The world's longest direct commercial flight flying from Singapore to NY touched down at Newark Liberty International airport around 5:30am ET on October 12, after just under 19 hours of flight.

The flight unseated Qatar Airways from the current record for the world's longest flight, a 17-hour 40-minute marathon journey from Doha to Auckland.

When Singapore Airlines canceled the route five years ago, kerosene prices were above $120 a barrel; it announced plans to restart two years later, when the price had dropped by 50 percent. The revamped model consumes 25 percent less fuel than aircraft of a similar size and performance, according to Maria Luisa Lucas Ugena, Airbus's head of A350 product marketing.
