- See the whole flight from Singapore to New York Newark on SQ22. It s the longest commercial passenger flight of the world, operated by an all-business-class Airbus A340-500. From Changi to New York the flight time was about 18hours. As we wanted to depart we had a technical problem with the TCAS, so we went to the gate again, waited there about three hours to depart again. We then got a new routing, directly going over the northpole. See the whole flight - PAssenger announcements, Takeoff, climb, descent, Landing, all the meals, the business-class of Singapore Airlines, window-views and all the atmosphere this memorable flight had.... Enjoy!
Aircraft was A340-500, 9V-SGE

This was 3 years ago and I have watched it several times! Well done to the flight crew- Captain Simon Pragasam and team and I hope they are all still flying ( may be the A380). Thank you for posting this video, it's great!
Now this is 9 years ago. 😁
How are you doing Human being ?
Now 10
Thanks for the video! I watched the whole thing, even the extremely long taxi. It felt like a real flight, I did fall asleep for about 25 min, woke back and we were still flying. lol. On landing I was relived.
I watched this video 7 years ago ,it is the reason I like aviation. Thanks for sharing !
The roaring but soft engine noise is really characteristic of Airbus Industries, simply love it!
Its just amazing how these engines can fly 18 hours and produce 25,000 pounds PLUS + of thrust per engine continuously the whole time. Amazing
Dude, THE A350-1000 CAN PRODUCE 97,000 POUNDS OF THRUST AND CAN FLY FOR UP TO 20 HOURS+
These engines produce a max of 60,000 I believe so continuous will be 50,000+
That's Pratt and Whitney for you !! XD
Ge90: hold my beer
@@MrCraigblaze they're Trents
This is actually the best flight video on TH-cam.
I miss flying. I took it for granted before the age of Covid for sure.
Same
Awesome Takeoff with those roaring engines then through the clouds. Thank You
A lot of people complaining about the length of the video, but personally I like it. I like listening to the sound of the engines!
Ivan Malvov absolutely!
+Craig Tait That engine sound makes me sleep for some reasons.
+Craig Tait I doubt you like listening to rumbling for more than 1 hour. If you do, go outside and do something
Jonas Bichara Its not something i'd do randomly during the day. It wait til night, when im feeling tired, then put my earphones in and listen away. It helps with sleep. Whether you understand that or not.
+Craig Tait i'd love to try that Craig. Where do you get a disc with those sounds?
40:30 Takeoff roll begins. You're welcome for those who didn't want to wait 40 minutes.
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks
thank you
i have only flew once (and it was a pretty short trip of half an hour) but i love flying and learning about airplanes. i love this videos because they make me feel like im flying and also they help me appreciate the wonder of human engineering and kwoledge. thanks for the upload :)
this was amazing to watch, thank you for taking the time to video your trip. I love watching take offs.
Fabulously smooth landing too. How wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
every time i've been on a plane i love watching the map that shows where the plane is located at that moment
Well, whoop-de-do Forest Gump!
Amtrak has that too
So do I
@@jackgamble6120 ??
@@alvexok5523 Ok, ok. I admit that I like to watch traffic lights change colors...especially at intersections so that I can see each side changing. Sometimes cars honk at me because I get caught up being mesmerized by the changing colors.
Polar route looks so awesome to fly on. Going from the tropical to the polar, see tropical weather all the way to sub zero weather. Awesoem
WOW. A perfect landing in New York. Respect to the pilot.
Lmao 57:00 "After lunch I had a nap for about 5 hours" . That's not a nap , that's a full night's sleep ! 😄😄😄
Thats an amazing relax video
I felt I was in that flight, wow! good job👍
this the best calm and safe flight i've ever seen in my life . it makes me remember a flight with a Boeing 747 : the flight was arround 6hrs 30 mins and every passenger really enjoyed it :D
Still enjoy watching this video I miss the a340-500
Thank you. Same with me. the 340-500 was georgeous
Actually, that was a fascinating initial 25 minutes drive around the airport. I admit I fast forwarded, but nevertheless, gave a real feel for the situation and the surrounding traffic. I am still trying to grapple with 18 hours in the air. Air travel has come a long way since we first flew the Atlantic in 1971, in the very early age of the 747. I still remember looking out our window seat and watching the huge engines swaying back and forth on take off. Wanted to also note the landing footage was great, with the shadow converging in across the highways as the plane set down, one heck of a smooth landing, kudos to the captain.
Does anyone notice that this video helps people with air-phobia? I suffer myself from it and watching this video helps to relax. If I decide to fly some day, will watch this video fully until I get on board.
Very true. I go through air phobia myself and its not pretty.
I'm taking a trip in April to New York, and I'm sure if I should go, but this is calming.
Im watching this and in a few mins goin on a plane to Las Vegas so yeah this will be exciting
Illuminati how was it
I don't fear flying but I hate being locked in spaces I can't get out of. Flying poses huge issues for me that I wish I could overcome 😢
We enjoyed your video!
Fantastic! Shame Singapore Airlines cancel this flight route due to fuel cost. 21 hours on a A340-500 sounds great! Well done on a perfect video. Really enjoyed it. Thank you.
+danny1966 I do believe that just a few days ago, SIA announced plans to restart this route using A350s in 2018.
They are mate. Singapore to New York this time not Newark.
+diablolrm90 Yes, this is true.
@@dannyone1565 sq flies to both newark and new york nonstop
I love these videos, they make feel like I'm traveling! Thanks for sharing and please make more.
I did the same flight on the same aircraft back in 2001. I returned on 9V-SGB from LAX. Thanks for the memories.
the a340-500 had its first flight in 2002 and sq took delivery of them in 2003, perhaps you're thinking of a different flight?
@@iamr4mi Your comment re the dates got me to go look through my records ( kept for tax purposes) and yes, I made a mistake with the year. In 2001 I flew to the USA via Frankfurt on a Singapore Airlines B747-400, and returned via the U.S. West Coast on a United AirlinesB747-400.( never again😉 There is no comparison between the two airlines frankly.) I visited the U.S.A again in 2006, flying to and from on the flights I mentioned in my 1st reply. Thank you for prodding me into going back over my own records. One’s memory does lose accuracy over time. And your statement re the A349-500’s service with SQ is correct. The first configuration was a mixed Business/Premium Economy lay out, with the latter starting at the emergency exit door just behind the wing trailing edge. Later, after declaring that they were losing money on the route, Singapore Airlines removed the Premium Economy seating and replaced it with more Business Class seats. And up went the airfare for that service. Even when I flew on it, there was a $500 surcharge over the return Singapore to Los Angeles 1 stop (via Tokyo) B747-400 service. Anyway, as we know, the airline announced that even after making their 5 A340-500’s all Business, it was still losing money on the 2 non stop U.S. routes, closed the services down, and disposed of the aircraft. A claim validated by Thai International , who also operated the type on a Bangkok to New York JFK non stop service , and Emirates. Both airlines saying that they were designed when fuel “was at $25-30 and by the time of their retirement, it was $120…and could never be profitable at that fuel price.” ( Sir Tim Clarke, CEO of Emirates.) A fair comment. 😊
I took this flight and one of the most enjoyable I have ever taken. SA was amazing. The time (surprisingly) just flew!
A friend of mine who travels to Singapore frequently on business, and lives there during our winter, swears by them. I have heard by the grapevine that they offer foot rubs and other comforts on these long flights. That should help in preventing or reducing the risk of thrombosis and related ailments.
In 2008 I did a 17hrs non-stop flight from Los Angeles to Bangkok on Thai Airways. I cannot imagine a 21hrs flight. 17hrs was torture!
Been watching this for about one hour, can't believe it, but it's actually relaxing if your someone who thinks alot, you gotta just be patient at the start then go with the flow.
Cool Video. was like I was sitting in the window seat right there.
THANK YOU - THATS ALWAYS MY INTENTION
Same dude, exact same experience
Same here !

