I live in Hawaii and often travel to Guam, Japan, and the US mainland and I can say without a doubt, planes DO fly over the pacific ocean without any problems.
There are MANY airlines that fly directly over the pacific ocean. I, myself am a flight attendant and I have flown directly over the ocean. Airlines such as Fiji Airways, Qantas, Air Canada, Hawaiian Airlines, Air New Zealand all have similar routes to connect pacific cities to other well known long haul cities. The flight crew can manage to fly without being around an airport for a good amount of time but it is a safety measure to be nearby an airport by at least a 100KM radius.
@@GermanAviation Isn't the truthful answer to this question that it's simply a shorter route to head toward the top of the globe. With the world essentially being sphere, its shorter to head north than belting a straight shot across the pacific??
Actually he’s not wrong. Planes don’t fly at a straight line when looking at it from a 2-d map. It’s because of the curvature of the earth. Yes planes fly over the ocean, but not straight over them. But he is wrong about the planes don’t fly straight over the pacific. It really depends on the route
@F-zero91maru Or... like in this case, says things which are actually 0% true... or 100% wrong. I mean... I think most people realize that most of the people who go to Hawaii do so on planes... so I'm wondering... do people actually NOT realize that Hawaii IS in the Pacific Ocean? What about Japan? Do people not realize that Japan is the Pacific? Singapore? New Zealand? Hong Kong? Taiwan? The Philippines? Never heard of flying from US to China or vice versa? Oh... and I left out Australia because it's possible to fly to Australia without crossing the Pacific... by going over the Indian Ocean instead.
Famous quote “I didn’t have time to write you a short letter so I wrote you a long one instead.” For those who don’t understand the implication, it’s that it takes time and effort to write in a concise and efficient matter. Why write in 10 words what you can write in 5?
I’ve actually flown this route many times, from Osaka to Honolulu. Literally crossing the pacific. We apply a special requirement called ETOPS where we can fly along routes with the nearest airport can be 3 hours away… in our case it was midway island as en route diversion airport should there be an emergency
ETOPS is a certification for models of aircraft which came about when airplane manufacturers went from four to three to two engines on their aircraft. It involves certifying engine reliability and that the plane can fly for a certain numbers of minutes on one engine. Other requirements involve crew training and sometimes additional backup hydraulic and electrical systems.
To put it into layman’s terms, its the same like before you go for a long road trip with your car. Surely before heading out you service or at least check the oil, tyres and everything. And plan where are you going to stop and refuel or if repairs are needed. That’s basically the idea of ETOPS
@@TheFalconJetDriver well, there were several cases when passenger aircrafts experienced shutdown of ALL engines and had to glide to land. One was the cross Canada flight where the poorly educated people didn't put enough fuel into the plane. Another also Canadian plane on a transatlantic flight when they lost fuel due to a leak and had to glide down to Azores for emergency landing. Once a 747 all 4 engines stopped working due to the plane flying into the volcanic ash cloud. Also the flight from LGA that landed on the Hudson river in NY/NJ border, but that flight only lasted a few minutes, since they didn't climbed very high before both engines were damaged by birds.
I work for an airline & I send planes over the Pacific often. We might take the “Alaskan” or “Russian” route or we might not. It depends on the winds and turbulence mostly. We also need overflight permits from Russia that can take about a week to get. In the winter, a lot of the airports in AK aren’t ideal conditions, so we’ll go over the Pacific to use HI, Midway, Guam, etc. in case of emergency. You could read about ETOPS rules for airplanes over the Pacific & Atlantic if you’re interested.
@@dreamthedream8929I’m not familiar with the route, but you can pretty much fly anywhere with 180 ETOPS. I think there is a NAT track that goes SW from Europe that you could use. I believe that the FAA prohibits flying over Venezuela though. You could find suitable ETOPS alternates whether you went North or South of Venezuela. There are some in West Africa if going South.
I flew from Melbourne (Australia) to LAX last month and back to Sydney. I crossed the Pacific, the date line, and the equator twice in a 10 day period. Just saying
@@Frenchy78ify Yes, I'm a former GED teacher. Of course you know which body of water you're flying over, but it takes a lot of skill to determine that. You look out the window.

