Shortest Boeing 737-800 flight

[Seadot777 0]

I was wondering what would be the shortest Boeing 737-800 flight in the united States? I would like to start doing some short haul flight's and would appreciate it if someone could look into this for me. Thanks Corey

I don't know about the US, but in the UK, the shortest I know of is a maintenance flight from Bristol to Cardif. Its is about 20 miles.

According to Flightaware, this is the shortest 737-800 flight at 25mins.

Unless it's no longer current, a very short commercial flight is 'across the bay' from Oakland to San Francisco Int. (About 5 minutes.) Not sure if 737's are used though....

There's always the first flight trip from KRNT to KBFI. About 5 miles as the crow flies, though I think a basic checkout regimen is flown before landing.

Southwest does a lot of short scheduled flights on 737:

KSAT-KHOU 35min

KHOU-KAUS 34min

KORF-KBWI 31min

KEWR-KBWI 28min

KOAK-KRNO 37min

That flight was probably just used to transport a plane to another airport (like a ferry flight) moving planes from airport to airport without passengers.

 

But seriously, where is the fun making such short flights?

Taking off, handflying to the destination and landing on a visual approach 15 minutes later ... seems like a fun time to me

I did a Soutwest flight from KPIT to KMDW that was just under an hour long in a 738. Not a bad flight.
