Papeete to Moorea in French Polynesia. 15 minutes for an 18 mile flight.
True story. The plane was still taxiing to a stop and the pilot opened the door and hopped out. Left us to roll to a stop on our own.

stl to chicago
Chicago to St Louis.....in December.....on a DC-9.....snow and ice on the wings....the pilot came on and said he was tired of waiting on the de-ice people but he thought we were ok....so it was a short flight but felt like forever.

One of the biggest takeaways from visiting the JFK memorial last year was reading that he stopped in Fort Worth before boarding Air Force One and flying to Love field in Dallas.
Its 30 miles. Thats the shite you get to do when you're president, lol

Bahrain to Riyadh, but it was a military flight.

Braniff flew from Love Field to Greater Southwest. About 20 miles. Greater Southwest was demolished to make room for DFW.

63 miles between Kauai and Oahu.
I've also just ridden in a plane that flew over Baton Rouge and landed back in Baton Rouge.

I fly from Boston to New York at least once a month. It's about a 30 minute flight from tips up to touchdown.

Wow. Shortest I've done is San Diego to L.A., which I think was 28 (?) minutes total.

Columbia SC to Charlotte NC. The plane ascended, leveled off for about a minute or two, then began its descent. Flight was 10-15 minutes.

A few years ago I was flying Southwest from New Orleans to Jacksonville, FL with a connection in Tampa. Tampa to Jacksonville flight probably had 30 people on it.

Jeez, does sound scary

I’ve been on too many to count, that take off and land in the same place. It’s actually intentional though.

CVX to 6Y8 (Beaver Island) 27nm on Island Airways.
Posted on 10/9/17 at 9:56 pm to CuseTiger
On a commercial flight it was ICT-MCI, approximately 160 miles by air.
I've flown on a V35 Bonanza from MBO-HKS, approximately 8.7 miles by air
The shortest commercial airliner flight I've ever heard of, was OAK-SFO on a DC-10, back in the 1980's.

Papeette to Moorea. 18 Miles.

Just had my shortest flight today. The length of the runway at CHS. Aborted takeoff due to engine malfunction. Not a great feeling.
Flight gets delayed 10 hours so I rent a car and drive back to AL.