My wife is from the Philippines and we go back there every four years or so. We normally take the faster Alaska route, which takes us to Manila, usually stopping in either Taipei or Hong Kong. One year we took the "scenic" route, across the Pacific with a stop in Hawaii. It was longer, but a more interesting trip. Due to technical problems with the aircraft, we got to stay in a hotel in Honolulu for a day. Yes, they do fly over the Pacific, but it's not the preferred route.
Not unless they are headed to the Hawaiian, Polynesian, etc.Islands. For example, a flight from Seattle to Tokyo goes over Aleutian Straights, unless there is a weather or traffic issue.

@@1234567mrbob depends on your origin and destination, there are something like 100 flights per day just to/from Australia alone and the States, and they go near Tahiti and Hawaii, that would be the preferred route for flying to the Southern Hemisphere. Same for New Zealand, standard route.
@ Robert Stonestreet Thank you so much for being a critical thinker! The military has been using this map since its inception to get flights and men to the correct location on our level plane we all live on. Planes never adjusted for curvature while being flown or on autopilot. Some brave civilian pilots have been open about it. This video is pure propaganda aimed at the indoctrinated masses because millions more are learning the real truth. You would have been called a lunatic if you said the earth was shaped like a ball right up until the early 19 hundreds.
Having flown several times between Australia and Los Angeles and New Zealand and Los Angeles there's no choice, but over the Pacific. Closest airport passed over was Nuku'Alofa, Tonga and that was still a long way, At 38,000 ft it's usually smooth - maybe a few bumps at the inter-tropical convergence zone.
I've flown from LAX to Sydney. That's why I clicked on the video. I'm like, "They fly over the Pacific all the time". Long flight, but Australia is great.
Ships do the same. Steaming straight across is called a rhumb line route. Heading north thru the Aleutian Islands then SW to asia,etc is called a great circle route, much shorter
Not quite... Although the short route is short in nature, some flights would prefer riding the stream, in order to save fuel. If there is absolutely no wind, what you said would be true. If you take the spin of the earth into consideration, then routes also would vary somehow.
To say that planes fly a certain way to make use of favorable winds may be correct, but I watch planes flying opposite directions on the same day, both with same speed and model of aircraft. Can't both be right. The fact is the earth is as flat as a pool table. Gleasons map is correct. The earth is not a ball. I've done my research.
If a plane flies from the west, say U.S. to East Asia, because the jet stream is from the west to the east across the Pacific, at least in the northern hemisphere, in order to avoid the headwind, that plane's flight is on a great circle. In the opposite direction, when the plane flies from East Asia to north America, it does not use the great circle any more, but sometime, it follows the latitude line, which is a longer path, but assisted by the jet stream, the tailwind helps the plane save fuel and time. So the wind field is a factor that the flight planner would need to take into consideration.
Though like the video says the routes do fly over airports just in case of emergency You definitely find the USA to AUS routes zigzag a little bit just to pass over pacific islands
@Prevailing Right - You need to take Amtrak's Pineapple Express from San Francisco to Honolulu. Just twenty hours. I don't recommend the trip. Unfortunately, Amtrak has already had a few fatalities due to outside water pressure issues causing toilet flushing safety issues.

You are so right. The airlines never let you forget it. Over the years we have lost meals due to business decisions, are now being charged for luggage, along with a slew of many regulations and fees that we never had before. The seats have gotten closer and closer together as a result of "business" decisions on the part of the airlines. And the staff are cockier than ever especially the agents behind the ticket counters.
In 1976 on July 4th, yes the United States Bi Centennial. I boarded a Boeing 747 with Northwest Orient and flew from San Franciso International Airport to Honolulu Hawaii, after a one hour deboarding and restocking layover, We reboarded flew over Mid Way Island (Look it up it is in the middle of the Pacific) and Landed in Tokyo the next day July 5th! The whole Tokyo International Airport was Decorated from one side to the other with Bi Centennial decorations. I had left Hawaii on the 4th and landed in Tokyo on the 5th, my Bi Centennial was over. I was a Private First Class US Army and had gotten orders to serve with the 2d United States Infantry Division and I was assigned to Camp Hovey Korea just outside Tongducheon Korea.

