Title: The shortest flight I've been in was from SF to Santa Rosa but this one beats it

...by a wide margin in regards to "commercial flights"  ;D:

The world’s shortest regularly scheduled commercial flight lasts 1.5 minutes

It very well could take you longer to read this story than it would to ride on the world’s shortest scheduled passenger flight.

Loganair, a Scottish regional airline, holds that title thanks to its itinerary between Westray and Papa Westray, two of the Orkney Islands located north of Great Britain. The flight, which travels 1.7 miles (2.7 kilometers), lasts only 1.5 minutes in the air. The cost of a one-way ticket starts at 17 pounds (roughly $22).

I didn't have to pay for my shortest flight years ago so it's all good. It would've been a 2 hour drive so they were like, we'll pay for your flight.. ;D O0
