With these, the Asian Star Alliance member has become a go-to option for passengers traveling from the US East Coast to Singapore, with an en-route stopover no longer absolutely necessary.     As these flights are the longest in the world in terms of regularly scheduled passenger services, they feature operational aspects that, in their respective areas, are more extreme than the average intercontinental flight. Still, many avgeeks have such journeys on their bucket list, and, therefore, it is worth examining some of the more interesting facts about them that you might like to know before flying. 1  \n                            Two New York City airports are served\n                     \n            Passengers can fly to both JFK and Newark\n     The first thing to know about Singapore Airlines' ultra-long-haul flights to New York City is the fact that, while they all originate at the same airport, namely Singapore Changi, they serve two different destinations. According to current scheduling data made available by  Cirium , an aviation analytics company, the lengths of these routes differ by just three miles (4.83 km), with New York JFK Airport coming out on top. Specifically, the route from Singapore Changi to John F Kennedy International is 9,487 miles (15,268 km) in length, compared to 9,484 miles (15,263 km) for the corridor from Singapore to Newark Liberty International (EWR). Cirium's scheduling data shows that both of these routes are operated on a daily basis, with 47,349,617 available seat miles to JFK in December, compared to 47,334,644 for Newark. Departing Singapore, the world's longest passenger flight leaves Changi Airport at 12:15 local time, and is numbered as flight SQ24. This service has a planned duration of 18 hours and 10 minutes, with its arrival into New York scheduled for 17:25 on the same day. Meanwhile, the return (SQ23) departs at 22:00 local time, and, with a block time of 18 hours and 40 minutes, lands at 06:00 two days later. As for Singapore Airlines' non-stop flights to Newark Liberty Airport, the outbound sector is numbered as flight SQ21, and leaves Changi at 00:40. These services also arrive in the US on the same day as their departure, with a block time of 17 hours and 50 minutes making their arrival time 05:30. After four hours on the ground, SQ22 leaves Newark at 09:35, reaching Singapore the next day at 17:15. 2  \n                            There is no economy class onboard\n                     \n            Passengers can choose between premium economy and business class\n     As well as being the world's longest passenger air route, another reason for the fact that Singapore Airlines' New York flights are so coveted by enthusiasts is the fact that to fly on one is to do so in style. Indeed, this is because the configuration used on the aircraft that serve these routes has no economy class cabin, with premium economy being the cheapest offering as far as the onboard products go. Present fleet data made available by  aeroLOPA  shows that the      Airbus  A350-900ULR aircraft used by Singapore on these flights have just 161 seats onboard, with this figure split between 94 premium economy recliners and 67 business class flatbeds. The latter of these cabins is laid out four abreast in a 1-2-1 configuration, with these seats occupying the forward and middle sections of the jet's fuselage.     Data from aeroLOPA shows that these flatbeds are from Jamco, and measure 78 inches in length when converted to their fully flat configuration for sleeping. When seated upright, passengers have a generous 60 inches of pitch, with the seats measuring 28 inches when it comes to width. In terms of entertainment, passengers have 18-inch HD touchscreens at their disposal, as well as charging sockets. In terms of premium economy, the Safran recliners used in the rear section of the aircraft's cabin offer passengers 38 inches of pitch, 19 inches of width, and eight inches of recline. Their touchscreen inflight entertainment displays measure 13.3 inches, and power comes from universal AC sockets and USB-A outlets. While these seats are mainly laid out eight-abreast (2-4-2), there are some exceptions: \n                                        Rows 40, 41, and 42 are laid out in a 1-4-1 setup, with the window seats featuring extra storage.\n                         \n                                        Row 43 consists solely of the middle block of four seats.\n                         3  \n                            The return flight takes a different path to the outbound sector\n                     \n            Not just a case of there and back\n     For the vast majority of Singapore Airlines' flights (and indeed those operated by just about any airline around the world), a flight's return sector will generally retrace the route taken by the outbound leg. Of course, there is a degree of give and take in this regard, particularly on longer flights where there is more flexibility, but the general shape of a route tends to be roughly the same in both directions of travel.  