At this moment, there are dozens, maybe hundreds, of airline flights over the Pacific Ocean. The assertion that airlines avoid the Pacific is simply not true anymore.
They also didn’t avoid it in the first place, it was because etops ratings didn’t exist that they weren’t allowed to in most cases and these days the reason planes don’t fly over the ocean most of the time has to do with flight time which he could’ve just explained by showing a map of the earth centered at the North Pole

@@larry4111 Hey lets face it -- this guy will do literally anything for another video. The fact is, 90% of earths land mass, and 90% of earths people, are in the N Hemi. Most of the pacific is in the S Hemi. Does that help? They fly over the Pacific when there is a reason to fly over it. Most people would realize the answer to this question by simply examining a globe map of earth.
To summarize: Because of the Earth’s rotation and curvature, air currents tend to flow west to east. You want the wind at your back, not at your front. It’s faster and cheaper that way. I could explain how wind works and drag this out to an eight minute forty-six second read, but nobody actually wants to hear that.
AndyRock1 That’s because of the Coriolis effect. As things move across the globe, they never move in a straight line due to the round shape of the Earth and it’s rotation. However, this is only apparent in things that cover large distances, like air, water, and planes. It’s impossible to fly a truly straight line across the globe, because you’d have to constantly be slightly turning to do that, and you wouldn’t end up at the intended destination. Flying straight to a destination (from a map view) will always look like making a large curve (from a globe view), as long as the starting and end points are far enough away. This, as Ruairi O'Donoghue mentions in another comment below, is called a great circle route. Another name for it is a geodesic. I didn’t address that, because that’s not relevant to the title. The title of the video asks why planes don’t fly over the Pacific Ocean, which only makes sense from a Western Hemisphere point of view. To a person in the Eastern Hemisphere, traveling to the Western Hemisphere is likely to be done via flying over the Pacific Ocean. Edited something because I remembered how the Coriolis effect worked. Edited it again because I remembered how the Coriolis effect worked, but better that time.

I can verify that planes do fly over the Pacific. Go to Guam, and you will likely leave the states, stop in Hawaii, then go on to Guam....right over the Pacific Ocean.
Qantas, Air NZ, Air Tahiti Nui, UA, LATAM, and so many other airlines would like a word with you. Any flights going to Hawaii, Aussieland, South Pacific Islands...they do cross the Pacific.
Really, and if you actually watched the video you would have heard him say that of course for all of the southern pacific destinations they do fly over the pacific. Most titles on TH-cam are purposely vague or misleading for hits, this is not the only one. He knew morgiles would flock to it thinking they may have something to add to their loser "debunk the globe" arsenal because they simply cannot support their own model.
Peter ok, calm down. I am commenting on the content within the video, not the title. The narrative in the video is talking about a flight between the US and Japan going over Alaska and how it relates the the curve of the earth. The narrator even made a point to say that flights from northern to Southern Hemisphere will go over the Pacific Ocean. So if you want to deal in facts then stop fixating in the misleading title and actually listen to the videos content.
@Peter well the dude did mention that flights from the States to Australia flies over Pacific. Criticising the video is one thing but holding onto the title and scream about it like that makes you very much childish.
@@todeotodeo140 The entire route is over land? Wow. My guess is that you were over PARTS of the Pacific over half the time or more. Did you fly directly east over the bulk of the Pacific? No, you did not. I get that.
@@Sedgie-Tube I flew from Fiji to LAX, and there were Aussies on the plane who were flying from Australia to L.A. Anyway, we spend 14 hours (I think) over the Pacific Ocean.
I'm gonna shorten this for all you guys: MOST flights don't go across the pacific because the Earth's curvature makes for a shorter trip by going over the Bering Sea. That being said, going to a South Pacific destination from the US will require a trans-Pacific flight.

Was it a military chartered Flying Tiger airlines by chance? If so, I did the same trip in 61 as a military brat going to Korea. We made stops in Hawaii and Wake, in fact, we were broke down on Wake for a couple until spare parts could be flown in.

Not a real explanation. Great circle are used ANYWHERE on flys. The answer is that most of the Pacific is in the SOUTH, but only 10% of earth land area and population is in the south. So 90% of flying is on the North
So then "perfect" is a vid, the title of which claims planes dont fly over the pacific???' That is a lie The answer to this is: Planes do fly over the pacific every time the most cost effective route is over the Pacific. The only reason there is a lot less traffic over the Pacific is that 90% of earths people are in the North Hemisphere, so 90% of airline travel is in the NH. On the other hand most of the Pacific is in the Southern Hemisphere. Its that simple, and didnt take 9 minutes to say it

