Imagine Sam trying to doing this in under 100 hours without much of a plan on a tight budget while doing random challenges
Impossible, can't imagine it, unless he teams up with Real Life Lore
@@theflev-matic4892 nah he must team up with the logistics man wandever something
/s
He should do that in a new channel specifically for this type of game!!
@@JoaoOliveira-wi3hc only if he goes insane
Nah, he would be this crazy, plus his editor wont let him
This would be great as some sort of international travel competition.
You like read my mind or something
Well... Sam is uploading videos of a Circumnavigating race.
lol
@@DepankarBisoy its a joke
@@mcbeclips7899 well.. who knows this guy might have not heard about jet lag
I think this would be a very great game show where you circumnavigate the globe in less than 100 hours
You like read my mind or something
th-cam.com/video/Gta43oOV4Ag/w-d-xo.html
I would watch the heck out of that
It'd be pretty crazy if they made a whole channel dedicated to a game show about this that is named after the headline of the article about the guy who holds the current world record which is shown at 2:19
You like read my mind or something
Hmm but that sounds like it would get a little repetitive after a while, so maybe they should mix the concept up with some children's games, like tag for example, or connect four.
Imagine if instead of circumnavigating or playing tag, they tried to get to as many US states as possible or something. Idk, just an idea
@T S search “jet lag the game” on youtube
Yeah so I know my math sucks and there are actually 9 hours you can catch a flight on the east coast. Don't forget to unsubscribe!
it's ok. We weren't paying attention anyways
Isis lost territory in Raqqa
Half as Interesting The rules say "The flights must be regularly scheduled, commercial flights." Does this include seasonal flights (regularly scheduled, but only a few months a year)?
Wendover😀
You mean, don't forget to subscribe.
Little did we know at the time that he was going to make a series/competition based on this video.

nothing to see here
This comment is golden
Smooth! 😉

Totally missed that, Haha
I dont get it
Yo this would be great as some sort of competition where you have 100 hours to circumnavigate the globe, maybe even Real Life Lore could come?
And the editors too!
Oh.....you and the planes....
Planes are lit bro
Patrick Maco yeah they are

Oh...you and the damn train...

Jokes on you bud, with the magical power of LSD I can circumnavigate the world 19 times in 3 seconds
the only down side to that is that your name wont go in the record and nobody knows you did it
Can't find that magical airline 'LSD'. : D
UnPhayzable i
I can verify this is true
all you need is beer if you have a good imagination, you hippy btch. With oxy for flying higher
Little did we know, this video was a setup for the JetLag series!
Could you first imagine how Sam from Wendover would do this in less than 100 hours against his editors, and then find it this good so they put subscribers into this competition to see how crazy we were for thinking Sam would do this himself.
step 1: start your own airline
step 2: offer the fastest possible commercial flights around the word, but only for a single passenger (wich is you)
step 3: enjoy your unbeatable record

@@rhinozz43 its okay to correct people unless they boast about it
You still wouldn’t have a concorde though
Ok 👌
I'm pretty sure that if you had enough money you could convince Russia into sending you around the world in about an hour an a half; or you could wait till commercial orbital flights become more common.
i think the line between "circumnavigation" and "orbit" sorta gets drawn at the Karman line. I dunno if the FAI would jive with that.
*Commercial* Flights. Getting Russia to send you around in a spacecraft doesn't count.
Sup
If they get paid -> they are doing it for money -> it is commercial. btw love your videos cody!
I can't wait to beat this record on a BFR
This was in my recommended right after watching Jet Lag 😅

