Why Ultra-Long Flights Are Better Than Short Ones

- Long-haul flights. You know, those marathon adventures that fly you half-way around the world, are terrifyingly boring, and tire you to no end. But nowadays, long-distance travel is nothing like it was years ago! And the experience of flying 20 hours straight might turn out to be much more enjoyable than you expected!
Let's say you need to get from Singapore to New York, which usually takes about 19 hours. Chances are, you'll travel the distance of almost 10,000 miles on a plane that has been designed specifically for flying super-long routes. Travelers have more space between armrests, more head and shoulder room, as well as more legroom. On top of that, the air circulation and lighting in the cabin are adjusted in a way that’s supposed to help passengers deal with jet lag more easily!

SUMMARY:
- One of the most exciting features of Airbus A350 is its tail camera! You’ll be so mesmerized by your gorgeous airliner crossing the globe, you probably won't even pay attention to any other in-flight entertainment.
- The Dreamliner does everything to make your journey feel like a dream. For example, it has a special system that makes the air in the cabin much more humid.
- An LED lighting system makes it easier for you to adjust from daylight to darkness at night, and the air circulates around the cabin every two minutes.
- Long flights are usually more comfortable than short ones, what with all these bigger seats and more space. And it doesn't even matter whether you fly economy or first class.
- Almost all long flights have great in-flight entertainment. So, you can occupy your time by watching movies, listening to music, or playing games.
- The only alternative to a long-haul flight is to fly for 8 or so hours, jolt awake, sleepily gather your things, and spend several more hours at an unfamiliar airport.
- If you know that you’ll need to go to the bathroom pretty often or will feel the need to stretch your legs, choose an aisle seat. Otherwise, you'll have to climb over your dozing neighbors.
- Remember to ask cabin crew the right questions. And the first one should be, "Is the plane full?" Because, if it isn't, you can probably have another, more comfortable seat.
- Every time you fly, it's better to put on comfortable clothes. But on ultra-long-haul flights, it's critical.
- It's a good idea to fill your water bottle at the airport before take-off, and keep drinking this water during the flight.
- Try to sleep as much as you can on a long-haul flight. It’ll allow you to get to your destination in a reasonably adequate, non-zombie state.
- You probably know that you can claim compensation if your flight is delayed, overbooked, or canceled. But what few people are aware of is that the longer the flight is, the bigger the compensation.

Hi, plane lovers! :) What's the longest flight you've ever taken?
BRIGHT SIDE my longest flight was 18 hours from Singapore to Boston
I don't fly
Mine is 9 hours
From Indonesia to Thailand
14 hours and im 8
My longest flight was 16 hours.The staff was nice and we got full meals!!!!It was a lil chilly but it was worth it!!!
3 hours was mine -_-
My one was 20 hours as it was from Uk to Singapore
@@haninzahra1011 wait really I thought it was only 15 hrs
@@user-fu8df1jn8d 👍🏻
I never went to flight😫😭😰
Had to go to an emergency trip from Singapore to New York once, returning the same day. 7 hours to Beijing, 7 hours layover (none of my social media apps worked in Beijing so it was torture), 14 hours to New York, and after 12 hours I had to return back to Singapore. Literally the worst experience of my life, my body had never felt so tired. Had to rest a full week after to recover from the experience.
The fact that you had to go BACK the SAME DAY
I once flew on Singapore Airlines’ flight from Singapore to New York and it was about 20 hours. It was incredibly long but what made it better was the 3 meals, premium economy and wonderful service from the cabin crew. I walked around from my seat to the bathroom to keep myself active. The cabin was so quiet that I didn’t notice we landed.
Longest flight I have ever been on was 26hrs from Sydney to Gatwick. It was a long flight and it was made longer when we had to go around a huge storm in Europe.
My longest flight was from my bed to my fridge.
I can also relate to that
Lol
My dads bed is in london and his fridge newyork
@@ffabruder355 hmm 🧐
😂
This guy's soothing voice gets me dozing every time.
Ya sure alighting of windows depends on it?
the longest flight i've flew was from ICN to ATL it was amazing, the in-flight infotainment system kept me up the entire flight.
It is sometimes kind of annoying that flight attendants can dim the windows on a 787. On a United flight from India to Newark on a 787 the flight attendant dimmed the windows for the entire flight. They expected all the passengers to sleep 13 hours, but some just can’t.
It’s incredible that we can travel so far so fast, and this really is an age of wonder that we often take for granted.
Yeah the age of wonder that's causing the planet to heat up dangerously.
@@CoolioMateGD That’s true, unless we strike a balance between progress and planet we’re headed for oblivion.
@@CoolioMateGD yeah its bad, maybe we could make like a solar powered plane or something (if thats possible) to reduce carbon emissions
@@turtleareprettycool Airbus is working on planes that are environmentally friendly
@@CoolioMateGD who cares.
The first time I had a flight ore than 18 hours was when I was less than 1 year old. I was crying the whole flight.
Like most 1 years old do. I swear I've never seen a kid under 5 yo calmly sitting on a ✈️. It's either they are sleeping or Crying/screaming like a Godzilla
@@pragyabhushan2338 When I was 9 months of age I went to my first and longest flight which was 17h and I didn't cry.
@@neeraj3303 That's amazing!
Cry baby
I when I went to America I didn’t cry
I just love long flights, it is comfortable and I feel like a king when the flight attendants serve me
My longest flight is Boston to Helsinki
your airplane videos are really useful since I'm flying to Meghalaya, India this summer and I was not that keen on spending 3 - 4 hours on a stuffy airplane
I had one trip of 11 hours in a 787 Dreamliner. I appreciated that it was humidified more, was quieter, and most important, the air pressure was regulated to feel like you were at 4000 feet rather than at about 6-7 thousand feet. Big difference. I walked off the plane feeling better.

