How far can a commercial jetliner fly without refueling?
i flew from chicago to tokyo nonstop. it took like 13 hours. we didnt stop for fuel so i know that a 777 can fly for at least 13 hours fully loaded. now i have a flight from dallas to hongkong which is a much longer flight. i am wondering how far a plane can fly without refueling or what is the record?

The record for the longest commercial flight is from Newark to Singapore, a distance of 16,600 km on a Singapore Airlines Airbus A340-500 which takes 18hr. 40min.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-stop_flight

It's actually not much longer a flight. And of course how far a jetliner can fly without refueling depends on the aircraft type and the loading.
