The longest flight without refueling. The longest flights in the world. What passengers can do during a long flight
Every day, hundreds of flights are made around the world, carrying tens of thousands of passengers. Air travel takes much less time than traveling by car or train. For example, to cover by car the distance that makes the longest flight in the world, it will take at least two weeks.
The longest non-stop flight from Newark to Singapore is regularly operated by an Airbus operated by Singapore Airlines. Depending on weather conditions, the flight can take from 18 hours 40 minutes to 19 hours exactly. For the first time, the Singaporean carrier made a flight in 2004, and for more than 9 years now, passengers can cross a distance of 15,345 km in a short time, which is almost equal to the length of the Eurasian continent from west to east.
The second longest non-stop flight is the Los Angeles-Singapore route. In just over 17 hours, the airbus covers 14,000 celestial kilometers. Regularly 313 passengers (that's how many people can fit on board the aircraft) depart from the city of angels to get to the capital of ancient Chinese architecture, the city of butterflies and reptiles in 17 hours.
The third place is occupied by the Boeing 777-200LR airliner on the route Johannesburg - Atlanta. For 16 hours and 35 minutes, the plane carries its passengers through the clouds covering the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The first such flight took place in 2009: everything went well, and the flight has since become regular. All travelers who were lucky enough to take this flight note the magnificent view of Johannesburg that opens immediately after takeoff.
Some historical facts
Aircraft began to cover such significant distances relatively recently. First opened in 1961 route with a distance of more than 9 thousand kilometers. The flight from Tel Aviv to New York took 9 hours and 30 minutes.
In 1976, air carriers managed to set a new record for the longest non-stop routes. The distance from New York to Tokyo (this is how the Boeing 747 followed) was (and still is) almost 11 thousand kilometers. At the end of the same year, the famous Boeing began to run between Sydney and San Francisco, regularly covering almost 12 thousand kilometers.
Embrace the vast expanses of our country
The longest flight in Russia is recognized as a non-stop flight from Moscow to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The distance between these cities is 7 and a half thousand kilometers, modern aviation overcomes it in 8 hours.
The first flight on this route was made back in 1938. Pilots V.K. Kokkinaki and A.M. Bryandinskiy spent more than a day in the sky to reach their destination. During this flight, the pilots managed to set a speed record in a small two-seat aircraft, and at the same time the whole world learned about the new shortest route from the Soviet capital to the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Both pilots, as a result, received the well-deserved titles of Heroes of the Soviet Union.
Not everyone can be giants...
If during the longest flight, passengers have to spend 17 hours in the sky, then the shortest flight takes only 4 minutes, two of which the car spends on starting the engine, taking off and braking. The route of the aircraft runs between two small Scottish islands, and the distance between them is only a few tens of meters longer than the length of the runway. It is worth noting that only three people work at the airport where the plane lands, and the entire population of the island is 70 people.
The ticket price includes compensation for the emission of burnt fuel into the atmosphere. Upon landing, all passengers of this "mini" flight receive a document with the personal signature of the captain of the aircraft stating that they have made a contribution to the environmental fund.
There are other small flights in the world. For example, a Polynesian airline takes only five minutes to lift a plane into the sky, while a flight between the cities of Burlington and Rochester in America takes seven minutes.
For many, air travel has long been an integral part of life. Someone uses them so often that for these people it is a simple part of their daily routine. And yet they remain heavy and tiring for those who fly a lot.
Therefore, some people prefer exclusively non-stop flights. It's both faster and more convenient. Therefore, airlines do not stop offering long-distance non-stop flights. The longest flights in the world are often in good demand among passengers.
It means commercial flight, during which no intermediate transfers are planned. It must meet the following criteria:
- the total distance between the point of arrival and departure must be at least 12,000 km;
- total flight time from 15 hours.
Basically, such long-distance routes are laid along the great circle And over the polar regions, since it is the shortest distance between two points on Earth.
Map of direct flights in the world.
In total, almost all of the world's longest non-stop air flights are from Southeast Asia to cities in North America.
