To USA is 15h 10m, but return is 19h 15m - that +4 hours for the jet stream. However the flight to Oz has not made it back several times, having to divert to either NZ or Brisbane. Oh and remember that flight is over water almost all the way, with just a few small island that don't really cater for a long range 747, so best to check out emergency video on that flight.

I'm sure there have been plenty of longer flights in the world involving private planes and military jets. I was just looking at commercial flights.

There have been rumors that Virgin would offer a nonstop flight from the UK to AU, but that hasn't happened yet: http://bit.ly/vty2NE Actually, the question was what the longest nonstop flight in the world.

As several other people have commented, it's australia to Britain. Planes And airports exist outside the USA!!!
