The continent of Europe is linked by direct flights to nearly every part of the world, with some routes extending as far as Australia and South America. These long-haul flights often exceed 7,000 nautical miles (NM), requiring travelers to prepare for extended travel times.
One such route is operated by Garuda Indonesia, connecting Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta with Amsterdam Schiphol over a distance of 6,130 NM. This twice-weekly service uses Boeing 777-300ER aircraft configured in two cabin classes. "These aircraft have a high-density configuration, seating up to 393 passengers overall," offering economy seats with a spacious pitch and well-rated onboard service.
KLM operates another long flight from Buenos Aires Ezeiza to Amsterdam Schiphol, covering 6,189 NM using Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. This daily service provides three cabin classes. "Economy seats have a pitch of 31", while in premium economy, this goes up to 36" along with extra recline."
