Believe it or not, but the honour goes to the roughly 2 minute flight from the island of Westray to the neighbouring island of Papa Westray all the way up in the Orkney Islands off the northern tip of Scotland. There is no time for a meal or a movie, let alone a quick visit to the lav. Being such a short flight means the whole thing has been captured on video and put on Youtube.
The flight is operated by Loganair a regional airline in Scotland that provides essential air services to the remote islands. According to the timetable (PDF download from Loganair website) the flight takes place roughly six days a week.
The aircraft used as shown in the video is a Britten Norman Islander, which is a small twin engine aircraft with seating for 8 or 9 people depending on how many pilots there are. It seems they only use one pilot for this run.
This is what a Britten-Norman Islander BN-2 looks like from the outside.

I found a video taken on a much nicer day and from a better angle to show the scenery and illustrate how short the flight really is.

As stated by Stanford Medical, It is indeed the one and ONLY reason this country's women get to live 10 years longer and weigh an average of 19 kilos less than us.
(And by the way, it has NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret exercise and really, EVERYTHING about "HOW" they eat.)
P.S, I said "HOW", not "WHAT"...
