Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is a significant airport in Texas and home to American Airlines, one of the world's largest airlines. This month, there are 23 routes over 3,000 miles at DFW, with Qantas having the longest. Let's look at the ten longest routes from DFW this month.

oneworld dominates the top five

As mentioned above, Australian carrier Qantas has the longest route from DFW. This month, Qantas has three weekly flights to Melbourne, an 8,973-mile route. Qantas also has the second-longest route from Dallas to Sydney, covering 8,569 miles. Both routes are flown by the carrier's fleet of 14 Boeing 787-9s with an average age of 4.4 years.

Next is a carrier that appears on most "longest route lists" from major US cities, Emirates. The Gulf carrier has a daily flight to Dallas on its Boeing 777-200LRs, covering 8,038 miles. Qatar Airways, a oneworld partner of American Airlines, claims the fourth spot with its Doha route, flying twice daily between Qatar and Dallas. Qatar uses its Airbus A350-1000s and Boeing 777-200LRs on the 7,930-mile route.

Finally, a route from the carrier that calls Dallas/Fort Worth home. American Airlines has the fifth-longest route from DFW, 7,351 miles, to Shanghai Pudong International Airport. The flight averages about 14.5 hours, and American is flying to Shanghai four times weekly this month, deploying the Boeing 777-200ERs on the route.

Bottom half of the top ten

A few more Asia flights are in the top ten, and two airlines fly the sixth-longest route. American Airlines faces competition from Korean Air on the Dallas-Seoul route, though Korean Air does not connect the two cities daily. Both airlines deploy their Boeing 787-9s on the 6,842-mile route. American's 787-9s are set in a three-cabin configuration for 285 passengers, while Korean Air's fit 269 passengers.

The seventh-longest route is also served by American Airlines and another carrier, Japan Airlines, which is a oneworld partner airline, unlike Korean Air. The two airlines have daily flights between Dallas and Tokyo's Haneda International Airport, a route that spans 6,462 miles. American deploys the smallest Dreamliner variant on the Haneda route, the 787-8, while Japan Airlines uses the Boeing 777-300ERs.

Not far behind the Tokyo-Haneda route is the flight to Tokyo's Narita International Airport, which is only flown by American Airlines. The airline also uses the 787-8 on the 6,427-mile route. The eighth-longest route belongs to Star Alliance carrier Turkish Airlines, which sends its Boeing 787-9s to Dallas daily. The route between the two cities covers 6,275 miles.

The final two routes are served only by American Airlines and are to two continents, Europe and South America. American flies twice daily to Rome from DFW, deploying the 787-8s and -9s on the 5,614-mile route. Closing out the top ten is American's route to Ministro Pistarini International Airport, commonly known as Ezeiza International Airport. American's 787-8s service the 5,286-mile route to Buenos Aires.
