Up close with a Norwegian 787 Dreamliner (Photo: Simon Wright | Norwegian) low-cost airline Norwegian has set a new record time for the fastest ever transatlantic flight by a subsonic passenger aircraft this week for the route between New York and London, using the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.
Norwegian flight DY7014 from New York JFK to London Gatwick on Monday completed the full duration of the flight in 5 hours and 13 minutes – the fastest transatlantic flight recorded on a subsonic commercial aircraft. The previous record was 5 hours and 16 minutes.
Recorded flight time places DY7014 close to the absolute record by a subsonic aircraft, a British Royal Air Force Vickers Super VC-10 who covered the JFK-Prestwick, Scotland route in 5 hours and 1 minute, in 1979.
The flight carrying 284 passengers departed New York at 11:44 a.m. and arrived at London at 9:57 p.m. local time – 53 minutes early.
Europe’s third-largest low-cost airline operates double daily flights between London and New York using the state-of-the-art Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The flight benefitted from strong tailwinds over the Atlantic Ocean that reached a maximum of 176 knots (202mph). The tailwinds pushed the aircraft to a top speed of 776mph during the flight.
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft (G-CKHL) used on the record-breaking transatlantic flight adorns British tail fin hero Amy Johnson, a pioneering pilot who was the first female to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930. Norwegian honors iconic figures on the tails of its aircraft, using personalities who symbolize the spirit of Norwegian through innovation, challenging the norm, and inspiring others.

Captain Harold van Dam at Norwegian said, “The 787 Dreamliner is a pleasure to fly and it’s a great feeling to know that we have set a new record in this aircraft. We were actually in the air for just over five hours and if it had not been for forecasted turbulence at lower altitude, we could have flown even faster.”
In 2018, Norwegian will take delivery of 11 brand new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, 10 of which will feature Norwegian’s new expanded Premium cabin with 56 seats – 21 more seats than the airline’s current Premium cabin.

If you haven’t had the chance to visit New York JFK’s Etihad Private Residence VIP Room just yet, you’re in luck. It’s now possible to buy access to the lounge for just $40!
However, this room is available for purchase only when Etihad doesn’t have a Residence passenger flying that day. When they do, the room goes to that passenger as part of their airline ticket, whether it was booked with cash or eith [Etihad] miles.
This new information is not yet available on Etihad’s website, but View from the Wing obtained the following statement:
“You can also upgrade to our VIP Room for an additional $40 for you and your family. This is a completely private area, where you can have a bite to eat, rest or simply enjoy time together before your flight. Our New York lounge opens three hours prior to flight departures. Lounge access and use of the VIP Room are available on a first-come, first-served basis. You can pay at the lounge on the day by using credit card or Etihad Guest Miles.”
Since it will be first come, first served, I have a feeling that it will be pretty tough to actually get into the Residence VIP Room. Especially considering the low price Etihad is charging for access. Nevertheless, next time I have a flight from JFK, I’ll give it a go and see if I can make some magic happen!
Will you try to visit Etihad’s Private Residence VIP Room next time you’re at JFK?
