The Boeing 777 is one of the world’s most versatile widebody twinjet airliners, with carriers across the globe able to put it to use either on premium-heavy ultra-long-haul routes or to provide extra capacity on higher-density sectors. In the former category, data from Cirium, an aviation analytics company, shows that four airlines currently fly the type to the US on routes of 8,000+ miles.
These sectors originate in Asia and the Middle East, and connect these regions with destinations on both the East Coast and the West Coast of the United States of America, and, indeed, in between as well. All of them are operated by the 
Boeing 777-300ER, with this variant having proven to represent the best possible compromise between range and capacity for most airlines.
Saudia Comes Out On Top
According to Cirium’s scheduling data for November of 2025, Saudi Arabian flag carrier Saudia is operating the longest non-stop US-bound flight with the Boeing 777 this month. Clocking in at 8,328 miles (13,403 km) in length, the corridor in question links its hub at King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) in Jeddah with Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in California.
Six rotations are planned this month, with the 777 operating these flights thrice-weekly from November 17. However, owing to low demand, the route will temporarily be shelved from January to May of 2026. The 777s used by Saudia on this route have 12 first, 36 business, and 242 economy class seats. When the route was launched in 2014, Saudia CEO Abdul Aziz Al-Hazmi said that:
“The new flight will serve various groups of passengers, including more than 100,000 Saudi students in the US and their relatives, as well as Hajj and Umrah pilgrims and business leaders.”
Emirates’ Longest US-Bound 777 Route
Elsewhere in the Middle East, Dubai-based UAE flag carrier Emirates also has a US-bound route with the Boeing 777-300ER that exceeds the 8,000-mile mark this month. The corridor in question links Dubai International Airport (DXB) with Dallas/Fort Worth in Texas, and has a length of 8,038 miles (12,936 km). Its frequency is higher than Jeddah-LAX, with flights running daily.
Departing Dubai at 02:40, Emirates flight EK221 has a block time of 16 hours and 15 minutes, and is scheduled to touch down in Texas at 08:55 local time on the same day. Meanwhile, the return leg (EK222) is scheduled to leave DFW at 11:30, reaching Dubai at 12:00 local time the next day after a block time of 14 hours and 30 minutes. The 777s used have a total of 328 seats onboard.
According to aeroLOPA, this capacity is spread across four classes, with the best seats in the house being the eight first class suites at the front of the jet. These are laid out four-abreast in a 1-2-1 setup, as are the 40 staggered business class flatbeds located behind them. This new seating configuration also features 24 premium economy recliners and 256 economy seats.
Other Asian Options
There are also two US-bound Boeing 777 routes of 8,000 miles or more that originate in eastern Asia, with one of these being the second longest overall. This particular corridor is served by Cathay Pacific, and connects its main hub at Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) with New York JFK Airport. There is a distance of 8,070 miles (12,987 km) separating these two major facilities.
Cathay Pacific serves this route daily with the 777, alongside two daily rotations that use aircraft from the Airbus A350 family. The Boeing 777-300ER is responsible for flight CX830, which leaves Hong Kong at 09:30, and CX831, which departs from JFK at 13:40. Its seating configuration consists of six first class, 53 business class, 34 premium economy, and 201 economy class seats.
Completing the list, we have China Southern Airlines’ route from Guangzhou to JFK, which is listed by Cirium as being exactly 8,000 miles (12,875 km) long. Operated weekly by the Boeing 777-300ER, these flights have 28 business, 27 premium economy, and 305 economy seats onboard.
