5. Calgary to Honolulu, on Westjet is 3,122 kilometers and 14 hours
It shouldn't be hard for Canadian locals stuck between the sub-zero climes of snow-covered Banff and Bow Valley to weather the first lengthy nonstop air connections to make our list. That's because these Westjet flights see passengers transported to the southern depths of sun-kissed Honolulu, to where the shimmering sands of Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head and Kahanamoku are baked in the Pacific heat, and the vibrato of 1950s garage tunes serenade surfers on the cusp of Hawaiian waves!
4. Calgary to London, UK, on British Airways is 4,375 kilometers and 14.75 hours
Touting iconic Big Ben, the intriguing Tate Modern, the haunting profile of Battersea Power Station, and the quirky vintage shops of the East End, (not to mention more traditional English pubs than you can shake a country ale at), London remains one of the world's most visited cities. Canadians looking to hit the capital's streets should prepare themselves for a pretty lengthy crossing, with these nonstop flights from Calgary to London on British Airlines coming in as the fourth longest overall.

Okay, it may take 15.5 hours in the air, but Amsterdam awaits!