Advantages and disadvantages of non-stop flights
The advantage of such a flight is that you do not have to stand in line for check-in at the transfer airport. You calmly sit down at the starting point of the route and spend the entire flight in a chair.
The disadvantages are that, as a rule, passengers simply do not know what to do with themselves all the time of the flight. It is very difficult to spend 15 hours or more in a chair.
Therefore, on such routes they try to provide various entertainments for passengers as much as possible.
To keep your legs from getting stiff, be sure to get up and walk down the aisle to stretch your legs a little.

Help "RG"
Singapore Airlines is not the first to launch flights on the Singapore - New York route. A few years ago, they were already on the list of the air carrier, but in 2013 they were suspended due to expensive maintenance.
Today, many passengers use the services of air transport companies. An airplane is a fairly fast and inexpensive way to get to a certain place at the right time. But there are flights that seem to take forever and never end. Sometimes the path lies from one point of the globe to another. People cross the equator, seas and oceans.

Hello dear flight lovers! As promised, I will specialize only in business class flights, so I will not write often
On October 20, my husband and I flew to Los Angeles to celebrate our third wedding anniversary in a warm place and earn more qualifying miles. Tickets were bought back in June, for about 55,000 rubles each. There class "comfort" (for which at the time of purchase Aeroflot promised 200% of miles and meanly changed the accruals at this rate from October 15, regardless of the date of purchase by 150%), back economy optimum, so that there is an opportunity to upgrade at the counter miles to business class.
So, Moscow (Sheremetyevo) - Los Angeles (TBIT), October 20, 2015, flight SU 106, departure at 12.55, scheduled arrival at 15.20, in fact, we flew a little more than 11 hours. The Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft is named after Bulgakov, tail number VQ-BUB, the aircraft is six months old, first flight on April 2, 2015, three-class layout of 30 business seats, 48 comfort-economy and 324 economy seats. 402 places! It's just a huge shed compared to the Airbus 330 even! The PIC did not introduce himself and got in touch only before the flight and already in LA.
As usual, I attach more importance to comfort and food in flight than to airports and spotting, so please do not point this out to me, but proceed immediately to enjoy airplanes and clouds in other reviews. But I will try to compensate for the lack of photos with words. And I’m shooting on a tablet, so there won’t be bright photos, offers to buy at least a soap dish for the sake of reviews are not accepted, we don’t need it, especially for the sake of reviews But I apologize in advance for the “grainy” photo on the tablet, they are informative, but any artistic value.
So, we are going by Aeroexpress to Sheremetyevo Airport. 
Then we walk along the corridors from E to D for a long time, to the Sky priority racks 
Where is the plane waiting for us 
and a new lottery from Aeroflot. Now you can upgrade for miles at the counter, but you will only know the success of this action at the gate. That is, you say that you want an upgrade, miles are deducted from you (for our upgrade from comfort to business, it took 17,500 miles from the nose) and prints boarding passes "according to the tickets purchased", promising that they will issue a boarding pass to business at the gate, or maybe not. .. As far as I understand, the priority of the upgrade is given according to the priority of the cards: first platinum, then gold, etc., or maybe on some other basis. Therefore, for now, in the dark, we go to passport control and pre-flight inspection, where there are no special queues, and then to the Blues business lounge (when upgrading at the counter, they don’t give access to the BC, but I have an Aeroflot gold card, so we can still ).
The hall is quiet and slightly deserted 
Strong drinks in the morning sad alone 
A lot of press, I took the magazine "Money", my husband said that he was not interested in money and power 
In the morning, the assortment of food is not very rich, there are sandwiches, yogurts, pies and cakes, fruit salads in glass glasses, tea, coffee, juices, sodas. 
40 minutes before departure, we go to the gate for landing, there is a huge crowd, because the plane was full. The racks and the gate itself are not visible in the human sea, but shouts of "Business class passengers, cardholders, pass on the right" are sometimes heard from there. We push through on the right, give the boarding passes, they squeak suspiciously, and they give us boarding passes to the business. The lottery was not losing for us today.