I’ve actually flown this route many times, from Osaka to Honolulu. Literally crossing the pacific. We apply a special requirement called ETOPS where we can fly along routes with the nearest airport can be 3 hours away… in our case it was midway island as en route diversion airport should there be an emergency
Aviation mech on 737 and i came here for this answer. but i guess we can let everyone else assume.
ETOPS is a certification for models of aircraft which came about when airplane manufacturers went from four to three to two engines on their aircraft. It involves certifying engine reliability and that the plane can fly for a certain numbers of minutes on one engine. Other requirements involve crew training and sometimes additional backup hydraulic and electrical systems.
To put it into layman’s terms, its the same like before you go for a long road trip with your car. Surely before heading out you service or at least check the oil, tyres and everything. And plan where are you going to stop and refuel or if repairs are needed. That’s basically the idea of ETOPS
ETOPs = Engines Turn or People Swim. 🤣🛫I have crossed the Pacific many times.
@@TheFalconJetDriver well, there were several cases when passenger aircrafts experienced shutdown of ALL engines and had to glide to land. One was the cross Canada flight where the poorly educated people didn't put enough fuel into the plane. Another also Canadian plane on a transatlantic flight when they lost fuel due to a leak and had to glide down to Azores for emergency landing. Once a 747 all 4 engines stopped working due to the plane flying into the volcanic ash cloud. Also the flight from LGA that landed on the Hudson river in NY/NJ border, but that flight only lasted a few minutes, since they didn't climbed very high before both engines were damaged by birds.
I work for an airline & I send planes over the Pacific often. We might take the “Alaskan” or “Russian” route or we might not. It depends on the winds and turbulence mostly. We also need overflight permits from Russia that can take about a week to get. In the winter, a lot of the airports in AK aren’t ideal conditions, so we’ll go over the Pacific to use HI, Midway, Guam, etc. in case of emergency. You could read about ETOPS rules for airplanes over the Pacific & Atlantic if you’re interested.
But how does ETOPS work for the popular madrid-bogota route?
@@dreamthedream8929I’m not familiar with the route, but you can pretty much fly anywhere with 180 ETOPS. I think there is a NAT track that goes SW from Europe that you could use. I believe that the FAA prohibits flying over Venezuela though. You could find suitable ETOPS alternates whether you went North or South of Venezuela. There are some in West Africa if going South.

They do fly across the Pacific. All the time. Everyday. Hundreds of them.
My wife is from the Philippines and we go back there every four years or so. We normally take the faster Alaska route, which takes us to Manila, usually stopping in either Taipei or Hong Kong. One year we took the "scenic" route, across the Pacific with a stop in Hawaii. It was longer, but a more interesting trip. Due to technical problems with the aircraft, we got to stay in a hotel in Honolulu for a day. Yes, they do fly over the Pacific, but it's not the preferred route.
Right?!
Not unless they are headed to the Hawaiian, Polynesian, etc.Islands. For example, a flight from Seattle to Tokyo goes over Aleutian Straights, unless there is a weather or traffic issue.

Having flown several times between Australia and Los Angeles and New Zealand and Los Angeles there's no choice, but over the Pacific. Closest airport passed over was Nuku'Alofa, Tonga and that was still a long way, At 38,000 ft it's usually smooth - maybe a few bumps
at the inter-tropical convergence zone.
It is a super smooth passage generally. I loved flying on the now-retired 747 where they have a snack bar at the back.

I've flown from LAX to Sydney. That's why I clicked on the video. I'm like, "They fly over the Pacific all the time". Long flight, but Australia is great.
Ships do the same. Steaming straight across is called a rhumb line route. Heading north thru the Aleutian Islands then SW to asia,etc is called a great circle route, much shorter
Check out the flight or shipping routes on the Gleason map, and all will be revealed.
Not quite... Although the short route is short in nature, some flights would prefer riding the stream, in order to save fuel. If there is absolutely no wind, what you said would be true. If you take the spin of the earth into consideration, then routes also would vary somehow.
To say that planes fly a certain way to make use of favorable winds may be correct, but I watch planes flying opposite directions on the same day, both with same speed and model of aircraft. Can't both be right. The fact is the earth is as flat as a pool table. Gleasons map is correct. The earth is not a ball. I've done my research.
@@robertstonestreet6079 You still believe the earth is flat, interesting.
If a plane flies from the west, say U.S. to East Asia, because the jet stream is from the west to the east across the Pacific, at least in the northern hemisphere, in order to avoid the headwind, that plane's flight is on a great circle. In the opposite direction, when the plane flies from East Asia to north America, it does not use the great circle any more, but sometime, it follows the latitude line, which is a longer path, but assisted by the jet stream, the tailwind helps the plane save fuel and time. So the wind field is a factor that the flight planner would need to take into consideration.
no planes over the pacific:

