Northwest Airlines -Detroit -Frankfurt 4161 miles- regularly operates non-stop on a 757
From airliners.net
"The longest route I have flown on the 757 was a non-stop flight from Orlando to Manchester, with a full passenger load on an Air 2000 757 in 1993. We also has full fuel tanks but it's wasn't really much of a struggle for the plane. The flight time was 7h 41min but we had 9 Tonnes of fuel left on landing out of the 35T we took off with, so plenty of endurance left "

" remember once flying a Monarch 757 on a Manchester - Bangor - Orlando then home via the reverse route on a 757. On the way back the tailwind was such that we were able to make it back without the stop "
"Our longest B757 route is the LGW to
CLE leg sched. to 9+15 block time. As I said earler
we have 10+10hrs of fuel on board. So most of the time
it can be made without the fuel stop."

"Yesterday's routed via BGR then down to SFB, 6hours to Bangor then another 3 to SFB but the return flight went non-stop to Glasgow in just under 8 hours. "
You wonder why these people feel the need to lie about the so called phantom direct 757 routings.