This, however, is not the case for Singapore Airlines' ultra-long-haul non-stop flights between Changi and New York City, both in terms of the JFK flights and those serving Newark Liberty International. Indeed, a quick look at recent tracking data made available by  Flightradar24  shows that the US-bound flights always fly eastward, crossing the Pacific and the US to arrive in the Big Apple from the west. Meanwhile, when these flights return to Singapore Changi Airport, they don't fly back to Asia the way they came, but, rather, they continue the way they were going and head towards their destination in an easterly direction. For flights from New York JFK and Newark Liberty International Airport to Singapore, this means that the route taken will generally resemble the one shown below (from December 15th). The route pictured takes the flight not back across the US and the Pacific Ocean, but, rather, over the North Atlantic, Europe, and the Middle East before arriving at their Asian destination. These allow them, as explored by  Flightradar24 , to benefit from prevailing wind directions on both legs of the route. That being said, it has been known for the flights to operate in the opposite direction if necessary. 4  \n                            Singapore Airlines flies a special Airbus A350 on the route\n                     \n            Not just a lower-density seating layout\n     As previously mentioned, the A350-900ULR planes that Singapore Airlines uses on its flights to New York are notable for the fact that they only have 161 seats onboard in a two-class, premium-heavy configuration. Contrastingly, its standard A350-900s can seat 253 passengers in a three-class configuration (economy, premium economy, and business) or 303 in a two-class layout (economy and business). However, as is suggested by the fact that these aircraft have a different name, there are several other factors that set them apart from their standard counterparts as well. For example, the type has been engineered to have a higher maximum take-off weight, which allows for greater fuel capacity and, subsequently, the necessary longer range to fly between Singapore and New York on a non-stop basis. According to a report by  FlightGlobal  at the time of the rollout of Singapore Airlines' first Airbus A350-900ULR, the modifications made to the plane mean that it can carry an additional 24,000 liters of fuel. The type also benefits from aerodynamic improvements such as extended winglets, which, while a small alteration at face value, make a big difference to fuel consumption levels over such long flights.  According to fleet data from  ch-aviation , Singapore Airlines presently has seven examples of the Airbus A350-900ULR at its disposal. These aircraft are 6.3 years old on average, and, at the time of writing, six were listed by ch-aviation as being active, while the seventh was undergoing maintenance. Their arrivals at the      Star Alliance member took place between September and December 2018.     5  \n                            The carrier also operates one-stop 777 flights to New York\n                     \n            The services make an en-route stopover in Germany\n     As alluded to earlier, the idea of flying on one of Singapore Airlines' premium-heavy non-stop flights to New York JFK Airport or Newark Liberty International is one that finds itself on many an avgeek's bucket list. However, the lack of economy class seating can mean that, for some, it is too expensive an endeavor. Equally, some may prefer the option to get off and stretch their legs en route, and not fly non-stop.  Luckily, for such passengers, there is still a viable way of flying between Changi and New York with Singapore Airlines. Specifically, the carrier operates a daily flight in each direction between Singapore and JFK Airport that stops en route in Frankfurt, Germany (FRA). Its aircraft of choice for these services is the      Boeing  777-300ER, which it configures in a four-class setup with 264 seats onboard.     Flying outbound, the flight from Singapore to New York via Frankfurt is numbered as SQ26, and leaves at 23:55. Its arrival into New York takes place at 11:15 the following day, with a block time of 24 hours and 20 minutes thanks to the German stopover. The return flight (SQ25) takes 21 hours and 35 minutes, with the service leaving JFK at 20:15 and landing two days later at 06:50 local time.","attrs_markdown":"Menu\n\n[![Simple Flying logo](https:\/\/static0.simpleflyingimages.com\/assets\/images\/sf-logo-full-colored-light.svg?v=3.0)](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/)\n\nSign in now\n\nClose\n\n- - [AIRLINES](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/category\/airlines\/)\n  - [AIRPORTS](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/category\/airports\/)\n  - [AIRCRAFT](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/category\/aircraft\/)\n  - [MANUFACTURERS](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/category\/manufacturers\/)\n- - [THREADS](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/threads\/)\n  - [VIDEOS](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/videos\/)\n  - [PODCAST](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/category\/podcasts\/)\n\n- [Sign in](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/singapore-airlines-new-york-flights-facts\/)\n- [Newsletter](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/page\/newsletter\/)\n\nMenu\n\n[![Simple Flying logo](https:\/\/static0.simpleflyingimages.com\/assets\/images\/sf-logo-icon-colored-dark.svg?v=3.0)](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/)\n\nFollow\n\nFollowed\n\nLike\n\n[Threads 7](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/singapore-airlines-new-york-flights-facts\/#threads \"Threads\")\n\nMore Action\n\nSign in now\n\n[News](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/category\/aviation-news\/)\n\n[Reviews](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/category\/reviews\/)\n\n[Boeing](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/tag\/boeing\/)\n\n[Airbus](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/tag\/airbus\/)\n\n[Threads](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/threads\/)\n\nClose\n\n# Singapore Airlines' Ultra-Long-Haul New York Flights: 5 Fascinating Facts\n![4](https:\/\/static1.simpleflyingimages.com\/wordpress%2Fwp-content%2Fauthors%2F63d40fc226164-Jake_Blue.png?fit=crop&w=90&h=90)\n\nBy  [Jake Hardiman](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/author\/jake\/)\n\nPublished Dec 28, 2024\n\nFollow\n\nFollowed\n\nLike\n\n[Thread 7](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/singapore-airlines-new-york-flights-facts\/#threads)\n\nLink copied to clipboard\n\n[Sign in to your Simple Flying account]()\n\n![Singapore Airlines' Ultra-Long-Haul New York Flights 5 Fascinating Facts 16x9](https:\/\/static1.simpleflyingimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/singapore-airlines-ultra-long-haul-new-york-flights-5-fascinating-facts-16x9.jpg)\n\nPhoto: Patera \\| Shutterstock, [Bill Abbott \\| Wikimedia Commons](https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Singapore_Airlines_Airbus_A350_XWB_-9_9V-SGC_landing_SFO.jpg), Simple Flying\n\n[![](https:\/\/static0.simpleflyingimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/sq-icon.png?fit=contain&h=22&w=22)Singapore Airlines](https:\/\/simpleflying.com\/tag\/singapore-airlines\/) has redefined ultra-long-haul commercial air travel in the 21st century through its operation of non-stop scheduled services from its hub at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) to New York City.

We flew in Premium Economy, yes not Business Class with all of the perks and privileges, but perks experienced in previous airlines were non-existent. With the reputation of Singapore and regularly listed as one the top three in the world, I was expecting the best service, but Premium Economy on Virgin, Delta, Air Canada, British and even American were mush better. Nice welcome, the seats were larger than regular economy, somewhat comfortable.

Meta Title	Singapore Airlines' Ultra-Long-Haul New York Flights: 5 Fascinating Facts
Meta Description	The Asian carrier is known for operating the longest scheduled passenger flights in the world.
Meta Canonical	null
Boilerpipe Text	Singapore Airlines has redefined ultra-long-haul commercial air travel in the 21st century through its operation of non-stop scheduled services from its hub at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) to New York City. With these, the Asian Star Alliance member has become a go-to option for passengers traveling from the US East Coast to Singapore, with an en-route stopover no longer absolutely necessary. As these flights are the longest in the world in terms of regularly scheduled passenger services, they feature operational aspects that, in their respective areas, are more extreme than the average intercontinental flight. Still, many avgeeks have such journeys on their bucket list, and, therefore, it is worth examining some of the more interesting facts about them that you might like to know before flying. 1 Two New York City airports are served Passengers can fly to both JFK and Newark The first thing to know about Singapore Airlines' ultra-long-haul flights to New York City is the fact that, while they all originate at the same airport, namely Singapore Changi, they serve two different destinations. According to current scheduling data made available by Cirium , an aviation analytics company, the lengths of these routes differ by just three miles (4.83 km), with New York JFK Airport coming out on top. Specifically, the route from Singapore Changi to John F Kennedy International is 9,487 miles (15,268 km) in length, compared to 9,484 miles (15,263 km) for the corridor from Singapore to Newark Liberty International (EWR). Cirium's scheduling data shows that both of these routes are operated on a daily basis, with 47,349,617 available seat miles to JFK in December, compared to 47,334,644 for