What is the longest flight (in terms of distance) in the flight schedule?

The longest I was able to find was AF077, Papeete French Polynesia (NTAA) to Paris-De Gaulle France (LFPG) which covers 9,773nm (great circle distance) and PFPX says 17:22 Air Time.

Awesome, when I search for the flight I see the 3 Legs, but question...How do I get from De Gaulle back to Papeete?? Seems either leg 3 is flipped or I'm missing something.

At this point, there isn't a longer flight (by distance)!