Oleg325 Channel nope sorry that makes 30.000 km
Nice work! Great that you used an origin point in the Southern Hemisphere. I'm trying to find a flight like this that comes from my hometown.
What happened to the 'that Wikipedia page' series?
Nice meme This channel is the replacement for that series.
doesn't seem like it
Nice meme Where did you find that profile pic? I saw so many people with a similar pic
It's a politicalcompass test. It shows your political leaning from left to right, and authoritarian to libertarian. It's somewhat interesting I think, and worth a try.
Most people's results I've seen (including my own) fall into the lower left quadrant.
KrazeeCain ok
3:12 thats not melbourne m8, its adelaide
dotwingz I know ayyy haha
Sydney also isn't in the ACT
What is Adelaide?
I live in melbourne you are correct and Adelaide is a city
i was gonna say that
3:14 Love how you mentioned Perth, the city that goes unnoticed a lot, but you pin pointed Melbourne wrong. That’s Adelaide.
Oops he hasn’t corrected it yet after 4 years I guess he doesn’t care
Let's be honest, Perth does not exist.
i love how everyone is now seeing this after binging jet lag
Then get dragged off at 8:05 👌👌👌
@@flightdeckpilot678 3:43
This was an awesome video and well-thought out sponsor plug. Well done for putting actual effort into your content
Whats up NJ❤
Funny seeing you here
4 years later, we get Sam from Wendover and Sam from HAI and Jet Lag: The Game, Season 2
Holy crap, the genesis for the race. Here it is.
All you need is 1 French ATC strike or annoying passenger to ruin your expensive attempt
"Now get out of here" 😂
Nooooo! Wendover production! Melbourne isn't placed correctly on the map!!! Where you placed it should be Adelaide not Melbourne
And Sydney isn't 30 minutes inland
Jonoflames I saw that too
Yeah. Cunts fucked it up.
Jonoflames same
I was waiting for the Melbournians to pick it up
Who else got this randomly recommended after Sam launched his game based on this and finale is tomorrow?
Me except its the finale for a different season of the game and the finale comes out next week
@@totallydaniel7 Me too
You got Melbourne in the wrong place
Ya thats Adelaide.
Also you can just fly from Perth to Sydney...
Alex Parker
Would’ve been quicker to go to Melbourne because there are more flights to Melbourne
I think this might make a good series on TH-cam, shame nobody has thought of it yet.
That pointer you put in "Melbourne" is actually where Adelaide is. Blame the Animator, but tread lightly because he apparently knows how to tie a knot.
Imagine sitting on planes for 53 straight hours to get the world record and then discovering there was someone else on board doing exactly the same thing. I'd be pissed!
Lol what if they we’re sitting in front of u on the plane so they just barely got it first
This aged poorly xDDDD
A lot of research for a t-shirt
some people have a lot of time
I do and I think that I've done it
@@hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhv So what was your itinerary?
Idk, maybe make a game show about it and try!
Calendar and time systems are cool. The fact that you can be moving for 15 hours but to time it's only 15 minutes is amazing.
That would be a fun challenge to do this in under 100h
You like read my mind or something
Same you read my mind

Melbourne - Auckland, Auckland - Santiago, Santiago - Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo - Dubai, Dubai - Singapore, Singapore - Melbourne.
Including stop overs over recomended 2hr before flight time: 44hours 55min with 38000+ kms
Steven Organ one problem: the scheduling doesn't come close to matching
Melbourne to Santiago can be one flight
But the record is for the time it takes INCLUDING layovers!
Just did a rough calculation and it would take over 3 days (about 83hrs) realistically
Post something like this goo.gl/flights/EuXr
and good luck
Circumnavigating the world is pretty easy... On Google Maps