Him: most people choose the window seat so they can lean against the wall and get a better sleep
Me: what!? I thought people chose the window seat so they can look out the window
Comment if you choose the window seat for better sleep
And like if you choose the window seat for the window
Better sleep
George McCaleb hi 😳
Sleep
Both
Actually, both. When I was a kid, it's to enjoy the view. As a grew older, it's for better quality sleep and sometimes the view.
Great info! I live in dubai🇦🇪. I personally love stopping in for a few days to a week in amsterdam (or a new city) before hitting the states. Gotta soak the new cities in.
Idk why I’m so interested in these
I once went on a 10 hour flight. The inflight entertainment was so good that I did not fall asleep once, even though it was a red eye.
My mom travelled 18 hours straight flight from USA to the Philippines 🇵🇭 just to see us this Christmas. 🥰💝💕
Jamie Rosé awwww! She’s so kind!
nothing can match the love of mother for her kids
Awh 🥺 claps to you’re mother 👏
That's cute. But why doesn't your Mom live with you?
@Ryle The Game Explorer Yeah, True!!!
It’s awesome that you said “at the airport” ! Bc, when my mum filled up water at home before we went to then plane, she had spent $2, only to realise that she’d have to throw it away at the immigration before we got to the plane!
Planning a trip to Japan and the longest flight I’ve ever been on was 4 hours, thanks for the advice
Lol I love long flights. I love the view. Merry Christmas , Bright Side. Good luck for 2020!!!
BIG LIKE

True I did that in my longest flight from cairo egypt to LA
Same
Lol😂
Same except it was 3 on an 8 hour flight from Detroit to Amsterdam
I only slept twice in my on a plane (I go alot in planes)
My long haul flight was from three places LAX, TPE, and MNL. But the longest one was LAX to TPE
Been on a Qantas, it was a double decker plane. And so quiet and smooth. No turbulence at all.
I had a 1 hour flight and it wasn’t that bad
Thanks for all the likes
Mee too.
Yeet me Plz I had a 13 hour one
@@astronomzy YEET!
I had a 4 hour flight also wasent that bad
Yeet me Plz qwq I haven’t been on a plane TwT
Actually I would prefer 2 flights with layover. Because it gives you some refreshment time and most flights are now scheduled in a way so that you have minimum layover time usually 2-3 hours only
And you can explore that area for a few hours
Manav Gajera and u can eat nice food!!! Cause the airplane food is nasty
Manav Gajera I travelled a 21hr flight and a 3hr flight like this
I bet most people do this insteadd of one deadly flight 😧
I recently flew Aer Lingus between Chicago and Dublin. We flew on an Airbus A330-300. The seats in economy were reasonably comfortable, dinner was okay, and the entertainment options were very widespread. However, on the flight from Dublin to Chicago, the route map froze. About the only negative I have against the airline, and it's not even that major.
I don't know about other people, but I personally love the 787 dimming windows, I was on a flight from New Zealand to London on which I stopped at hong kong before transferring to another flight, on the way back we flew in a cathay pacific 777 to hong kong and I remember leaving at night and arriving in hong kong during day time, when it was light I tried to lift up the slider on the window and I was instantly blinded and the whole plane got lit up from that one window (big mistake), we transferred to an air new zealand flight which was a 787 and I did the same thing except the different levels of dimming meant I could ease into the sunlight and not have my eyes burnt and die.
I recently traveled on a dreamliner (united), from San Francisco to Melbourne, Australia. Almost 16 hours. The plane's features were appreciated. But it doesn't make the time go by any faster :)
The longest flight I've ever taken was from Hong Kong to Los Angeles which took me 20h sitting in a Boeing 777-300ER business class. It was awesome but also a bit scary since I was traveling during the pandemic. The flight crew was really nice. The pilots made a butter landing and the whole flight was very smooth. Best flight I've ever had and the most tiring flight I've ever taken.
Ive taken a flight like that😭
I’ve taken a 16 hour flight from the Philippines to New York in an A350-900 operated by Philippine airlines in economy
I have 2 flights one is operated a 3 years old B777 by American airline with first class and another one is by a 1 years old A350-900 operates by Singapore airlines and it took 19H 30min for a go-around
Um the flight from hongkong to Los Angeles is 16h I am a plane professional by the way its not 20 h
I've flown on a 10h flight using a Boeing 777-200LR! It was sooo spacios ngl
My longest was from Hawaii to MCO Orlando International Airport that took 17 hours and we got seat massages and we got separate room seats even in economy cabin
A few days ago I went from tpa to ord and then to hnd which was longest flight and my first in a Dreamliner
Every time u think the plane will crash
cubtur plays 2 I am about to fly tomorrow and saw this
We are more likely to die on a bicycle than a plane ✈ 😂
I always think my car will crash
my friend........ they scared the plane will be crash
Shan Wolfx I can relate I’m first
Hi!!! Yes, I had so many Long-haul flights when I went to U.S.A , Qatar , Hawaii!! I actually live in Guwahati , Assam , India .....
Hi yes I also had many long haul flights to USA and it takes at least 17 hours by Emirates airline
I also live in india
My parents were born in pakistan
I am also from india, in punjab

