London Heathrow is a beast of an airport. You have only got to look at some of the live feeds from there to see long haul departures leaving and departing there every few minutes. It's easy to see why it's taken the number 1 slot.
It’s been operating as a connecting hub from Europe and Africa to the US and Canada for decades. It has massive competition now from other European hubs but the large population living in the London area support the viability of the hub.
I recently went on a long haul flight via Qatar Airways from Doha to San Francisco. The service in both airports was outstanding, so I would technically argue that every major airport that we know is great for long haul flights.
I will be flying between two of them soon, actually. Sydney (being my local airport) and Dubai. I will be going onward to Dublin, but that’s not on the list obviously. On a seperate note however, I am surprised that Haneda has surpassed Narita as the busier long haul airport. Having previously lived in Tokyo and flown out of both airports, Haneda was (and until recently still was) the more domestically oriented airport, while Narita was primarily handling the international traffic despite being smaller than Haneda. I guess the difference in weekly departures now just coincides with the airports’ size.
Yea! I will be flying out if Chicago O’Hare international airport this winter to Frankfurt Airport which I’m shocked didn’t make this list! 😮 I’d think with Lufthansa’s giant operations there sending planes worldwide from FRA and all the long haul flights out of there or should be on this list I’d think… 🤔
I rarely fly out of MIA. I’m only about 100 miles north of it but my experience there hasn’t been pleasant: long lines, crazy traffic if I choose to drive. I’m not particularly aware of what might be causing the reduced long-haul traffic there.
Alternative is Fort Lauderdale og Fort myers. Been to RSW, it does have its drawbacks but its easy to get through. But i have yet to arrive on Eurowings so i get through immigration. MIA is a hell at that. Arrived on LH462 and the lines are crazy...
I always fly out of MEL. Every time I fly for work it's to SYD. Late last year I went to JFK via DOH (2x14hrs back to back, don't recommend it). Later this year I'm going to FRA, via KUL (there) and BKK (back). Also via MCT, but that's not on the list. I've successfully avoided LHR since 2001.

You'd think prominent cities would dominate the list but in reality many hub airports are being hard-carried by worldly airlines instead, by worldly I mean the top rated airlines that offer a transit stop ticket to many destinations.
I don't know why you'd separate Central America and the Caribbean from the North American count when they're considered a part of the continent. So the count would be 98 for North America.

That's probably never gonna happen. It's been talked about for decades and never happens. BA also doesn't want it so they can keep their slot dominance at the airport.

Dubai Airport is horrible, its like the worlds biggest shopping centre, I moved to flying with Qatar to get to Bangkok because Doha is a much nicer airport

Yes, and it's so slot restricted that it makes the most sense for airlines to fly the largest planes possible.
Heathrow requires a whole mini fleet to fly there if you have multiple flights

The trip from Narita Airport to downtown Tokyo is also long haul.
I’ve only connected at narita.
We need a Shinkansen-900ULR for this trip
It's about 25 minutes...

I want to fly on the elusive 757-200ER you mentioned!
I was thinking the same. I'm sure they included that mistake on purpose to drive engagement in the comments
Nice video
I was recently at DXB and hope to later this year be at LHR & HND.
Yes will be flying out of Heathrow
So stoked for my LAX SIN direct coming up next month.
That’s awesome!

I avoid flights that long even in F or J. I'll take a stop over vs at 15 to 16 hour flight.
Reaching Bengaluru airport from city must be the ‘Longest haul ‘ ever !! 😂😂

Atlanta Airport gate A15 to runway 27R is also a long haul.
Before watching (no particular order)

Atlanta
Heathrow
Cdg
Schipol
Dubai
Doha
Abu Dhabi, Sydney, O'Hare, DFW, and SFO are some I would add to this list
I will be flying from Seattle to Nairobi through Istanbul, can't wait for it
As someone who flies out of CVG (Cincinnati) everytime I fly, I’m excited as hell for the BA flights to LHR
There are more long haul operations in Malaga, such as B787 from Ethihad to Abu Dhabi or A321 to somewhere in Canada

It is, on rank number 5 ;)
I've not been to LHR since 2006. I had a flight scheduled in 2020, then the whole world changed.

Gatwick yes to Mauritius with air Mauritius 🇲🇺
I will always fly out of Gatwick prefer Gatwick than heathrow

How did Abu Dhabi get moved off the list? They have daily flights to New York Toronto and Chicago
Etihad has greatly scaled back operations. It doesn't try to be a hub carrier anymore.

Farthest i have done is SQ351 followed by NZ284
would like to see the same video but with a definition ofnlonh haul of lights longer than 10 hours and then one for flights greater than 12
