World's longest flight is set to get longer thanks to this Airbus jet
The Ultra Long Range version of the A350 XWB - due to take on the world's longest flight - has successfully completed its first mission. (www.dailypost.co.uk) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
With most of the airlines opting out of first class for a larger business class I for one will not take this flight. Even a 13/14 hour flight on American Airlines was barely endurable. As 90% of all my flights are over the Pacific and in Asia I will opt to stay over night in Japan or Korea if I have to.
It very much depends the Airline you're on. My wife and I have flown several very good flights from Johannesburg to Florida that take about 25 hours (including a short layover)
A 15 hour flight on Singapore Airlines was good considering the very good & friendly service they provided.
After having flown Air France earlier this month I don't think we could handle another 5 hour flight with them considering the poor, if not outright rude service received.

To all you "poor buggers" in the states that believe anything over 8 hours is torture, us Aussies would welcome anything that makes the trip "up North" faster with fewer hassles. Having to get on & off and sit in a transit lounge is no picnic, I'd rather take another sleep/scotch and watch a movie than have to go through the hassle of transfer... even worse when its a different plane to take you the next leg.
Thank you.....what’s with these folks wanting transfers??? Are you kidding me, why would you want to sit in a seat at an airport not moving instead of one that is progressing your journey.
Flew a MAC charter Northwest Orient 747 from Oakland to Yokota AFB once. 13 hours w/400 military dependents, crying baby’s, & service personnel. The only other similar flight was a C141 from Torrejon AFB to Saudi Arabia w/ a mid air refueling going over for Desert Shield/Desert Storm.. Coming back was on an ex-Flying Tigers 747 w/a stop in Ftankfort, then onwTd to Philadelphia.
Overcoming jet lag will take forever....
