Two years ago, I got to experience the world’s longest flight, Singapore Airlines’ route between Singapore and New York. It was a big item to cross off my AvGeek to-do list and the experience itself was a blast. Since then I’ve been wondering how I could ever top that flight.

After biding my time for a while and snagging a lucky booking, I got the chance. When I flew from Singapore to NYC in…
