July 22, 201312 yr even shorter routes can be found in the middle east and gulf region. since 10 days or so i was on a 777 flight from OEJN to OERK this is a frequent and short flight (75 min) between these 2 cities. add to that flights between OERK-OMDB, OERK-OKBK , OMDB-OKBK, OEJN-HECA, OEJN-OLBA etc....

July 23, 201312 yr 30 mins - CYYZ CYUL Air Canada. It's leg 1 from YYZ to CDG. 3 hours or so - CYYZ CYVR. Leg 1 from Toronto to Sydney or Asia. Define short. These legs are everywhere.
July 23, 201312 yr Singapore 777s often do Singapore to Jakarta too (WSSS-WIII) - roughly 1:35hrs Elliot Westacott
July 23, 201312 yr United used to do Maui to Kona.....a whopping 15 minutes flight time...then after a 1.5 hour layover continued on to ORD Frank Johnson
July 23, 201312 yr I think BA's ANU-SKB-ANU holds the record at 12 mins! Ross Marsh Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.2GHz 4GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce GTX580 Windows Vista Home Premium 64x
July 23, 201312 yr I don't remember the airline (maybe United) that flew me from KDEN to KORD during the summer of 2012. This was actually the first time I flew anywhere stateside since the 1990's in anything other than a 737 variant, so I thought it was a unique experience. I remember the kids looking out the window and being fascinated by how high we were compared to the 737's we were used to. Flight was maybe 1 hour 30 minutes.

July 24, 201312 yr KLM flies with the T7 from Quito to Guayaquil (SEQM - SEGU). The flight takes about 1 hour. Other short KLM T7 routes: Taipei - Manila (RCTP - RPLL) Singapore - Denpensar (WSSS - WADD) Kuala Lumpur - Jakarta (WMKK - WIII)
July 24, 201312 yr Westray to Papa Westray (Scotland) FL370......or should that be FL360/380?.....am I going east or west? Ron Priever
July 26, 201312 yr Thai periodically does BKK - HKT with an ER. I know because I've been on it a few times. I've also deadheaded on Cathay from HKG - BKK on a 200ER. There's plenty of short routes in Asia, but the US airlines love flying RJs on routes Asian airlines would have a 777 or 744 on. Uhhhh don't get me started on the US airlines.
