While Qantas recently revealed plans to offer nonstop services between the Australian East Coast and London in the future, the world’s longest flight is still Singapore Airlines‘ nonstop service between Singapore and New York. You can currently fly this route twice (once in premium eco, once in business) for a total price of THB 56,590 (~€1,424) with departure from Bangkok. This is a very good price for this route and shows great availability in September 2022.
You have to be fully vaccinated for at least 14 days to enter the United States, with an approved vaccine, unless you are a US resident/citizen. You can read more about the entry requirements at the CDC.

Singapore Airlines operates an Airbus A350-900ULR on this route. The abbreviation ULR is short for Ultra Long Range. These planes were specifically designed to fly routes like this and feature only business class and premium economy seats – because of this, this fare is the lowest price you might get.
Thanks to newest technology, the Airbus A350 keeps cabin airflow fresher and more humid than common planes. It features a 2-4-2 seating in premium economy with a seat pitch of 95 cm. You can read a comprehensive review of this flight here. A 1-2-1 seating awaits you in business class, along other services, such as dining on demand.
The most direct way traverses Siberia, but Singapore Airlines avoids Russian airspace on its flights.
