurbished Boeing 777-200s and are set to start in December. Source Link |

I can't picture Houston being further from NZ than Vancouver. I should have kept that globe. |
