    Curious from the LATAM ultra long haul side. How does SIA crew the 18 hour New York flight and how do you personally handle it?

    Augmented crew, structured rest in the crew bunks in two blocks, a lighter service design on the ULR aircraft, and the roster gives extended time off after. Personally: sleep bank before, no heavy meals in the deep night hours, compression socks, and a strict caffeine timing. The New York layover is long enough to recover. It is the flight everyone wants to have done once and few want every month.