Newark. Departing Singapore, the world's longest passenger flight leaves Changi Airport at 12:15 local time, and is numbered as flight SQ24. This service has a planned duration of 18 hours and 10 minutes, with its arrival into New York scheduled for 17:25 on the same day. Meanwhile, the return (SQ23) departs at 22:00 local time, and, with a block time of 18 hours and 40 minutes, lands at 06:00 two days later. As for Singapore Airlines' non-stop flights to Newark Liberty Airport, the outbound sector is numbered as flight SQ21, and leaves Changi at 00:40. These services also arrive in the US on the same day as their departure, with a block time of 17 hours and 50 minutes making their arrival time 05:30. After four hours on the ground, SQ22 leaves Newark at 09:35, reaching Singapore the next day at 17:15. 2 There is no economy class onboard Passengers can choose between premium economy and business class As well as being the world's longest passenger air route, another reason for the fact that Singapore Airlines' New York flights are so coveted by enthusiasts is the fact that to fly on one is to do so in style. Indeed, this is because the configuration used on the aircraft that serve these routes has no economy class cabin, with premium economy being the cheapest offering as far as the onboard products go. Present fleet data made available by aeroLOPA shows that the Airbus A350-900ULR aircraft used by Singapore on these flights have just 161 seats onboard, with this figure split between 94 premium economy recliners and 67 business class flatbeds. The latter of these cabins is laid out four abreast in a 1-2-1 configuration, with these seats occupying the forward and middle sections of the jet's fuselage. Data from aeroLOPA shows that these flatbeds are from Jamco, and measure 78 inches in length when converted to their fully flat configuration for sleeping. When seated upright, passengers have a generous 60 inches of pitch, with the seats measuring 28 inches when it comes to width. In terms of entertainment, passengers have 18-inch HD touchscreens at their disposal, as well as charging sockets. In terms of premium economy, the Safran recliners used in the rear section of the aircraft's cabin offer passengers 38 inches of pitch, 19 inches of width, and eight inches of recline. Their touchscreen inflight entertainment displays measure 13.3 inches, and power comes from universal AC sockets and USB-A outlets. While these seats are mainly laid out eight-abreast (2-4-2), there are some exceptions: Rows 40, 41, and 42 are laid out in a 1-4-1 setup, with the window seats featuring extra storage. Row 43 consists solely of the middle block of four seats. 3 The return flight takes a different path to the outbound sector Not just a case of there and back For the vast majority of Singapore Airlines' flights (and indeed those operated by just about any airline around the world), a flight's return sector will generally retrace the route taken by the outbound leg. Of course, there is a degree of give and take in this regard, particularly on longer flights where there is more flexibility, but the general shape of a route tends to be roughly the same in both directions of travel. This, however, is not the case for Singapore Airlines' ultra-long-haul non-stop flights between Changi and New York City, both in terms of the JFK flights and those serving Newark Liberty International. Indeed, a quick look at recent tracking data made available by Flightradar24 shows that the US-bound flights always fly eastward, crossing the Pacific and the US to arrive in the Big Apple from the west. Meanwhile, when these flights return to Singapore Changi Airport, they don't fly back to Asia the way they came, but, rather, they continue the way they were going and head towards their destination in an easterly direction. For flights from New York JFK and Newark Liberty International Airport to Singapore, this means that the route taken will generally resemble the one shown below (from December 15th). The route pictured takes the flight not back across the US and the Pacific Ocean, but, rather, over the North Atlantic, Europe, and the Middle East before arriving at their Asian destination. These allow them, as explored by Flightradar24 , to benefit from prevailing wind directions on both legs of the route. That being said, it has been known for the flights to operate in the opposite direction if necessary. 