A non-stop flight is a flight by an aircraft with no intermediate stops.
An ultra long-haul non-stop flight is a flight by a commercially operated airliner without any scheduled intermediate stop of any kind and route length using the higher end of the airliners' range. These flights usually follow a great circle route, often passing over polar regions.
From 1943 to 1945 Qantas operated a weekly Consolidated PBY Catalina 5,650-kilometre (3,050 nmi) return flight from Western Australia to then Ceylon with average flight times of 27 h, the Double Sunrise service. On 1–2 October 1957 a Trans World Airlines Lockheed L-1649 Starliner flew the inaugural 8,640-kilometre (4,670 nmi) London–San Francisco polar route in 23 h 19 min. The L-1649A was the last of the Constellation series, and the ultimate piston-engine airliner in terms of range and endurance.
In June 1961 El Al established a new record for the world’s longest non-stop commercial flight at 9,270 kilometres (5,010 nmi) from New York to Tel Aviv with a Boeing 707 flown in 9 hours 33 minutes, after trying a Bristol Britannia in December 1957. In August 1967, Aerolineas Argentinas established their non-stop Boeing 707 service on 10,062 kilometres (5,433 nmi) between Madrid and Buenos Aires with a flight time of 12 h.

Do you know what is the worst thing you can ask a flight attendant? "Are we there yet?!" Not surprisingly, they like it even less than your dad did, only they can't threaten to turn the plane around and go home. But let's be honest, there are some flights that seem so interminable -- like, an-entire-day-of-your-life long -- that even the most frequent of flyers want to know how many more Everybody Loves Raymond reruns they've gotta endure. And as miserable as that long haul from Miami to Seattle might seem, it pales in comparison to the world's 10 longest nonstop flights.
