Shortest flight you've been on?

[GeorgiaModerate]

Inspired by the longest flight thread: what's the SHORTEST flight you've been on?  Commercial airline flights only. 

I think mine is San Francisco (SFO) to Santa Rosa (STS), which is 66 air miles or 106 km.

I've done both Vancouver-Seattle and Seattle-Portland as connections on longer flights. It looks like Vancouver-Seattle is slightly shorter, but only by a few miles.

You've already been on the shortest flight operated in the US by any major airline, congratulations

Mine is Greenville/Spartanburg to Charlotte at about 75 miles. And I've even done it in first class.

I think Hartsfield to Pensacola which is less than an hour.

College Station (CLL) - Houston/Intercontinental (IAH)

The 24th largest airline in the U.S. doesn't count? For me it's this 54-miler on Hawaiian:



Still, Muon almost certainly wins overall with this 9-mile flight:

I believe I heard the shortest flight in the world is from one island off the coast of Scotland to another, and the plane is in flight for about a minute.

Long time ago was a connecting flight from Milwaukee to Detroit to get on a plane down to southwest Florida.

[DKrol]

Albany, NY to Newark, NJ

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

Portland-Medford probably, about a 45 minute flight or so.

Usually due to an overshoot from SFO-PDX.

[SnowLabrador]

A 10-minute helicopter flight onto a glacier in Alaska.

[Landslide Lyndon]

When I served in the navy I regularly took flights from the Souda Bay Naval Base to Athens.
It lasted only about half an hour.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Portland to Seattle and Visa Versa. Usually done for connections for longer flights

[Fuzzy Bear Loves Christian Missionaries]

From Tampa to Orlando.  The company I was working flew me.  I could have driven in the same amount of time.

[Frodo]

Flying from Seattle's Boeing Field to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island (and back again) on Kenmore Air, a 45 minute flight.

Barely 1.5 hours to Orlando, Florida from Newark.

[7,052,770]

MEM -> GTR

[Lechasseur]

Toronto to Detroit and vice versa with Air Canada

It's only about & 45-minute flight

It's possible Paris-Lyon is that short or shorter, but I haven't flown that route since I was 10 so I can't remember now (when I go to Lyon it's by TGV train these days)

[politicallefty]

I've done both SMF -> LAS and ORD -> CLE and vice versa on each. I think those are probably the shortest for me.

[TheTide]

Jumped high over a fence a few times.

[Del Tachi]

I once flew a leg from Asheville (AVL) to Charlotte (CLT).  Seemed pretty short!

[Neo-Malthusian Misanthrope]

Vancouver (YVR) to Victoria (YYJ), probably spent more time taxiing than actually flying

[retromike22]

Ontario California to Phoenix Arizona