@@larry4111 Hey lets face it -- this guy will do literally anything for another video. The fact is, 90% of earths land mass, and 90% of earths people, are in the N Hemi. Most of the pacific is in the S Hemi. Does that help? They fly over the Pacific when there is a reason to fly over it. Most people would realize the answer to this question by simply examining a globe map of earth.
To summarize: Because of the Earth’s rotation and curvature, air currents tend to flow west to east. You want the wind at your back, not at your front. It’s faster and cheaper that way. I could explain how wind works and drag this out to an eight minute forty-six second read, but nobody actually wants to hear that.
Plz do
Dude, that's not even close to answering why we don't fly in straight lines across the surface of the globe.....
AndyRock1
That’s because of the Coriolis effect. As things move across the globe, they never move in a straight line due to the round shape of the Earth and it’s rotation. However, this is only apparent in things that cover large distances, like air, water, and planes. It’s impossible to fly a truly straight line across the globe, because you’d have to constantly be slightly turning to do that, and you wouldn’t end up at the intended destination. Flying straight to a destination (from a map view) will always look like making a large curve (from a globe view), as long as the starting and end points are far enough away. This, as Ruairi O'Donoghue mentions in another comment below, is called a great circle route. Another name for it is a geodesic.
I didn’t address that, because that’s not relevant to the title. The title of the video asks why planes don’t fly over the Pacific Ocean, which only makes sense from a Western Hemisphere point of view. To a person in the Eastern Hemisphere, traveling to the Western Hemisphere is likely to be done via flying over the Pacific Ocean.
Edited something because I remembered how the Coriolis effect worked. Edited it again because I remembered how the Coriolis effect worked, but better that time.
Thanks, you save my 8mins

