Flights have just become longer so that passengers can reach their destination
in one go without hopping flights. A long flight means passengers do not
need to break their joumey at places and change planes. "They like to board
once, de plane once. "It saves a lot of time and energy as passengers do not
waste time hopping from one flight to another,” says Tripta Bhatia, a member
of the cabin crew who works with one of the long flights and is very happy to
be on such flights. The flight from New Delhi to Toronto is now in operation
for a couple of years. The flight takes approximately eighteen hours, which
creates many challenges, A lot of groundwork goes into a flight like this. The
aircraft is, of course, specifically designed for the journey with more space
and wide-ranging entertainment services. The flight crews are also specially
trained to face the challenges involved. Travellers are now quite aware of the
health hazards that may be associated with flights that cover 17,600 or more
kilometers in distance more. Exposure to lower oxygen is harmful to the
human body. Passengers on extreme-long range flights need to be provided
with flight socks and, if necessary, tablets for thinning the blood. It is a belief
that prevention is better than cure when it comes to in-flight health. It is not
just the health and life of the passenger that is at stake on a flight of this
length, but also that of the flight crew. "They give us training on fatigue
management and how to fine-tune to the local time in Toronto. We need and
to exercise, as well as take care our diet and eat lightly in-flight," says Tripta
Bhatia. The long-haul flights are now becoming a trend and many
airlines
offer these direct flights the timings of which suit the domestic airlines.
Singapore, Cathy Pacific, Qantas are some of the Airlines that offer these long
flights. Asia is, perhaps is the region where the demand for these long flights
is the greatest. The flights connecting from the Asian cities to the US is the big
market since flights to the European continent don't require 18 hours of
endurance and capacity
