Singapore Airlines Flight 21
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Singapore Airlines Flight 21 is the longest regular non-stop flight in the world. It flies from Newark Liberty International Airport to Singapore Changi Airport, covering about 10,000 miles still air distance in about 18½ hours flight time.[1] It is operated by an Airbus A340-500. Its return flight, Flight 22 from Singapore to Newark, is the second-longest flight in the world, being fifteen minutes shorter due to prevailing high-altitude winds.
Singapore Airlines currently offers an Executive Economy Class on this flight. Seats in this class of travel are more spacious than ordinary Economy Class seats. However, SIA is phasing out this class of service in favor of all-Business Class flights on the non-stop flights from Singapore to Newark and Los Angeles by 2008.[2]