No no, the cost of bottled water onboard keeps reminding me..!
Bottled water second biggest scam on the people of earth. Global warming was the first. Original data from 1934 we were the hottest ever recorded and no cars. Ok some cars. We have been basically cooling ever since. More likely ice age
@@mattlord2906 Bottled water on airplanes is expensive => Global warming is a hoax...
Are you high or something??
@@evangelospapadopoulos2292 presumably he's at 40,000 feet flying over the Pacific :p
oh god, the price of mineral water on the plane, makes me cry
Plastic water bottles.....but let's get rid of straws. LOL
Cliff’s Notes: The Arctic route is shorter than the Pacific route, because sphere.
Nobody flies over Antarctica. Earth is no sphere.
Eddie Lap Lap please tell me you’re joking
Gamble Family 45107 Proof and science please, then explain why heliocentric science predicts astronomical events to the day and often minute, and does so decades into the future. And has for many decades, even centuries in some cases. You know like eclipses, comet returns etc. A flat earth is a fairy tale with no proven science whatsoever. If you base flat earth on bible, books and verses please.
Eddie Lap Lap Oh the antarctic thing again. Commercial planes no because it is a frozen continent but many have been there to see the penguins. Expeditions available. You are not a morgile, great wall of ice are you. If so show pics of the great wall in all hemispheres or the armada stopping you 😂
Eddie Lap Lap is the moon a disc too?
I fly Detroit to Tokyo on a regular basis. It's the shortest route to go up and over and on occasion you can actually see the Aleutian Islands as you fly over.
In 1960 I had the privilege of flying nearly straight across the Pacific. It was a military C-121 (Super Connie ). We made stops at Hawaii, Midway, Wake, and Guam on the way to Tokyo. Incredible aircraft!!
Was it a military chartered Flying Tiger airlines by chance? If so, I did the same trip in 61 as a military brat going to Korea. We made stops in Hawaii and Wake, in fact, we were broke down on Wake for a couple until spare parts could be flown in. I remember the Mae West vests (we had in-flight engine problems) and meals out of carboard boxes. Noisy, vibrating, fire belching smoking engines. Quite the trip. I was 6 years old.
I made the same flight, same plane in 1969, final destitution Kempo Airbase, Korea.
I miss wake island, I've been there quite a few times on KC-10s
Did that same run in 1966! On a pan am 707 ! I was 14 , NAS air station! Guam18 months!
@@richardkilgore8922 same brother small world
Living in Hawaii and flying to Japan once a year had me very confused on how I get there without going over the Pacific.
2Salty 4u? Sure?
r/woooosh
Giron Creations sure?
TheDooDooBerry Take a look on the flath earth map, and you won't be surprised anymore!
Ikr
They absolutely do. Literally every single day.
So what was that big blue thing down there on my flight from SFO-HNL-GUM-MNL?
As an Aussie when I went to the US I went over the pacific twice lol 😂 Sydney to LAX is a direct path across the pacific?!?
Same!! I've gone LAX to Sydney and back almost half a dozen times in the past four years lol..
Plus Nz to US. And Sth Amercia to NZ. And Tahiti to LAX. And Fiji to LAX. And Guam to Hawaii. And Hawaii to mainland. It must be embarrassing when you make an entire video..... And balls it up.
you guys did watch the whole clip right? he said Aus/US is a direct flight over the pacific...u didn't just read the title and comment did u? wow
Yes air, same from when I flew from LAX to Tahiti
@@user-xg2dk7ff2k so what you're saying is, that he shouldn't clickbait a title saying why planes dont fly over the Pacific
“Earth isn’t flat huh”
*Flat Earth Society* : Sure...
well if you take a look at the flat earth map it makes total sense why we'd fly over Alaska... common sense. flat stationary, not what youve been taught.
Brian Cope you a flat earther?
@@Measuring_Mountains yuk
@@Measuring_Mountains, your only accomplishment with that fatuous post is to broadcast that you're only employable as menial labor. Bet you're a big hit with the ladies, though. Am I right?
Flat earthers......hhhhumpph. But there are foreign airlines that fly over the pacific Ocean. Doooooh🤦
Why dont planes fly over the Pacific Ocean?
Me: Flying to New Zealand looking at the map on my seat back screen....
Am I a joke to you?? 🤣
In the USAF, I flew OVER the Pacific many times. CA to Hawaii, to Guam, to Japan.
Depending on their destination, they do fly over the Pacific. How else would they get from the West Coast to Australia or the Philippines? Certainly not by following the coast line.
Long story short: it's the shortest distance. Earth is round. Don't have to spend 10mins
He needs the video to be 10min to receive money from youtube.
dinoripper123 that’s not how that works but ok
dinoripper123 No it is not. If you’re video is over 10 minutes long you can choose to put multiple ads on it and get more money. First of all that doesn’t mean longer videos automatically earn more money, a 5 minute video with one ad will generate the same amount of money as a 30 minute video with one ad. Second this video is only 9:23 seconds long so it can only have one ad on it.
Its flat watch Eric dubay
@@luckygames2558 No.
Dunno how I got here but this was really fun and informative!
Title: "Why Planes Don't Fly Over the Pacific Ocean"
Me: ummm, they do.
Agreed! I frequently fly from LAX to New Zealand and its ALWAYS over the Pacific Ocean.
I have flown over the Pacific Ocean many times
@@hamzag9561 Ikr
@@lifebybill1326 Yeah same. I have no idea why they made this video
Yup. He specifically mentions that in the video. Poorly named video. He contradicts himself when he says something to the effect that "IF you're flying to Australia, you have to fly over the pacific"
"a little bit of girth goes a long way" - that's what she said
😆😆😆😆
Don't let em lie to you my boy...most honest women will tell ya you need length and girth to do the trick 😜
She was just humoring you boy ...tip avoid milfs once theyve had a babys head through them u wont even touch the sides …they need black or multiple or the fists
It’s called great circles. It has been the standard for most flights paths. Great circles are also used by ships as the preferred path.
Not a real explanation. Great circle are used ANYWHERE on flys.
The answer is that most of the Pacific is in the SOUTH, but only 10% of earth land area and population is in the south. So 90% of flying is on the North
Thank u this was so straight forward most books u read try to over explain this but this was percect
*perfect
So then "perfect" is a vid, the title of which claims planes dont fly over the pacific???' That is a lie
The answer to this is: Planes do fly over the pacific every time the most cost effective route is over the Pacific.
The only reason there is a lot less traffic over the Pacific is that 90% of earths people are in the North Hemisphere, so 90% of airline travel is in the NH. On the other hand most of the Pacific is in the Southern Hemisphere.
Its that simple, and didnt take 9 minutes to say it
Lol, you just asked "Why are you responding to my comment after a year has gone by?"
Then you delete the question apparently.
Possible answers: Because I wanted to? What is it about "a year"?? How old was the vid when YOU responded to it? Why did you respond after all that time?
Question, if you didnt desire a comment, why is your comment still there? Obviously you do know how to delete comments, correct?
Botton line: this is a public form. It is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS as to what or when I chose to make a comment.
Having a difficult day maybe? So sorry.......