4 Singapore Airlines flies a special Airbus A350 on the route Not just a lower-density seating layout As previously mentioned, the A350-900ULR planes that Singapore Airlines uses on its flights to New York are notable for the fact that they only have 161 seats onboard in a two-class, premium-heavy configuration. Contrastingly, its standard A350-900s can seat 253 passengers in a three-class configuration (economy, premium economy, and business) or 303 in a two-class layout (economy and business). However, as is suggested by the fact that these aircraft have a different name, there are several other factors that set them apart from their standard counterparts as well. For example, the type has been engineered to have a higher maximum take-off weight, which allows for greater fuel capacity and, subsequently, the necessary longer range to fly between Singapore and New York on a non-stop basis. According to a report by FlightGlobal at the time of the rollout of Singapore Airlines' first Airbus A350-900ULR, the modifications made to the plane mean that it can carry an additional 24,000 liters of fuel. The type also benefits from aerodynamic improvements such as extended winglets, which, while a small alteration at face value, make a big difference to fuel consumption levels over such long flights. According to fleet data from ch-aviation , Singapore Airlines presently has seven examples of the Airbus A350-900ULR at its disposal. These aircraft are 6.3 years old on average, and, at the time of writing, six were listed by ch-aviation as being active, while the seventh was undergoing maintenance. Their arrivals at the Star Alliance member took place between September and December 2018. 5 The carrier also operates one-stop 777 flights to New York The services make an en-route stopover in Germany As alluded to earlier, the idea of flying on one of Singapore Airlines' premium-heavy non-stop flights to New York JFK Airport or Newark Liberty International is one that finds itself on many an avgeek's bucket list. However, the lack of economy class seating can mean that, for some, it is too expensive an endeavor. Equally, some may prefer the option to get off and stretch their legs en route, and not fly non-stop. Luckily, for such passengers, there is still a viable way of flying between Changi and New York with Singapore Airlines. Specifically, the carrier operates a daily flight in each direction between Singapore and JFK Airport that stops en route in Frankfurt, Germany (FRA). Its aircraft of choice for these services is the Boeing 777-300ER, which it configures in a four-class setup with 264 seats onboard. Flying outbound, the flight from Singapore to New York via Frankfurt is numbered as SQ26, and leaves at 23:55. Its arrival into New York takes place at 11:15 the following day, with a block time of 24 hours and 20 minutes thanks to the German stopover. The return flight (SQ25) takes 21 hours and 35 minutes, with the service leaving JFK at 20:15 and landing two days later at 06:50 local time.

This is attributed to the winds, but mostly because of the havoc created by Russian airspace being shut down. 2024-12-28 11:31:17 Upvote 1 Downvote Reply Copy - Gerry [![User Display Picture](https://static1.simpleflyingimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/profilepics/custom/2024/12/dcf6ef847361cd92c94420d02a451606faeca6697d1485262d04a88124f414d3.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=100&h=100&dpr=1.5)](https://simpleflying.com/profile/IE166074/) [Gerry](https://simpleflying.com/profile/IE166074/ "Posted by Gerry") [![User Display Picture](https://static1.simpleflyingimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/profilepics/custom/2024/12/dcf6ef847361cd92c94420d02a451606faeca6697d1485262d04a88124f414d3.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=100&h=100&dpr=1.5)](https://simpleflying.com/profile/IE166074/) [Gerry](https://simpleflying.com/profile/IE166074/) \#IE166074 Member since 2023-10-02 0 Threads 2K Posts Following 31 Stories 0 Topics 0 Authors 0 Users Follow Followed 4 Followers [View](https://simpleflying.com/profile/IE166074/) Flew on both flights SQ23 and SQ24 earlier this year on family vacation.

We flew in Premium Economy, yes not Business Class with all of the perks and privileges, but perks experienced in previous airlines were non-existent. With the reputation of Singapore and regularly listed as one the top three in the world, I was expecting the best service, but Premium Economy on Virgin, Delta, Air Canada, British and even American were mush better. Nice welcome, the seats were larger than regular economy, somewhat comfortable.

Once again if you try comparing this flights by Singapore Airlines to the non-stop Philippine Airlines flight you will find out this one has a better service which explains why people book them in advance in order to get to the Philippines 2024-12-28 13:38:47 Upvote Downvote Reply Copy - Peter [![User Display Picture](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/profilepics/circle-user-solid-3.png)](https://simpleflying.com/profile/VF428835/) [Peter](https://simpleflying.com/profile/VF428835/ "Posted by Peter ") [![User Display Picture](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/profilepics/circle-user-solid-3.png)](https://simpleflying.com/profile/VF428835/) [Peter](https://simpleflying.com/profile/VF428835/) \#VF428835 Member since 2024-02-05 0 Threads 5 Posts Following 0 Stories 0 Topics 0 Authors 0 Users Follow Followed 0 Followers [View](https://simpleflying.com/profile/VF428835/) Flew both sq flights out of newark and singapore circled the globe.Seats need more padding very uncomfortable for this length of flight.
