Two weeks ago, Singapore Airlines reclaimed the title for the world’s  longest commercial flight with the relaunch of its 9,540 miles Singapore to New York route.

This record-breaking 9,540 miles/18.45 hours non-stop flight ( that’s like flying from Abuja-Lagos-Abuja 7 times , and 14 times in terms of distance) was made possible due to the availability of cheaper fuel and the new generation of fuel-efficient airliners like the A350-900 ULR (ultra long range) twin-engine passenger aircraft that uses 30% less fuel.

The A350-900 ULR’s has a modified fuel system that can carry an additional 24,000 litres (6340 gallons ) of fuel, making an over 20 hours (or almost a day) of flying time possibly .

But why would anyone want to sit in an aeroplane for an over 18 hours flight journey ?


The answer is simply because they’re not flying economy class.
Both business and Premium economy class passengers can get a bed space or better legroom, more than one meal and snacks , Free WiFi to surf the web and an extra 200 hours of films and TV shows . So it’s like real home from home.
