SUMMARY:
- However surprising it may be, people nowadays prefer to get from A to B without any unnecessary stops.
- The first long-haul flight took place 18 years ago! On March 1, 2001, Continental Airlines had its first non-stop trip covering a distance of 7,332 miles.
- Nowadays, the champion of long-haul travel is Singapore Airlines with their flight from Newark to Singapore. Just imagine: the longest commercial flight in the world lasts 18 hours and 45 minutes and covers a distance of 9,528 miles!
- There are no economy passengers on these flights. Business passengers occupy 67 seats, and 94 cater those in premium economy.
- Qantas Airways is planning to start non-stop flights between Sydney and London by 2022. This idea has been dubbed "Project Sunrise."
- Qantas is planning to tempt travelers with a sleeping berth situated in the plane's cargo hold. Plus, there will be an onboard gym for some in-flight exercise. You’ll also have an opportunity to relax after your workout at an onboard bar!
- A new solution suggested by Italian aviation designers might be the key to even cheaper airfare. At first sight, Skyrider 2.0, the latest airplane seat, looks pretty uncomfortable.
- Some of the longest flights in the world may vary from season to season and often depend on weather, airport traffic, and climate conditions. But that doesn’t change the fact that passengers have to spend lots and lots of hours sitting on a plane.
