18hrs INSIDE the WORLD’S LONGEST FLIGHT (NYC to Singapore)

Watch this video to see what it’s like to travel on the world’s LONGEST FLIGHT! This is Singapore Airlines flagship route from New York to Singapore.
We made the trip from New York’s JFK international airport to Singapore Changi Airport onboard Singapore Airlines Number 23!
This video will showcase what it’s like to travel onboard THE longest flight on planet earth! We’ll highlight everything you’ll experience in Singapore Airlines Business Class for more than 18 hours.
You’ll see the (Disappointing) Business Class Lounges used by Singapore Airlines in New York (along with the brand new Chase Lounge and American Express Centurion Lounges at JFK, too), the quirky Singapore Airlines Ultra Long Haul Business Class seat, the tasty Singapore Airlines Business Class food, the Inflight Entertainment, and even get a sense for Singapore Airlines’ world-class onboard hospitality.
This Singapre Airlines A350ULR flight took us an incredible 18 hours and 9 minutes!

Watching this in Singapore 25 hours before our direct flight back to EWR. Our inbound flight flight was a dream, didn’t feel like a 18 hour flight.

[@1bluensx]

I agree. Ewr-sin on Singapore airlines in business class is a dream. I’ve done the flight 3 round trips in the past year. Love it! And love the cabin crew. I could easily be on it for 3-4 more hours

He’s didn’t even say how much he paid. He mentioned how much a generic reservation would cost. AMEX points redemption doesn’t say how much he had to pay in credit card expenses so accrue that many points. Also, he just brushed aside how he had a multi-city itinerary, so the entire “price” category was wholly irrelevant. Not transparent at all.

[@harambethegorilla6361]

I did this flight in Business class from Newark EWR to Singapore and from Singapore back to EWR. Highly recommend it and it did not feel like 18 hours… in fact I did not want to get off. A few tips: - Try to buy the Business class ticket with credit card points with Singapore Airlines as a transfer partner - Flying out of Newark, you can use United’s Polaris lounge which is fantastic - Use Book the Cook prior to your flight to select dishes you want to eat (more selections than choices in the flight) - When flying back to the States, make sure to spend time in Singapore’s Business class lounge

[@dreamthedream8929]

what about turbulece? you did not mention that. the most important part for many. it was a long flight. how was it? did it drop like the recent new zealand to australia one or any other incidents? if there was turbulence then how heavy was it and what did the pilots say if anything at all?

[@usernameisusername]

Um....

[@Clara_linking]

Given the choice, I'd probably pick the flight out of Newark if I was in Business if nothing else for the better lounge experience. Comparing the Polaris lounge to whatever they're doing in JFK is not even a real comparison

[@harambethegorilla6361]

I agree. I chose the flight from Newark to Singapore and because United and Singapore are in the Star Alliance, a Singapore Business class ticket gets you access to United’s well known Polaris lounge which was amazing. The only issue is that the Polaris lounge is in Terminal C and Singapore currently operates out of Terminal B so you need to take an AirTran between the two.

[@user-ho1oh9vr3j]

I just love the bloopers at the end of each video. Oragami sleep positioning was the term Jeb was looking for. His repertoire is well founded, but I saw his mental Rolodex spinning. Great job as always 👏

[@deborahsobel3314]

I think for a flight like this 1st class and to have that bed, is the only way; you need to stretch out. What a privilege to fly that way. Jeb, you never seem to lose your sense of adventure and fun when you fly.

[@philsflights]

Great video as always, Jeb & Suzanne. I was very fortunate to get SQ24 in business class from SIN to JFK on a steal of a point redemption deal last October. To make it even better I was able to switch to bulkhead seat 19A at check in. Row 19 does not have that awkward footwell restriction making it by far the roomiest location on the aircraft. They are bassinet seats and are therefore blocked from pre-booking until check-in. I recommend checking in early to try to get this row. That said, there is always a risk that there will be an infant in a bassinet nearby so remember to pack your earplugs.

My outbound flight to TPE took only about 45 minutes less because of the strong headwind. The best seats on SQ A350s are the ones at the front of the cabin, like 19A or 19K. The service on board is impeccable. I slept for maybe 8 or 9 hours and read for most of the rest of the trip.