WOW, AN HOUR AND 46 MINUTES OF TWO MOTORS AND A WING. I COULD HARDLY SET STILL.
Thank you Dairx for this amazing and very well done video!! A true long trip between the east and west.

geez... it took so long to take off, I thought you guys were going to drive there!

+physandi This guy is a frequent flyer so I'm sure he knows the real reason. The guy made what they call a "joke" about how long it took off.
***** I live about 90 west of Orlando. They are really racking up the international flights there. Emirates just announced a new non-stop route there.

Most of the fuel was used in taxiing around Singapore airport
You'r going 10,000 Milea @ 41,000 Ft in 24 hrs. Still complaint, complaint.. Learn some decency idiot.
@@dans.6525 its 36.000 ft not 41.000ft
Ha ha
@@dans.6525 He is talking about fuel you twisted fuck.
I wonder if they topped up the fuel whilst the TCAS was under repair
Can't believe I actually watched from start to finish in real time.
I may now have some sense of how READY you were for this flight to be over!
A TCAS failure before a 20 hrs flight, oh no :D
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
There's obviously real no alternative, but I just can't see myself on a flight for 18 hours. I fly between NY and LA multiple times a month, and at 6-7 hours, that's about all I can take
If it's in luxury i am sure it is easy to handle ;)
I flew from Manila to Dubai 9 hrs.

