As soon as Singapore Airlines brings back SIA-NY direct flight with the A350-1000, things will be much easier... Simply London - Singapore - New York - London Using the old SA flight 21 (operated until 2013 with A340s) flight time , the total would be 13 + 18 + 7. That's a total of 38 hours. Add connection time and you can beat that record.

Urho The Human - Um, read the thread? We were talking about the renewed SIN-NY direct flight from SIA. Also, the detour is to get over the magic 36,600km rule - its as close as you can get to being a perfect number of KM - 36,810km according to the online flight distance website.

Apparently you can do it in about 4 days, unless bungee jumping is off limits in Singapore, in which case, you’ll wind up stranded with your hand in a puddle before desperately trying to search for non-existent local booze and losing everything on a roulette wheel. I’ll bet Sam’s still not bitter at all 😂😂😂

Hmm. The flight record is actually 31 hours, 27mins, 49 seconds in August of 1995. The flight began and ended at New York JFK and flew eastbound with stops in Toulouse, Dubai, Bangkok, Guam, Honolulu, and Acapulco.

QUESTION: During the time of that short-lived Concorde service betwixt London & Singapore via Bahrain, would it have been possible to connect, in London, to that flight from a transatlantic Concorde flight from New York to cut one's circumnavigation time even shorter by making an even larger portion of it consist of supersonic flight-time?

This is my bet. It comes to about 48 Hours and 50 Minutes and 38622 Km- slightly north of the required number of kilometers but about 4 Hours and 44 Minutes above the record timing. It would mean a lot to find an itinerary that would match the record. Starting Point and Ending Point: Auckland Flight 1: Auckland to Los Angeles Airline: Air New Zealand Flight Number: NZ 2 Duration: 12h 5m Departure: 22:50 hrs Arrival: 13:55 hrs Distance: 10477 Km Layover at LAX: 1 Hour Flight 2: Los Angeles to London Heathrow Airline: Virgin Atlantic Flight Number: VS 8 Duration: 10h 25m Departure: 14:55 hrs Arrival: 9:10 hrs (+1) Distance: 8758 km Layover at LHR: 1 Hour 45 Minutes Flight 3: London Heathrow to Singapore Airline: Singapore Airlines Flight Number: SQ 317 Duration: 12h 50m Departure: 10:55 hrs Arrival: 7:50 hrs (+1) Distance: 10858 km Layover at SIN: 55 Minutes Flight 4: Singapore to Auckland Airline: Singapore Airlines Flight Number: SQ 281 Duration: 9h 50m Departure:8:45 hrs Arrival: 23:35 hrs Distance: 8529 km Result: Journey is completed in 48 Hours and 50 Minutes inclusive of layover times and fulfills conditions given.

The link has been discontinued (understandably) but I'd be curious if the advent of the London-to-Perth route has reduced the minimum number of hours? It seems to me that a non-stop flight from London to Perth and a non-stop flight from Singapore to JFK would get us most of the way there in about twenty-two hours combined, and then it would come down to the smaller segments and the layovers.

Can you do a video on what it takes legally and logistically to drive your car around the world. Seen a short video about a guy from Spain who drove from his home to Thailand, took a cargo ship ride to Alaska then drove to South America, then cargo ship to South Africa, then drove home.

Once the new Qantas direct flight from Perth to London comes in. LHR - PER QF10 Leaves 1.30pm arrives 1.15pm +1 day PER - MEL QF768 Leaves 3pm arrives 8.35pm MEL- LAX QF95 leaves 9.40pm arrives 7pm woo hoo back in time! LAX -LHR VS24 leaves 6.55pm arrives 3.10pm + 1 day Total time 49 hours 55 mins!! Probably better routes out there. About 4000 USD round trip - who feels like spending 48 hours in economy class! (thats coach for our US friends)

I thought of more or less the same thing, however, you won't make the QF768-QF95 connection. This route has you going through immigration at Perth, then changing terminals and back through immigration in Melbourne. Doesn't meet D-I min connection time at MEL. QF10 is (will be) LHR-MEL via PER. The same aircraft does LHR-PER-MEL-LAX. Better to just stay on QF10 through to MEL, then through international connections and back onto the same aircraft for QF95 to LAX. If a 40 minute connection at LAX was possible, AA136 could be used for LAX-LHR, but it isn't so would have to wait another 1hr 15 for VS24.
