Sitting for almost 19 hours is something else. Upgrade if you can, makes a world of difference. Economy for that long is just torture, imo.

As someone who’s constantly hopping time zones, those long flights are a bit of a necessary evil. Best advice is to get on the destination's time asap. It helps with the jet lag big time. Make the best of it: work, watch movies, read, sleep... People seem to dislike them but I secretly enjoy being unreachable in the air.

Just pop a sleeping pill and wake up in a new timezone lol. But seriously, take a small walk every couple of hours to keep the blood moving. DVT is no joke.

Truth is, long flights freak me out. Been on one for 12 hours, thought I'd lose my mind. Can't imagine 19. How's the air? Do you walk around? So many questions. Seems superhuman to deal.

Ah, Singapore Airlines SQ22, quite the legendary route. It's one of the longest commercial flights in the world, covering about 9,500 miles. For the truly longest, you'll want to look at Project Sunrise by Qantas – they're planning direct flights from Sydney to London. We're talking about potentially 20+ hours non-stop. It's all about the ultra-long-range aircraft being developed, like the A350-1000 ULR. These flights aren't for everyone, but they cut down on travel time significantly which can be a big plus for business travelers.

never been on a flight longer than 8 hours but idk if i could handle one that's 19 😳 how do people even sleep on planes effectively??

Did the 16+ hr flight from Dallas to Sydney once and it was intense. Watched like 6 movies back-to-back and still had hours to go 😂 Bring a good neck pillow and all the entertainment you can. But honestly, when else can you just chill with no interruptions for that long? It's kinda cool tbh.
