The holiday season and the year ended, so, we can take a look back at couple interesting stories and news from 2019. Stay with us in 2020!
Straight from Sydney to London
Qantas Airways is trying out new direct flights from Sydney to London and New York. These are quite long trips that take about 19 hours. However, the technology has reached the necessary level to make ultra-long-haul flights possible, these flights can be wearisome for us, people. That’s why the test involved employees with devices that kept tracking how they slept, ate and moved during the flight. In addition, the pilots’ brain wave patterns and alertness were also monitored during and after the flight. We like being in the air, but 19 hours seems pretty long in one sitting.
The most spectacular of all
Singapore’s Changi Airport opened last year with a 130 feet tall waterfall, making it the world’s tallest indoor waterfall. The airport became one of the busiest airport and one of the biggest transportation hub in Asia. It got so popular that police needed to take action against people who visited the airport but didn’t intend to fly. Due to security and capacity issues, you cannot enter the airport without taking a flight. Even if you have a valid boarding pass, you can face fines of up to $14,300 or a two-year prison term. If you go there, definitely take a look around!