My longest flight was from Chicago to New Delhi in India.
It took seventeen hours to get there and then we had to enter a domestic flight to Hyderabad which was two hours
I traveled from England to Philippines and it was AWESOME
My longest flight was from Boston to Hawaii. It was 17 hrs in an economy-class seat. Kinda cramped, but worth it! Staff were nice and there was great entertainment. Did take a long time though.
I flew from Chicago to Hawaii and it was only 8 hours
I know about the 787 humidity control and air circulation so physiologically I feel better. The LED lighting is also advantageous to me. I have flown 6 or so 12-15 hour flights on this plane. I really like the 787 a lot and want to try an A350.
22 hours!!! loved it
!
My longest flight was with an A-340 from SAS. It was from my home town to Oslo and from there to New York. The flight was great!
I’m from oslo-Norway
@@steponstep6167 cool!
For those who will travel
I wish you have a safe flight
Love these videos. Honestly has helped me as a student learn facts.
the longest flight ive ever had was from dubai to Paris on an a380-800 first class ,best flight experience ive ever had
I traveled nonstop from Spokane to Brisbane once.
The Dreamliner window dimmers are on the windows in economy, but in business or first, some airlines do have the option/button to dim it next to the seat, most airlines do not choose this option. Great video overall!
i have been on many before coved but i kinda forgot the experience ... but... I'm going to one in a few days!!
I have been on a 10h flight from Seychelles to Paris it was The best flight ever The crew was so kind.
Once I went from London Uk to Bangkok Thailand it was about 19 hours long because of the weather it was quite comfortable I really enjoyed the flight I didn’t have first class but they gave everyone free blankets and food and drinks and the seats could move they gave you thick warm ear coverings and cold ice pack ones depending how warm or cold you are during the time you want to sleep. Before the flight took off they gave you 1 bowl of skinny and thick fries 🍟 and a selection of drinks like coke, Fanta (all flavours), Milk and water and they all stay warm or cold (not first class)
I didn't take a flight
What’s the airline?
@ciara Newe Airline is a company that manages aircraft for the transport of passengers or cargo I think
i went from Dublin Ireland to London Heathrow, Then Heathrow all the way to Bangkok, I'd say it took over 24h if tou include the airport waiting.
the longest flight i had ever taken was from my country to london which was approximately 8h and 5m, in business class too, but i cant remember much since i was asleep most of the time. but i really enjoyed the great service we had gotten on the flight, probably best flight i had been on so far.
my longest flight was from OGG in hawaii, to ORD, in chicago. it was about 10 hours, and i was in a very comfortable seat from united. i sat in comfort+ on a dreamliner.
I was from singapur to nyc! Its amazing and the Business
This is actually an advertisement for these different planes
Actually, I learned recently that this is one of those channels such as five minute crafts that are actually seemingly innocuous information channels coming from Russia, which plan on filtering in political ideas and suggestions nearer to American elections. Facebook just deleted 600 of them or their relative likeness. If you look in the description, you can see they got their pic from China, and they are associated with five minute crafts, and get some of their information from a Russian website.
Cool dude578909 yep
Simillogically Speaking lol
Omg it is tho
I have only been on 2 flights. Bangladesh to Singapore and Singapore to Australia. Singapore to Australia is longer. 7 hours.
Ive had a long haul flight before, lots of them. We were younger, and we would always visit our dad abroad, the plane was so relaxing, and the food somehow tasted better than the other planes. The lighting made it feel much more comfortable too, I would also play lots of games on thise things on the back of the seats
i flew to Europe by Air Canada with my high school travel club
we landed in Vienna, Austria and too off in London, England
that was back in March of this year
The longest flight I’ve taken was from Washington to Dubai. We were going there for a connection flight to Chennai/Bangalore/Hyderabad, and 14 1/2 hours for that flight itself, and it took about a day and five and 1/2 hours (the time in Dubai is a day ahead, then three hours layover, then a two and a half hour flight to Chennai.
Let’s just say

