You have a chance to be a part of history by partaking on the world’s longest non-stop flight. The brand new Airbus A350 Ultra Long Range aircraft was recently delivered to Singapore Airlines. The airline will be the new longest direct flight in the world.

The new non-stop flight you don’t want to miss

Singapore Airlines will start flying non-stop between Singapore and New York’s Newark Liberty International Airport, covering 9,000 nautical miles in about 19 hours. Not only will you be able to travel without stopping, you will travel in comfort and style.

A look into the A350

The A350ULR is very big, with a total length of 219.5 feet and a wingspan of 212.43 feet. That makes this plane roughly 20 feet shorter than a 777 but with a wingspan 12 feet wider. The aircraft making the New York-Singapore flight also has an integrated modified fuel system, which increases the aircraft’s fuel carrying capacity by 24,000 liters to 165,000 litres, with no need for supplemental fuel tanks.

The style and comfort of the world’s longest flight

The aircraft, an Airbus A350-900ULR, will feature 67 business class and 94 premium economy seats. You can expect all the comforts that normally come with the excellent Singapore Airline experience. Food and drinks will be available throughout the flights, as well as beds built into the business class and PJ’s available for those who would like to change.
