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

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.

[@lutherfoust5483]

@@AviationDirection I thought he did. He mention how much he paid with cash and much his wife paid with points. He said $3,375.30 one way. I flew business class from Atlanta to Phuket round trip for $6668.45. What I am confused about is the route. Russia doesn't allow (now because of the war) flights over Russia. Also I think NYC to Singapore should have been an western direction and not eastern.

[@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

[@MrOoofah]

I’m fascinated by the logistical challenges. 1. How does Singapore staff this flight? Are there rotating FA’s? 2. Meals- with a la carte meals available, how do they know which meals to stock? At least “book the cook” helps them in this regard. My oldest brother lives in Maui and my younger brother in Sydney. I live in Miami and always break up the flights to visit them , as I would rather sleep in a comfortable hotel than get just 4-5 hours of fitful sleep on a jet. I’d rather dine in a cozy restaurant than have airplane meals. Plus breaking up a very long trip reduces jet lag. And I do travel business class for all international travel.

I read somewhere that on these long non stops yes. They carry two flight crew and two FA and there is a crew rest area where they go and sleep.

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.

[@leops1984]

Just one correction on the route. As far as I know, nowadays these flights from New York to Singapore always cross the Atlantic and fly over the European and Asian continents. The previous routes over the North Pole and the Pacific required using Russian airspace... which Singapore Airlines does not use.

You’re correct!

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.

[@EfficientRVer]

In 1999, I spent 22 hours on a 747. Yes, there was a fuel stop for an hour where other people connectd to it, but after having gotten off the plane at the stop in the other direction, I wasn't about to make that mistake again. Gate agents and security in Singapore assumed you were suspicious if you reboarded your flight without baggage. Anyway, Brisbane-Singapore-London. 7+1+14 hours. Westbound, we went over Moscow, while eastbound we went over Iran. I'm OK with a direct flight with one stop, on a super long flight. Burning more fuel to carry more fuel to burn more fuel later, while carrying fewer passengers on a huge plane just to do that, just doesn't make sense beyond a certain point. I'm not saying I'd never take a 16 or 18 hour flight, but I'm far more likely to accept a bargain on two legs than go out of my way for a super long nonstop. Preferably direct, but even a connection is not the end of the world, and can give you a bit of exercise, maybe some different food in the terminal, maybe a real rest room, maybe meet some interesting people. I can spend 18 hours in bed at home, no need to do it on a plane.

I have flown non-stop r/t between Atlanta and Dubai about 50 times, mostly on Delta. It is usually a 15 hour flight but often is 16 hours heading westbound (against the Jet Stream). Doing the trip in Business Class is a pleasure as it lets you have a great dinner, sleep nine (9!) hours (lie flat seat), and have a great breakfast before arrival. Doing the trip in Economy is like being in a electric chair for 16 hours but without the electricity. The flights also featured a mid-flight snack but I usually slept through it.

Sat in the PE section on the route from EWR to SIN on my way to DPS (Bali) back in September of '19. It was back before SIA blocked the single seats at the back of the plane for only their FF so I had a single seat going over and coming back. At 6'3" even the single seats were a miserable experience for a flight that long. I must have been banged into 50 times on the flight by people going to the restroom or the in-flight carts. When I checked in at SIN I asked to upgrade and it was $1700 to sit up front...too rich for my wallet back then. Would not do this route again in PE...biz would make all the difference. Great video as usual.
