SQ22: Singapore Airlines Airbus A340-500 landing Newark - Arrival after 18hours of flight

SQ22 lands in Newark after 18 hours flight from Singapore. Flight is being operated by Airbus A340-500 registered as 9V-SGE. Video taped from Seat 16K.

SQ22 is the longest commercial passenger flight in the world. Our routing today was Bangkok-Irkutsk over the Northpole to Canada, Quebec and directly to New York.

I had one of my most memorable flight with a fantastic crew and nearly a personal flight attendant, which was very nice. For her it was the last flight on the A340-500 - she will go on the A380 now - and serve in first class. That`s what I already felt today she was doing....

[saine64]

can i ask how many times you landed to re fuel ?or did it refuel in mid air ....i didnt think it was possible for a passenger plane to fly no stop for 18 hrs ...and with out changing pilot ? please explain ty .....ive been on a 12 hour flight my self ...so i can take it you had fun

@saine64 it was a nonstop flight without refueling because the ultralonghaul aircraft A340-500 can handle a 18hours flight easily! inform you!

and: we had 4 pilots on board - one team did the takeoff, the other the landing!

Why does this flight go to Newark and not JFK?

[DAIRX]

@deltalphapwns SQ serves already JFK with the 747 from SIN via FRA. This direct flight goes then to Newark which is a hub of the star Alliance. Also this all-business-flight offers the possibility that the passengers are closer to the city than from JFK and have great connections with other star alliance members.

@ghettoperson257 Its still the same route, just the opposite direction...

[ghettoperson257]

@rachaelmatt actually SQ21 was the longest 22 registered second longest because of prevailing winds that caused the amount of flying to be shorter

[rachaelmatt]

@ghettoperson257 Thats the longest flight.

[ghettoperson257]
