0-1h ultra Short
1-3h Short (high majority of routes within Europe)
3-8h Medium (anything where you cannot have a full night rest considering the varous flight phases, etc)
8-13h Long (most of long haul routes)
13h+ ULH

I’ve always considered ULH to be a route that couldn’t be operated by a 747-400. The reason is that the 744 was the first mainstream aircraft (I say that to exclude the 747SP) that made flights up to 13-14 hours possible. I’m talking about routes such as LHR-SIN and LAX-SYD. The aircraft that came subsequently, starting with the A345 and 777-200LR and now including the 388, 789 and 359, are what really have pushed out the boundaries of gloabal aviation.

What do you call flights that are less than one hour?
