World's Longest Non-stop Passenger Flight Takes Off From Singapore To New York by Automotive1(m): 11:13am On Oct 12, 2018


Singapore Airlines has reclaimed the title for the world’s longest commercial flight with the relaunch of its 9,534 mile Singapore to New York route.

The Airline cancelled the Singapore to New York direct flights in 2013 due to high oil prices .

The brand new A350-900 ULR (ULR for ultra-long-range) 161-passenger aircraft used for this record-breaking 18.45 hours non-stop journey (under normal condition) departed yesterday Oct. 11 with 150 passengers and 17 crew .

This flight time is over 45 minutes longer than Qatar Airways’ Doha to Auckland route - the previous longest non-stop journey . The distance and flight time varies with headwinds,tailwinds,weather condition and aircraft's model.

All 67 business class seats were fully booked while the 94 premium economy seats had limited number of seats left. Both classes of seats have a return flight that starts from £3,805 (N1.8m) and £1,230(N591k) per person respectively. There will be no economy class on this route .



The business class passengers will get a bed space, two meals they can request to eat at anytime and refreshments in between, while the Premium economy passengers will get two meals at fixed times plus snacks.

Free WiFi and an extra 200 hours of films and TV shows are available onboard each Singapore to New York flight that will initially run three times a week while daily operations starts on October 18 after a second Airbus A350-900 enters service.

Very long Journey. I recently flew Emirate to Los Angeles last week and its 16hrs long and it was hell. Whereas, Turkish airline was a just 12hrs distance to the same location.

Flying too long has a very bad side effect like swollen legs, high blood pressure et al. So I won't even recommend this to my enemy.

See the world already attained the peak of aviation technology & still advancing while Nigeria is spending a whooping #1.2B to launch the logo of a fraudulent imaginary national airline with the fraudsters still seated in government.

Wonderful!

On the morning of 9 August 1965, the Parliament of Malaysia voted 126–0 in favor of a constitutional amendment expelling Singapore from the federation due to political and economic dispute; hours later, the Parliament of Singapore passed the Republic of Singapore Independence Act, establishing the island as an independent and sovereign republic.

The vision of Lee Kuan Yew still on course. Singapore got independence in 1965 and transited from 3rd world to a 1st world nation, while "Naijigidiria" is still over-developing since 1960.... Chai!