Then we are greeted by the B777 business class lounge, where I have long wanted to visit, and three times they put the A330 on me ... We are greeted by friendly stewardesses, I especially liked Alexandra. She answered my non-banal questions that there would be another half an hour of chatter and that 150 cups of tea and coffee were loaded into the business class, that is, 5 per nose, if the load was full, and this was only for tea! And in the same place for wine, for juice, and I asked her after observing one passenger who was brought the 4th cup of tea with chocolate. So I thought, how many dishes should be? After all, it is all loaded clean, and then unloaded dirty. I thought that this is also why business class tickets are expensive, how many kilograms of dishes they carry per passenger! Yes, I digress.
Cocoon chairs in B777 are not in rows, but slightly at an angle. Each chair has a pillow in a pillowcase and a blanket with a white sheet in a bag. 
Behind the head there is a convenient shelf, on which there are already a cosmetic bag and headphones in the package. You can put a lot of things there, only a reasonable question arises whether it will all hit you on the top of your head during takeoff or whether it will fall on you during sudden turbulence when you sleep in an unfolded chair ... Although the place is very comfortable, you don’t have to stretch anywhere. 
Welcome drinks are brought: orange juice, water or sparkling wine to choose from. 
We study the chair control panel, there are buttons for adjusting the backrest and footrest, and separately the "bed" and "sitting" buttons, the multimedia system control panel is also visible here, and there was a compartment for magazines under the armrest. 
The screen of the multimedia system is large and touch-sensitive, although when fastened and sitting, it is very far to reach it. Next to it are USB chargers, under the screen there is a shelf for things, and even lower is another shelf - a place for legs when the chair is laid out in bed. 
A block of empty seats near the window so far (we got the middle row, all the seats by the windows were occupied) 
Exploring a cosmetic bag that disappoints with its appearance and contents: 
Firstly, it is a cosmetic bag for a short-range business in appearance and size (more and a different style for a distant business), and secondly, it has a completely truncated content: slippers (moreover, economy slippers, thin and "paper"), a mask, a spoon for shoe, pen and comb. No earplugs, no toothbrush and toothpaste, no creams like before... 
Landing is over, safety rules are shown on the screens 
And before takeoff, flight attendants hand out menus and a wine list. There are wine recommendations for almost every dish on the menu. 
After takeoff, I inspect the multimedia control panel and, oh horror, it is broken, despite the fact that the plane is only six months old, it looks like someone managed to land on it ... 
The map of the flight is on the screen, while the blanket is on the shelf for the legs: 
Behind the back row on the wall is a board indicating the employment of the second toilet (there are two of them in the business, there is a similar board on the front wall): 
Immediately comes the most delicious action called lunch of 7 changes. Start with hot wet towels: 
Aeroflot cocktail (apple juice, sprite, white wine) is very light and pleasant and an aperitif snack - bresaola with prunes and feta cheese: 
Then a white fabric tablecloth appears on the table (by the way, the table is more convenient than in the A330, it moves back and forth) 
Here I remember that I need to show the contents of the pocket and take out all the wealth: Aeroflot Cinema magazine and Aeroflot Style (neither Aeroflot Premium magazine (for business class), nor the usual in-flight magazine was observed, it seemed to me that this press pocket was thinner and the usual assortment can not be pushed there) 
As usual on long-haul flights from Moscow, "a flower to decorate your table, Kira." The rose was alive in a special container, lived almost to the end of the flight, they were collected before landing. 
And in the aisle rides a cart with wines, champagne, cutlery, salt and pepper shakers and bowls of butter, napkins for passengers and snacks. Except for this trolley, all other dishes and changes of cutlery are brought by hand to each passenger, each dish. 
The table is served and an appetizer appears: "Gravalax, cream cheese with dill, cucumber tartar with spinach (from Chef Vladimir Mukhin, White Rabbit restaurant)" The fish is delicious, tender and not oversalted, while some flight attendants serve an appetizer, another walks with a basket of hot buns (white, with cereal additives, pretzel and plain rye bread). It was too much to take a bun for 7 breaks, but it smelled so good! 
