I have done 15 and a half hours from NYC to Taiwan. Sleeping pills and walking around helped. I am doing a 16 and 45 minute flight next week from NYC to Manilla.
Anybody seen sam behind Scott
Its actually new york to dubai or abu dhabi because the other Emirates are closer and Singapore is far I think 9 thousand km but Abu Dhabi is 10,000 when dubai is around 12,000 or 11,000km away
Ho else seen the glow eyes on the corner of him in 3:16
OMG drink so many fluids you have to climb over me to pee every hour and make sure to annoy your fellow passengers by getting up and walking, making sure to bump everyone's shoulder as you go by. I know you.
0:04 sam chui haha
Getting stoned and falling asleep often works very well.
IT'S LITERALLY PREMIUM ECONOMY WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT????
3:17 look at the left of his shoulder, it looks like a ghost lol
I drove from Grand Rapids Michigan to Ft Myers Florida non stop by myself. 21 hours..way tougher than this trip. This trip would have been a piece of cake.
I never survived 2 hours flight 😂 I always get bored
All I need is gum and I’m ready to go.
How to survive the longest flight
Step one: bring a laptop and play gta v
Dont take boeing
Imagine you're sleeping on a plane and suddenly you hear: HI TODAY I'LL BE FLYING THE LONGEST FLIGHT IN THE WORLD and here a a few tips on how to stay comfortable and healthy!
This is not the longest flight
Step 1: sleep
1 second later you're there
I thought it said middle passage
Another tip/option (if you're rich): choose first-class 🙂
“Survive”?
Stay at home ! ,
I tried bringing eye drops and nose drops but I had to throw them away
Me: Tries to sleep
Babies: I'm about to end this mans career
00:04 look next to Scott Sam chai is there
3:17 Look Behind Scott McCartney
I don't see why people fly economy when on long flights….
Bring something to think about. And for you westerners, bring movies or something to occupy your minds.
I stg nobody’s gonna talk about Sam chui in the back in the blue jumpsuit at 0:04
This isn’t the longest flight. Just an example a flight to the Philippines is over 20 hours 😂
why juice wlrd died? anyone else?
longest flight is Sydney to NYC
0:04 @samchui
Sydney Australia to Montreal Canada
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwSYScrr0Ao booking a flight then you need to watch the point guy uk… follow this link …
0:03 Sam chui
Been there done that ☺️☺️
Don’t drink the coffee the water tanks are cleaned four times a year
Solution :
Take 2 flights instead of one. It’s cheaper and more practical. I’m flying tonight, instead of 14 hours, I’m doing 5 hours and then another 8 hours.
3:14 he says everyone’s asleep but if you look behind him there is a figure with glowing eyes
I just saw a YouTube over 1 million subs working in the flight / Sam Chui Vedic 5 sec.
If you want to feel special. Or just get your meal before everyone else. Order vegetarian or kosher meal when you book your flight.🛩🔥
0:03 is that Sam Chui?
LIES!!!
All you need is offline games, snacks, comfy clothes and be close enough to the toilet. And probably someone else there to sit with, it's just more comfortable
Yeah, try cleaning your seat when 200 people are trying to get to theirs… I wish I was that guy and flew on empty planes.
Dude I flew 25 hours every month first class to got to the other side of the world 🌎
I don’t have a any long haul flights planned…watched anyway
Tip 1. Dont fly. Best for yourself and for the worlds environment. Lots of great placs to see close by and for work just use skype.
very bad choice of clothing for an 18 flight dude.
0:05 Sam chui
0:04 that's Sam Chui in the background
SAM CHUI AT 0:04 BEHIND HIM
I’m currently pushing a massive poo out and this video is helping me control my anger with the price of petrol
3:23 "Hey guys, if you can't sleep on a flight just pop a few pills." Great advice!
This is what the world's longest flight sounds like
anyone else saw sam chui @ 0:04
This is premium economy not economy shown in this video
:title how to survive the world’s longest flight with a fat man
Here are the top 5 longest flights in the world https://youtu.be/1Hv62cCbRjc

3:14 behind him
0:04 was that Sam over your shoulder
It’s not that bad flight might be long but shouldn’t make a big deal about it
0:04 SAM CHUI
LOOK! in the Intro, is Sam chui right behind him 🙂
i just feel like air travel needs to advance farther…18 hours just makes me weak thinking about a flight that long
I'm say this. I bought the ale seat and window seat for my me and my spouse to deter someone from buying the middle seat as alot other did as well. I'm on to the game you middle seat buyers are doing. You think you buying the middle seat is going to force the other two people who know each other to offer you the window or ale seat so they can sit next to each other. Nooo buddy you buy that seat you going sit right there no matter how uncomfortable it is. Also I'm the type to keep checking the seat chart to see if someone bought the seat. So you middle seat buyers buy the seat hoping the buyer of the ale and window seat buy other seats or pay more money for the front seats and leave you with the whole row. Ohhhh no buddy I refused to let you finnese your way into having a whole row to your self. U going sit right there in that middle seat
I prefer connecting flights because if i should sit for like 17 hours.
I will come out fat and pathetic
I see Sam Chui is on this flight.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm flying my first flight since 911 – ECONOMY (cattle section). I really appreciate your tips!!!
How to survive? More like how to afford.
He wipes things before COVID.
Has anyone noticed that Sam Chui (if the spelling is right) is in the same flight as the guys long flight 0:03
Note: tell me if I had copied someone’s comment on this comment section
I can just imagine the loooong list of tips provided for space flights: "Tip 967 – Upon launch and re-entry, do not physically fight against the G-forces…Tip 1,326 – Take a scuba diving class beforehand, to physically prepare for the weightlessness of space…Tip 7,893 – Develop the physical fitness of an athlete with a minimum of 4 daily hrs of exercise at least one year before takeoff…"
Well done video, great tips and right to the chase.
Why does the title say middle seat,? He does not even mention the word?!
Obviously an amature
Wear comfortable clothes 💀 im not sitting in jeans and a dress shirt for 18 hrs
I really appreciate all the people who left positive comments. They’re helping me prepare for this flight I have in a few weeks. The negative comments are scaring me. I’m definitely going to:
Stay hydrated
Try to sleep most of the way (which I’m good at on flights)
Bring books and videos on my phone to watch
Move around some
No thanks I’ll just travel virtually via videos on You Tube 👨💻 I can avoid the hustle and bustle and still see all the sites without the crowds lol.
Will you have time and space to wipe your seat?
not the longest flight – try 23 hours from Melbourne Australia nonstop to London.
I have to totally disagree with you. It is not the longest flight in the world. There was one from QANTAS' New York to SYDNEY Non stop flight which it took 19-and-a-half hours. This compares to a travel time of 22 hours and 20 minutes on the current New York to Sydney via Los Angeles flight
Yo is it Sam Chui in the back at 00:10?
Best video on the topic
Any recommendations for someone flying long hours with Pots ( chronic condition
take melatonin to get sleep easily
In November I am flying from Vancouver , British Columbia to Cape town South Africa … 30 hours flying
Look at 1:45 how a normal size man absolutely cannot fit in the seat width. Completely pathetic how narrow the seats are and that the world puts up with it. Also this is even on Singapore Airlines, which is #1 in the world.
I want to go in Costa Rica but Costa Rica is too far from our country Philippines and the duration of floght from Philippines to Costa Rica is 19 hours and i don't think i can ride on the plane for 19 hours lol since I have a mild Aerophobia