i actually did.. my search box = 'Why are long flights better than short flights?'
I dont think anybody searched for this

So basically being rich is better than being poor.
Well it is better being rich...
It's called budgeting, you don't need to be rich to get on a long plane ride at all. Plus plane tickets aren't even that expensive if you know your way around the market place and know where to get great deals without getting scammed.
Fact of life lol
No du
a first class seat isn't that expensive
I once went on a 22 hour flight altogether, with a 3 hour layover in the UAE. We live in Sydney,Australia and we were flying to London in economy. We got 4 meals and 2 snacks and drinks.
I have a question for you bright side you have over 45m subs but have you got the ruby diamond 💎 thingy
When I was 6 I went on a long flight. I had a screen I could play games on and I played games the whole night. That was the best.
@Maha And Mehru so you were on a plane for like 12 hours
My longest flight was 24 hours my favourite is when you get a screen
What an day flight where are you start flight and where you end the flight
Hi I’m going to DISNEYWORLD next year is there playstations on a plane with a screen?
I've never been on a flight but i am going maybe this year or maybe next year I'm not sure that i will go to Newzland or Australia but i hope that you all will wish me a save journey to my future destination to Newzland or Australia and i wish you all a happy day and happy trip especially to the bright side of the life ❤
The one thing you have to worry about when on a flight:the pilot saying “we have some technical difficulties”
Exzactly
Yeah,but I’ve always liked airplanes;)
Once the pilot said we were running outta fuel
The road to success comes when you deliver more than expected.

I flew with Norwegian back in 2014 between Stockholm (where i live) to Bangkok. I was 5 in 2014, so i don't remember much, but it was a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The flight was 11 hours.
My longest flight was 11.5 hours long from Miami to Istanbul. I was in business class. It was awesome
Going to the US from Australia we thought that breaking the journey at Hawaii might be worthwhile. But each flight was too short to get a proper sleep so they call it the "red eye flight".
Typically with all the changes of transport etc we are travelling for 33 hours. Which is pretty exhausting. But getting a 15 hour flight gives a chance for an 8 hour sleep somewhere along the way.
My longest flight was from Moscow, Russian to Vladivostok, Russia 9 hours midnight, amazing breakfast
And still, you were just taking a domestic flight.
My longest (and first flight) we got a free first class, free pillows and blankets we could take after the flight. We also could get chips to eat. Wonderful
The longest flight I’ve been on is 25 hours from New York to South Africa. We had to stop at Qatar actually to switch planes so my longest flight was really 14 hours long.
5:06 the funniest part of the video 😂
Amazing channel!
I flew Singapore Airlines Singapore to New York before. Even in economy class, they have a free snack buffet at the back of the airplane. They have everything ranging from Sandwiches to Kit Kats to Pringles. It is a very nice experience with no economy on board. The minimum class is premium economy which gives you more legroom, nicer food and a better experience
I had I flight from Chicago to Abu Dhabi on my way to India. It was the best 13 hour long flight of my life!

As a flight attendant let me say now, on ultra long haul flights you’ll get 2 full meals and a snack service. No extra blankets and no extra meals. Take food with you. There is only a certain amount of food onboard. Take water and moisturiser. Keep your body and skin hydrated.
My mom is a flight attendant too
Some airlines have extra meals and extra blankets. Which airline do you serve?
Mine was on a Jet 2 from Northern Ireland to Fuarventure if you don’t know it’s a Spanish island one of the islands part from the canary’s islands it’s way further from Spain so it was 4 hours I don’t know what type of plane it was I only know it Jet2
My longest was 17hr from Delhi to JFK. We got delayed by an hour on the taxiway due to a technical issue, and then we have 16 hr on top of that.
