Is the LAX-SIN flight still the longest scheduled airline flight in operation currently (SQ 37, A340-500, 18h:20m)?

Curious as to what is the longest scheduled airline flight presently flown in a twin-engine aircraft ? I checked Travelocity and found AI 141 B777-200LR BOM-JFK (16h:20m) and DL 17 B777 BOM-JFK (16h:30m) to be the longest?

Know of any others ?

Thanks!

COA has EWR {Newark}---SIN on a 777-300ER {greater than 18.5 hrs}

...ahhhh, but you're all missing the real record SQ hasn't come close to winning and probably never will - the shortest turnaround for crews at outports between ULH flights.

And the winner is....

Thanks P.A.

Checked COA's web site and they don't seem to have 777-300s (just 200s) and also couldn't find any non stops. Got a flight number ? Could it be Singapore Airlines you had in mind ?

Sorry about the 777 mis info---- but I could be dead wrong about the non-stop also---I just remember an advert for that service definitely COA--maybe in the past??---maybe code share with SQ??

Emirates do a couple of marathons from Dubai to New Zealand, but these probably don't count, as there are stops in Australia/SE Asia.