Next salad: "Duck baked with Hoisin sauce, on lettuce leaves Korn with celery and apple, served with olive oil, lemon and sesame" 
"Baked Tomato Soup" (by Chef Paolo Sari, Monte-Carlo Beach Hotel Restaurant). Despite the name, the soup turns out to be so delicious that it is eaten instantly, although at first my husband and I were grimacing that there was borscht from Vladivostok, yes, but here from a tomato! (looks like light soups on the flight, at least in LA, tradition, on the way back there was a very light green pea soup, which was also magical). 
Main Courses: "Lamb, Pau Nef Potatoes, Celery Puree with Asparagus, Served with Star Anise Thyme Sauce" (by Chef Paolo Sari, Monte-Carlo Beach Hotel Restaurant). Husband ate lamb and other things, he was satisfied. 
"Scallops, rice fried with egg, asparagus, Cherry tomato, served with sorghum cream sauce (who are all these people?) I ate the scallops, they were very tender, not at all rubbery. But the asparagus turned out to be absolutely not my vegetable, probably the first vegetable in my life that I barely managed to swallow...) 
Desserts: Galant cake with White chocolate sauce. I don’t presume to judge the taste, chocolate cakes with glimpses of nuts are not at all my thing. But it looks beautiful. 
Vanilla ice cream with apple sauce. Decent taste. Next to my cup of tea I have a bag of sweetener and a bag of cane sugar. When Alexandra brought for the first time a bowl of sugar to choose from (there was also ordinary white sugar), I didn’t immediately decide what I wanted and took two. Later, she brought such a strange set herself to every cup of tea served to me! Service in detail! Although I was uncomfortable, because I do not need both products with a sweet taste, I hoped that she would forget, but no, I think that the preferences of the other passengers were not forgotten the whole flight either. 
After cleaning the dishes and napkins, it's time for the multimedia system, where a lot of movies, games, etc. are presented. Moreover, for some reason, there were much more films on the B777 when flying there than when flying back on the a330. It concerned mainly new products, along the way we managed to watch the films Spy, Terminator: Genesis and the San Andre Rift. Large headphones to help the cinephile: 
Well, or you can finally expand the bed to completely flat, cover it with a blanket and go to bed: 
not forgetting to buckle up over the blanket in case of turbulence (and it was strong at some point, the senior flight attendant said herself "we entered a zone of severe turbulence, please fasten your seat belts ...", and did not turn on the usual entry "our plane is in the zone turbulence) 
All window blinds are closed, the lights are off, the cabin is asleep. 
The business class load was 22 seats out of 30, that is, more than 70%, went to other salons for reconnaissance. In comfort, there are 15 people for 48 seats at most, but the economy is crowded, 100% load, it was even inconvenient to go there for a walk, after all, the economy on the B777 is cramped 3 + 4 + 3 ...
Let's go to the toilet, it's bright and clean. There is hand cream and a refreshing face spray, small towels, but unlike my last flight, there are no razors and foam (maybe it is considered a day flight? no one will need to shave, but last year the flight was daytime ..) 
It is worth waking up and sitting on a chair like a flight attendant right there with an offer to have something to eat, drink, drink. Crackers, nuts, water: 
The plane is buzzing steadily, but something can’t sleep, then we will try a cheese plate: assorted Brie cheese, Suluguni and Grant, served with a cracker and fig mostarda. This last thing is like jam, but it’s very good to dip any of the cheeses into it, they immediately play with new flavors! There was also a fruit plate (grapes, apple, pear), but I forgot to take a picture of it. 
Three hours before landing, the flight attendants begin to deliver either breakfast (since everyone slept), or dinner, since there was lunch before that. First, wet wipes, then juices, then, as the menu says "light snacks" - honey-glazed turkey with lingonberry sauce, quiche lauren with cheese and Black Forest cake, hot chicken julienne with mushrooms and Basmati rice and Grant cheese. Just a little bit and fits on one plate: 
At some point, the neighbors at the window leave to freshen up and I get to the window, and there, together with clouds, mountains: 
Already before landing, I remove the top panels, they only have light bulbs, and they shine obliquely, for the right passenger, the left light bulb:
