The gigantic 19-hour flight of Singapore Airlines does not have a seat in economy class

Spending nearly 19 hours in the air is a sacred time, but fortunately, the passengers of the longest flight in the world will not be in the class of cattle.

Singapore Airlines is scheduled to begin non-stop flights between Singapore and New York on Thursday, and the airline has given up budget seats for its new record-breaking flight.

The airline had already taken the same route, but had stopped service in 2013 due to inefficiency.

This time, passengers will fly the company's new Airbus A350-900 ULR (ultra long-range) aircraft, which will overshadow the approximately 17½ hours flight between Auckland and Doha with Qatar Airways.

They will cover a distance of 9 700 nautical miles (16 700 km), a little less than the maximum range of the aircraft is 9 700 nautical miles (18 000 km). The cabin of the A350-900 ULR is divided into two classes comprising 67 business class seats and 94 premium seats.

As on Qantas' gigantic flight from Perth to London, Singapore Airlines focuses on well-being with thoughtful restoration and sleep strategies aimed at making flying more comfortable.

In-flight meals, in partnership with Canyon Ranch Spa, are intended to promote "nutrition and hydration", claiming that the menu is formulated from "scientific recommendations and strategies to provide even more comfortable trip for our guests. "

But if all this does not bother you, you can always order a steak at the coast or a burger in the airline's "Book The Cook" system.

There is also Internet access, Bloomberg signaling that a business class ticket offers 30 MB free, but you can buy up to an additional 200 MB for $ 28. The airline has also added 200 hours of film and television to the 1,000 hours available.

OK, it sounds good, but sitting in such a long cabin should give you a kind of cabin fever?

According to CNN, the design of the Airbus A350 "gives the aircraft cabin a room-like appearance, rather than a long tube.The aircraft has high ceilings, sophisticated LED lighting, almost vertical sides and a low noise level ". The maximum simulated altitude in the cabin is 6,000 feet in order to enhance the experience.

"You may not know why it's so comfortable and nice to fly in this plane, but everything has been done on purpose," says Florent Petteni, director of indoor marketing of Airbus aircraft for the A350 .

I guess we'll just have to feel it to believe it. If this ever happens.
