This long-haul flight is not for the faint-hearted, crossing a span of 9,537 miles in a scheduled 18 hours and 50 minutes.

One of the rare super-long haul flights, this journey will take you from New York’s JFK Airport to Singapore’s Changi Airport, and is the longest non-stop flight in the world.

Long-haul flights typically take between six to 15 hours, but there are some that last even longer that have come to be known as “super long-haul” flights.

Luckily for those jetting from New York to Singapore the planes used for this route have an added perk when it comes to the seating plan.

Those heading on this journey board a Singapore Airlines Airbus A350, which has a rather unusual layout as this aircraft carries fewer passengers compared to typical flights and notably lacks an economy class.

Most of the plane’s cabin is dedicated to business class seating, and at the rear of the plane, there is a Premium Economy section, offering more comfort and amenities than standard Economy.

Those opting for the more expensive ticket receive several other benefits, including additional legroom, footrests, adjustable headrests, noise-cancelling headphones, and WiFi.

Alongside this, the business class section is designed with privacy and comfort in mind, featuring a 1-2-1 seating arrangement and fully flat beds, ensuring a restful journey despite the length of the flight.

Tickets for this lengthy journey can vary in price, with it sometimes reaching five figures depending on the season and the cabin class.

However, the benefit of such a lengthy flight is the convenience of bypassing layovers, giving travellers more time to enjoy their destination.

One Youtuber who tried out the flight, GMO on the GO, has praised the airline’s extensive entertainment options and excellent service, adding that the airline staff took every effort to ensure the passenger’s comfort throughout this 19-hour flight.
