At any given moment, there are about 10,000 planes in the air carrying over a million passengers around the world. Most of those people are up there to travel bigger distances in a shorter time because that’s what planes are for, right? So why would anyone take the world's shortest commercial flight with a mere 1.7-mile-long route?

Actually, it's how you can get from the island of Westray to the island of Papa Westray the fastest. Your time onboard will be just as shockingly short at 57 seconds! Well, that’s the record time planes reach when the wind is favorable. If not, you might have to endure a whole 2 minutes if you include taxiing time.
