Fun fact, if you want to find the longest flight by flight time you are no longer looking for antipodes. Because flying east is faster than flying west, you are looking for two cities where reaching it by flying in an eastward direction takes exactly as long as reaching it by flying westward. That city will be geographically closer to the west than the east.

@jerryli6763

Жыл бұрын

The route could fly east both ways as that could be faster if they were true antipodes

What is interesting about the Newark-Singapore flight is that it goes eastwards both directions. Newark to Singapore goes over Europe and India; Singapore to Newark goes past Japan, Alaska and Canada. So you really do go around the world.

@northstarjakobs

It’s a great circle, Sao paolo-tokyo was displayed on a Mercator map so it had to be across the Pacific since the projection cuts off the arctic. Sao paolo-Shanghai was displayed on the globe so it didn’t have that restriction. Realistically since the airports are antipodal the great circle could go through any part of the world. It could fly over the North Pole, the South Pole, over London, over New York, although realistically airlines don’t like flying over oceans in case of contingency so it would probably go the arctic route because it flies over the most land

Since it's near antipodal, it doesn't make that much of a difference of a route. If you draw a line in any direction originating at some point on a sphere, you'll eventually intersect with the antipode. Probably at most will take another couple of hours if you go the other way.

While São Paulo (which will henceforth be initialised as SP) Shanghai may be the longest route with substantial demand, you can theoretically construct longer routes. As mentioned before within the video, SP Shanghai is longer than SP Tokyo, however if you keep moving south within Japan, longer routes can occur: SP Osaka is longer than SP Shanghai SP Fukuoka is longer than SP Osaka SP Kumamoto is longer than SP Fukuoka All the way up to SP Okinawa, on the Ryukyu islands, is the theoretical longest reasonable* route between SP and Asia. *Whilst you could land a plane in the Philippine Sea, it would likely not be considered reasonable

If Lion Air would flown the longest flight, it'd be 48 hours. 24 hours flying, 24 hours waiting for the delayed flight

This is exactly what I did when I played Air Tycoon, trying to figure out which flight route would be the longest. He got it right.

Yeah, flying via West Asia (Middle East) from East or Southeast Asia to South America is simply improbable, too long, and too expensive. For example, it takes *13 hours* flying from Taipei to Istanbul (Turkish Airlines 25), and then another *13 hours* from Istanbul to GRU (Turkish 15). Add to that the *6+ hours layover* in Istanbul, and you'd be spending about 1.5 days one-way flying. Too damn long and impractical!

The longest non-stop flight would have mid-air refuelling, resupply, and repairs. Sold as constantly around the world.

Sam, firstly, I LOVE all of your videos -- I always look forward to your new episodes. Keeping this short, I wanted to surface that Dubai, Doha, Tel Aviv and Istanbul are all Asian cities --- often overlooked as being Asian as they are not the "Far East", yet categorized as EMEA-- and all 4 have non-stop services to either Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Caracas, Bogota, and Panama City (acknowledging PTY being trivial if considered South America).

Sam: "Newark is the worst airport" Luton Airport: Hold my tea and biscuits

I only flew to Newark airport once, and on the way back, was met with a 6 hour delay. Most the time at any other airport, there are no delays at all, and if any, are minor. Also I found it strange that the terminals aren't really connected, so we had the choice of 3-4 restaurants, and no where interesting to walk around to.

The longer POSSIBLE flight is one with turbulence. Maybe 1hr flight but 23hr turbulence.

In 2021, there was a commercial (chartered) flight between Seoul Incheon and Buenos Aires which are 12106 miles apart. So with boosted tourism, this can become a scheduled flight too. Korean culture is becoming popular across South and Central America.

You could also use Buenos Aires and Beijing. They are both capital cities of big countries and almost antipodal. Also big candidates would be Madrid Spain and Wellington New Zealand, Bangkok Thailand and Lima Peru, Jakarta Indonesia and Caracas Venezuela, but I don't know how popular they could be 😉😊