I thought my flight from Birmingham UK to Bangkok was long. I dont know how you people travel so much i just get sick
mmm, YT recommends this after 12yrs.
i watched from start to finish. nice filming. it was -61 F sometimes. wow!!! i love planes, and traveling.
Did you see the landing ? When the shadow of the plane came closer and closer ? That was pretty cool!
A splendid and healthy video, thank's for your patience.
Love the sound of that jet engine after take off.
The longest nonstop flight deserves the longest taxiing.
+Ridwan The taxi was half of the flight lol

I would say !! XD
yes, thats true. :-) But I am glad it came that way. very special flight to me
The most beautiful plane in the world.
Simply amazing! Thanks for Sharing!
40 min now plane still on ground how interesting thanks again
Jeez, all those ships on departure... thanks for this vid.
They were anchoring off shore, still happens now.
Dear Sir,
Excellent coverage n footage and your patience.. Whatever I enjoyed travelling with you n the experience....Thank very much....pls keep it up the good work, ignore the negative comments...
Mohammed Aslam Thank you!
sounds relaxing the engines, don't know whether its just me or not
You are so right, I had my headphones on and fell asleep during the initial taxi unto the active.
Same its so relaxing
Thanks for our record at the archive. Need to getting on important views in the history. Great flight in the sky between Singapore & North America via Transpolar.
Very interesting video! (Although 40 minutes of taxiing isn't!). This flight has a rather slow climb rate because of the fuel load. My longest flight has been 12-3/4 hours - which is probably my physical and mental limit!
Singapore Airlines has very beautiful flight attendants :)
Delta the worst...
Bleistift ofcourse, my wife is an SQ flight attendant
MrTuca999 Ryanair though, or EasyJet! urgh

Nice video. Newark Liberty Intl. Airport, New Jersey.
felt like I traveled from Singapore - newyork
I think he taxied all the way to a different airport

Thank you for taking us along!
That was a nice experience, nicely done. I haven't flown since I was barely 12 and miss it.
I apologize for all the negativity below. Some people are simply damaged goods. You shared everything at the right time, flights stats, air speed, temperature...
Wow.
The concept of cutting through siberia and flying over the pole then down right through Canada is one that just blows me away.
Awesome sauce and much kudos to ya.
Smoothest landing.
They replaced sq21 with sq25 . So instead of flying directly from newjersey to singapore it takes of from jfk to frankfurt and after a short stop it flyes to singapore . Its 17465 kilometers . 2 thousand km more than sq 21 but with one stop . I like this one better . More airmiles more rewards!!
they replaced it with A380 ?
Eren Yeager yes yes absolutely i forgot to mention that . Thank you .
Eren Yeager SQ has a deal with Airbus. The airline is adding several A380s and A350s to its fleet, but the older A345's are essentially traded in (Airbus takes them back). They simple do not have the efficiency airlines want.
YES!!! Virtual flight from Singapore to New York! BAZINNNGGGG!!!!
do they do this flight anymore? im thinking about flying it on my flight simulator but i want to know if they even do this flight anymore.
thanks
Nope
No, but it will be resumed in 2018.
They stopped doing the A340 version in 2014, and then November last year they started flying it again with the A350
At about 30 mins into the vid i thought you was going by road lol
same with me 🙂
very nice video.Thanks a ton for the experience.Singapore airlines service is simply awesome.
Since 1 March 2016, the longest non-stop scheduled airline flight is Emirates flight EK448 from Dubai, United Arab Emirates to Auckland, New Zealand, and its return flight EK449, at 14,200 kilometers (7,700 nmi). On 2 February 2017, Qatar Airways will begin nonstop flights between Doha and Auckland, making this flight the longest in the world. The flight covers 14,536 kilometers (7,849 nmi) and will be operated by Boeing 777-200LR aircraft.
have you seen, when this video was filmed and published? WHICH was the longest nonstop commercial flight at that time? You really want us to correct video headlines years after? Why can you all not think for a minute before nagging around?!
I have seen whatever you wrote and and that's the reason I started with the sentence .. SINCE 1 MARCH, 2016 ... ....... Oh!, neither i am nagging here nor I am arguing that it was the longest flight but the fact : now both the flight routes SQ21 and SQ22 were dropped and I just wanted to update people about that (which you should at a later date after uploading your video). However, once again, It is indeed an amazing video. Thank you.
SQ are bringing this flight back when they launch the 350 ULR in 2018.
Sorry ur wrong Since October till 2018 AIR INDIA will hold the tittle of Worlds longest flight.
and in 2018 SIA but both Star alliance member will hold tittle of worlds lomgest and second longest flights in world..puttin all cariers down.
Anuxi The 300ER suffers from short range even though it has one of the most powerful engines in the passenger jet industry. The GE90-115Bs have enough range but a bit too little for comfort since almost all flights have enough fuel for another 1-2 hours of flight after landing.
outside air temperature -52*C... Wow, nice cooling for the engines:)

Flying has totally changed since the days of DC 3's, fokker friendships, HS 748's,727's & 707's. Man !! It's a great kick !!
The Longest taxi of a commercial passenger flight.

