That’s really neat, also a confounding nightmare scenario for a flat earther.
I never knew that! Thank You for sharing… wow!
Long ass flight
Doha to Dallas was 16.5 hours. Just flew it on 12 Apr. tough. So west must be more.
What a change of scenery!
There is a reason Anchorage, Alaska is one of the biggest cargo air hubs in the world. The Arctic is the fastest route from Asia and many parts of Europe to North America. It makes a lot more sense looking at a globe than looking at a map.

Flew from O’Hare to Qatar, was pretty wild watching the flight tracker.
Flying over the north pole is very common because its closer distance-wise. Most flights from Asia to N. America that are Trans-Atlantic, fly the polar route.
