After a heated internal discussion about whether it was possible to go around the world within a day (24 hours), I thought I'd ask this question.
Using regularly scheduled flights, it is possible to go around the world. For example, you could use Air New Zealand to get from AKL
to LAX
, to LON
, to HKG
, to AKL
.
What's the fastest way to use regularly scheduled flights to circumnavigate the world? And yes, I realise it's shorter at lower or higher latitudes, so I'll stipulate you also need to cross at least one of: Tropic of Cancer, Equator, Tropic of Capricorn.
