long-haul flight
Overseas air travel
A long-haul flight covers a great distance, typically crossing continents or oceans and lasting eight hours or more.
The term distinguishes these journeys from short-haul domestic routes: The long-haul flight from London to Sydney took over twenty hours.
Long-haul travel brings concerns about jet lag, deep vein thrombosis, and the endurance required for economy seating.