Doha to Sydney to Auckland to Buenos Aires to London to Doha (48 hrs 10 mins)
Even though I am pretty late here, this is the best I could find:
You fly...
07th Sep 22 London -> Singapore -> Sydney [SQ305(09:25-05:30+) and SQ241(07:15+-16:55+)] = 22,50 hours / 17.152 km
08th Sep 22 Sydney -> Brisbane -> Los Angeles [QF542(17:35-19:05) and QF15(20:30-17:00)] = 17,09 hours / 12.306 km
08th Sep 22 Los Angeles -> London [VS142(18:05-12:25+)] = 11,41 hours / 8.750 km.
in total: 51,00 hours (incl. layover times) and 38.208 km, so matching the FAI criteria of a minimum distance of 36.787,56 km.
Sam has some Oda level foreshadowing
"Connect to the 5:50 United flight to Mexico City then get dragged off at 8:05" haha
After 4 years and 170’days, this information is finally useful in Jet Lag- The Game
Little did we know how relevant this video would become 🤣🤣🤣
A bit nitpicky but the dot you put for Melbourne is actually Adelaide, hundreds of kilometres west of Melbourne
lol i was just about to comment that but i wouldn't get any likes anyway because its january
Planes are life, planes are love
That was a smooth transition to your sponsor, I'm impressed.
Wow today he actually tried to do this 4 years later
Already know this videos gonna be good
Keep em coming Wendover
Once Project Sunrise begins, you could fly Sydney to New York, New York to London, then London to Sydney. In what I calculated 50 hours. But I thought London to New York was 10 hours not 7. Depends on the time one flight arrives and another leaves.
3:15 why did you put Melbourne where Adelaide is?
hey, so who won? And what was their time?
what an amazing channel!
the content is on point, the transition between every part of the video is brilliant,
the motion graphics makes it really easy to follow what you say,
and of course your sexy french voice is like the cherry on top.
I noticed when you showed the journey of where the two Australians flew you placed Melbourne's location where Adelaide's location is. Not to be nitpicking I just live in Adelaide so it's easy for me to notice.
Just an FYI, you showed Melbourne as being where Adelaide is located. This is an egregious oversight as one of these is the home of all significant Australian culture, and the other is Adelaide...
I love the video to sponsor transitions at the end of your videos. Masterfully executed
it would be insane if someone tried to do this in a competition
“You should go and find the fastest route and submit it to me” who could have predicted that 4 years later he would be using said routes in a competition
wdym?
@@clayel1 he is using this concept in a series on the channel called “jet lag”
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.
There's one problem in your strategy: You're 5000km short of the required distance. That's why the video mentions the detour to Mexico.
But you could do:
London-Dubai
Dubai-Shanghai
Shanghai-Singapore
Singapore-NY
NY-London
36,810km. Lots of flights between those hub destinations
Michael Garry that detours quite alot. Also SIN-new York isn't a route.
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.
Michael Garry yes, and? Im talking about time here, not distance. That many stops cant do good due to the one hour stop rule
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 😂😂😂
Your theory relies on United Airlines, which is a bit like the Seinfeld episode where George realizes his plan relies on Kramer
Would be cool if you did this with your friends in 100 hours and race to circumnavigate the world
0:44
Unless if flying back and forth while not crossing all timezones counts
Your transitions into your ads are so godly, that I ain't even mad when it pops up
Hey Half As Interesting I have just rewatched this great video again and thanks to the new(wish) non stop Qantas flight between London and Perth you can circumnavigate the world in 49hrs 30m, London - Perth - Melbourne - Los Angeles - London
Hell yeah, London to Sinagpore on the Concorde. I love Sinagpore
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.
Does it travel the required distance set by the FAI.
I love his aviation videos!
You could make this as a challenge with some of your friends/staff
It would be so funny if he actually tried this 😹
It would be even funnier if he did it as a collab with TH-camr peer RealLifeLore
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?
2:52
sinagpore
lmao well done
urghhh.. i hate how awesome the editing and graphics used in his videos. very well done and keeps people engaged.
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.

Bruh you got Melbourne in the wrong position on the map, and you got Sydney in the wrong spot aswell.
Every Video on this channel is great
3:46 - Dragged off LITERALLY. I will never forget that incident.
What was the shortest circumnavigation found?
What a *brilliant* video!
O wait that joke doesn't work with this video
Subbed to skillshare for your course. :) Used your link!
Annnnddd here we goooooo
I enjoyed the video. Thanks! What software do you use for the flight line animations on the globe? They would be great for photo travel slideshows
3:15 that's Adelaide lmao
Wait a minute…
Someone should make a game show out of this
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.
I like this channel. +1 subscriber.
would be a shame if someone tried to catch the singapore-san francisco flight but couldnt afford it because of gambling
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.
I've been watching these videos for like a year and just realized I want subscribed. Fixed that
I wonder whether peoples entries for the competition in this video provided any useful information for the challenge against Wendover this year. Perhaps the pandemic has changed flight patterns too much for this to be useful.
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)
If yu leave at 13:30 and arrive 15:10 you have to do 49h40m (not 49:55) but how you arrive at lax at 7pm and leave at 6:55??
oops well spotted- 15 less mins on plane
Had the wrong flight time on the LAX flight its 8:55 not 6:55 - to excited to spot typos
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.
I did that too until i realised that we need to use routes that exist at this moment
I think is enogh you could buy a ticket for this route. and you can! Its announced and scheduled
