The longest route in the world
In 2004, Singapore Airlines decided to open an air line, a direct line from Singapore Changi Airport to the United States New York Airport, the total length of 16,700 kilometers, the aircraft to have been flying for about 18 hours and 45 minutes, that is, this is a flight time of about 19 hours, in that year took the title of the world's longest flight. Such a long time in the plane to sleep are able to sleep, and especially in the summer time, in the plane in a day's time to see two chances of sunrise, so that in the plane who a sleep will have an illusion of flying for two days.
To be able to enjoy the beauty of the sunrise twice a day, honestly, I can't think of where else there is such an opportunity except on the plane. The large aircraft flying this route is SQ22/21, which could have had 375 seats, but for the sake of the long journey, it was reduced to 100 seats, in order to take care of the feelings of passengers is one, the second is such a long distance to reduce the load, so that the aircraft fuel enough for the trip, but eventually the flight was cancelled, for the simple reason that the price of fuel went up!
But it has to be said, you get what you pay for, in the past, because only business class and premium economy class, all passengers can enjoy high quality services, stay for nearly 19 hours is not so unacceptable, after all, tired can eat fruit, hungry for a premium lunch and dinner, sleepy can also lie down to sleep. In today's new airline economy class will not be able to enjoy these high quality services, to sit for nearly 19 hours, I have to say that it is indeed a very torturous thing. But I have to say that it is rare to enjoy the sunrise twice a day, and after the cancellation of this flight, I have not heard of any flight to see such a view.
