Lots more besides these, but that's another show-
9/9/05 Boeing 777-200ER Hong Kong to London, 12,423 mi. 22h 22m including several hours purposely on one engine to really extend ETOPS on the airplane.
LUFTHANSA FW-200 CONDOR 1939 Berlin to NYC 24h 56m
1943-1945 QANTAS operated the 'Double Sunrise' flights averaging between 28 and 33 h using PBY's
Believe there's still a flight in the Orkney Islands that's about 9 minutes and the schedule depends on the time of the tides as both strips are ocean beaches.

My Flight 21 on Singapore Air from EWR to Changi in Singapore. I used to love the flights over the North Pole.
Almost 19 hours and is presently the worlds longest flight 9,534 miles.
I did this twice a month for 9 months for my old job setting up a securities clearing firm in Singapore.

17 to 18 hours in the back refrigerator, (cargo compartment), of a KC-135Q from Beale AFB, California to Kadena AB, Japan. Return trip the same time. I did this round trip numerous times between 1965 and 1977.
