How to distinguish long haul and short haul?

[flydreamer]

Dear Pilots.
I am a beginner for aviation and aircraft.
I wound to know how to distinguish a long haul and short haul?
Does it depend on flying hours or flying miles?
Thanks.

From Enc. Britannica:

"When commited to long haul one hauls longer than the one proceding with shorter hauling ."

Flydreamer,

According to our company expense manual, "long haul" is deemed to be a flight over 6 hours. We must use economy for anything under this. And no, we can't to an indirect to "make" more hours!!:{

From a UK H of C committee report:Modern passenger airliners are of two basic types:


(a) short-haul narrow-bodied aircraft which generally carry between 50 and 200 passengers up to about 3,000 miles (or some 6 hours flying time) and have one central aisle with seats distributed in single, double or triple bank rows on either side; and
(b) long-haul wide-bodied aircraft which typically carry between 250 and 450 passengers over longer distances of up to about 8,000 miles[86] (or some 14 hours flying time) and have two cabin aisles with double or triple bank seat rows on the outer sides and rows of four, five or six seats between the aisles.

Short haul, one call of nature: long haul, two or more.
