May 10, 2017 at 14:45 comment added MadHatter @NateEldredge nicely observed! And I must say I've always suspected something of the sort about the UAE; I'm guessing the "missing mass" of the universe is sand.
May 10, 2017 at 14:06 comment added Nate Eldredge @MadHatter: By my calculations, even if you go straight through, it's still 12385 km. So apparently Abu Dhabi is some sort of non-Euclidean wormhole in space.

May 8, 2017 at 7:03 comment added MadHatter @ruedi I don't see how it can be: the direct, great-circle route is 17,016km, and the only way to get shorter than that is to make a hole in the planet and fly through it.

May 7, 2017 at 13:25 comment added DTRT I am downvoting because this answer is not correct. The Kangaroo Route is operated by Qantas and BKK is not the shortest connection available.
May 7, 2017 at 13:22 comment added Michael Seifert The website flightconnections.com is good for this sort of search. Given two cities, the site will provide you a list of cities that connect them, along with the airlines that serve each leg, and a total flight time rounded off to the nearest five minutes. (Connection time is not included, alas.)
