Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Qantas reveals economy seats for 19-hour NYC-Sydney ultra long-haul flights
The current longest non-stop commercial flight is SQ23 from New York’s JFK international airport to Singapore Changi Airport, which takes 18 hours and 50 minutes. If you think it’s too long to sit in a tiny economy-class seat, you can take a one-stop flight that takes extra four hours including a two-hour layover. Whichever flight you take, you’ll need to bear a very long time in the cabin. Now, Qantas Airways, Australia’s flag carrier, has recently revealed the economy-class design of the upcoming longest-ever 19-hour nonstop flight between Sydney and New York and Sydney and London. For such a long-haul flight, just inch-longer legroom and free Wi-Fi won’t be enough to keep the passengers’ wellness in good shape. So, the airline will provide wellness zones where passengers can do a little exercise to stretch their bodies and refresh their tired minds. Still, economy-class passengers will have to bear the 3-3-3 seat configuration for 19 hours. An aisle seat seems like a good upgrade.
Enjoy reading the article and seeing the wellness offer on a gruelingly long flight.