Thanks for this! I've always been amazed by this flight of 18 hours and always wondered what it would be like. This is like the Mt. Everest of plane travel.

I am wearing a pyjama when I travel next time. I learned lesson wearing jeans in long haul flight.
Ouch
Funny you mentioned that, I just put up a reply saying almost the same thing, pajamas if I could and with jeans climbing up your ass, been there done that!
I've been wondering, how serious is the risk of vein thrombosis on a flight this long? I've heard stories about it striking frequent fliers on long-haul flights. Longest flight of my life was over 14 hours from LAX to Hong Kong. I felt a little tired but otherwise fine after getting off the plane.
DVT is a substantial risk on these flights. A little bit of trivia for you. These flights had a special compartment in the case of an onboard death. The long flight time is very hard on the body and with relatively few airports to land in case of emergency, this compartment was needed. It was installed on all the planes making this flight.
On this particular plane all seats had direct aisle access, and the seats were very large. Greatly reduces the risk.
I'm tired from watching that flight. i can only imagine doing it. Thanks for sharing.
By the 2018 SQ will resume this non-stop flights with the brand new A350-900 ULR
The Moon because you were wrong
The Moon it's true, they will resume it october 2018.
Time flies!. Its beginning in 3 days!
Capri Flyer how does this plane have this kind of range
Why did it go back to the gate in Singapore at some point?
You're siting in a chair in the sky, going 500 mph, eating high class cuisine. Amazing.
SelfReflective well if they gonna stuff people in economy class for 18 hours...
Are we there yet
nice
So many followers, why are you not verified
Wonderful video. I loved it so much! Liked and subscribed! :)
With over 40 minutes of taxi time before take off, this video is in severe need of better editing.
taxi is way long xD but i enjoyed it! Good Job!
this is so relaxing....good sleep vid thanks :)
The amount of people that comment and clearly have ZERO knowledge of aviation blows my mind.
so true
the largest passenger jet is the Boeing-Airbus 7777
I AGREE! ABSOLUTOLY RIGHT!
just like almost every topic on youtube... people stating opinions that have no real knowledge of what they are talking about.
CrimeJail WTF??
try doing a long haul in economy , it feels much longer
I ended up here because I was looking for nonstop flights to Japan.
I have never flown before, So I don't know what to expect.
Thank you for sharing this video. I enjoyed every minute of it.

I just came here to conquer my height fear
this is no where near gonna help, better just experience it irl
I battle with a strong fear of heights that makes me too affraid to step on a plane. I have flown in the past which didn't bother my up to my 4th flight where I completely lost it. Since then I've been affraid of heights meaning towers, ferris wheels and flying.
i loved the movie , you must feel bad after a long flight like that , and lots off waiting on the taxiway as well , what a long flight , it was excelent to watch , thanks
Really sad that this route is gone. Even if there are a large number of pax that would want to fly this route or similar ones, it would never be profitable. The fuel cost itself is sky high. Flying with 4 engines is NOT efficient even if the maximum range of the aircraft is that long (which is why most airlines are now opting for the 77L/W against the A345/6). Most passengers are not willing to pay that much for a flight which is that long if it is not economy (All SQ A345's flying to Newark were configured to have only business class available.) and SQ would have to charge for the price of first class of their other routes for every business class seat in that flight and no one in their right mind would sit in economy class for that long which is why SQ opted for only business class seats.
It's going to be resumed when Singapore acquires the A350-900
Justin Hopkins Really? That would be great! I wonder what the layout would be is.
Jomari Apa Me too. Of there is economy, I hope it will only be premium. I can't imagine flying that long in a tiny chair.....
Justin Hopkins so far it will be premium economy and business class.
Enjoyed it, but there was alot of stuff you could have done away with and made the video much shorter and enjoyable. Instead I had to keep fast forwarding through 10-15 minute segments of nothing happening. Like the beginning for instance, you could have probably cut out 30 minutes of the taxi way stuff. I could be wrong, but I dont think anyone wants to see that.
Agree, 36 minutes and just taxi way stuff, rs. I want to see the seats, service and etc.. Should show the airport before and etc.
vlog18rodas Agreed, Thank you.
Yes... the first 40 minutes can be cut. It is boring.
yeah you're wrong. If you don't want to watch those bits, skip them. What happens if they are missed out and people DO want to see them? What would those people do?
Piss off...like a normal person lol
A superb video.
Feeling that I'm travelling
thanx for sharing

love the shadow on landing - good vid, thank you
Newark is in New Jersey, not New York.
Newark is actually the main airport for NYC and is often referred to as if it was in NY. However, you are correct, it is actually in New Jersey.
And so is the statue of Liberty Captn America!!
