@@ChrMuslimThor I've been recently, it's not that bad, however Munich is way better. What's good in Frankfurt is the public transport nearby as well as the long-distance train station for example

How ever crazy it might sound Newark airport (one of two airports for New York) has been crowned to be one of the worst if not THE worst airport in the US. Been there myself for quite some hours during a layover and I can vouch for that it is really really bad!
Good one. Changi is one hell of a great airport. Never been to Newark-Liberty before though. Flew through LaGuardia in April, and it has improved greatly since I was last there many years ago.
This video should be titled “Sam Roasts Newark Airport for 6 Minutes”
CJets he could make a series on that
Kyle A I’d like that. Or just every other airport in the US and why they’re better than Newark.
Never been to Newark Airport, but I'm avoiding it after watching this 😆
@@HaveIGotMuseForYou You're lucky. He isn't exaggerating.
Exactly. By the end I was like, show me on the doll where the Newark hurt you.
I feel like he’s pissed about waiting in newark so he made this video just as a rant about it
I mean I wouldn't call it a rant.
newark is literally the worst though
as a new jerseyan who has to leave from newark sometimes. i have no words for how awful it is.

it sucks I was there a few weeks ago and it was my first time there let me just say never again
Laura Anne Oh no I’m arriving there next summer save me
As a New Jersey resident, I both feel offended, but also 100% agree with everything said about Newark Airport
You should have said
"NEVeR before have I been so offended with something I 100% agree with"
As a New Jersey resident also, can 100% confirm what Sam said is true.
Womp Womp indeed
my condolences for you being a new jersey resident, get well soon
As another New Jersey resident, I can say it’s hard to argue with his assessment…
But LaGuardia is worse no matter what.
5:02: I like the fact that somewhere between Shanghai and Sao Paulo, the captain is like: 'If you look to your left, you can see the city of Tromso, Norway'
One of my favourite cities in the world is Montreal. On the flight between JFK and Taipei, we pass *directly* over it -- which still breaks my brain.
I only grasped the geography of that route because of this comment 👍
Does this guy like Newark airport? I honestly can’t tell.
To be fair it is pretty terrible
Timur Sultanov yea I know I live on the island and fly out of there pretty often it’s horrible
Being from Long Island the only reason to go to Newark Airport is because it has cheep flights and JFK is so God damn expensive.

I love how Sao Paulo-Tokyo goes through the Pacific Ocean but Sao Paulo-Shanghai goes through the arctic
It’s a great circle, Sao paolo-tokyo was displayed on a Mercator map so it had to be across the Pacific since the projection cuts off the arctic. Sao paolo-Shanghai was displayed on the globe so it didn’t have that restriction. Realistically since the airports are antipodal the great circle could go through any part of the world. It could fly over the North Pole, the South Pole, over London, over New York, although realistically airlines don’t like flying over oceans in case of contingency so it would probably go the arctic route because it flies over the most land
I attempted to fly between Tokyo Haneda and São Paulo in Infinite Flight, and it turns out, the fastest way to get there is to go up north over Russia, then down across North America, then the Caribbean and then finally over Brazil. I got about 4/5 of the way there before the app crashed and it took about 14 hours
But absolutely no person has crossed or circumnavigated Antarctica........ Hmm
Since it's near antipodal, it doesn't make that much of a difference of a route. If you draw a line in any direction originating at some point on a sphere, you'll eventually intersect with the antipode. Probably at most will take another couple of hours if you go the other way.

There are nonstop flights from São Paulo to Doha and Dubai.
Yep, I was looking for this comment. Isn't there an Emirates flight from Rio to Dubai as well?
Yes, and now São Paulo to Tel Aviv too.
And São Paulo-Istambul too (although the airport is in the European part, I guess).
I hope Sam adresses that in his yearly mistakes video.
There are people who *still* keep associating Asia with Mumbai (South), Tokyo (East), and Bangkok (Southeast) and not Istanbul or Doha (West) because something, something, geopolitics...
2:36 “it turns out that passenger aircraft needs passengers to get money”
_Ah yes, the floor is made out of floor_
Dos Gato II
Ah yes, water is wet
To be fair, there have been a history of passenger services which didnt primarily need passengers to make money.
Government sometimes subsidises an entire flight in return for keeping any ticket revenue. Similarly sometimes a passenger flight is carrying cargo which makes the flight profitable.
That's the joke..
kaushik ghosh
Rip
Weird. My floor is made of ground.
Fun fact, if you want to find the longest flight by flight time you are no longer looking for antipodes. Because flying east is faster than flying west, you are looking for two cities where reaching it by flying in an eastward direction takes exactly as long as reaching it by flying westward. That city will be geographically closer to the west than the east.
The route could fly east both ways as that could be faster if they were true antipodes
Ez. Fly from Singapore to Singapore, literally 50 hours around the equator and your done.

I like how "insufficient demand" counts as making a flight impossible but "no passenger plane in production has sufficient range" doesn't.
Sam explicitly said he didn't care about range restrictions in the opening minute of the video
I thought this too 😂
I think you missed the beginning, this is in a world without range restrictions or Newark Airport.
To be fair, insuficient demand is a much stronger reason than lack of capable aircraft, because demand could cause that aircraft to be made. In theory at least.
We’ll have aircraft with the kindve ranged mentioned in this video probably within the next 20 to 40 years, however I doubt tangier and that small New Zealand town will ever have demand to support a flight no matter how long we wait

@@ftblaze6175 that’s not what non-stop means. All non-stop means is that there are no layovers, or stops, during the flight.
Newark: *exists*

There actually is a flight from Asia to South America operated by Emirates who fly from Dubai to Sao Paulo
Nonstop flights / Operating : DXB-GRU, DOH-GRU / Extinct : DXB-GIG, AUH-GRU, TLV-GRU, BEY-GRU, CCS-DAM
There are also flights from São Paulo to Doha
Sam considers Asia and the Middle East separate continents, the same way South and North America are.
Hey, just saying... Whangarei is pronounced with a "ph" sound. This could be added in your yearly mistakes videos. So like "Phun-ga-rey" that's how you'd pronounce Whangarei. Much love from NZ.
Was just going to say this, but thought it best to check comments section. 😊
What's a ph sound ?
Like "phone"
Wikipedia lists Wendover's pronunciation as one of the possible two. The other being the one I assume you are defining
Wanfarfei?
Sam, firstly, I LOVE all of your videos -- I always look forward to your new episodes. Keeping this short, I wanted to surface that Dubai, Doha, Tel Aviv and Istanbul are all Asian cities --- often overlooked as being Asian as they are not the "Far East", yet categorized as EMEA-- and all 4 have non-stop services to either Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Caracas, Bogota, and Panama City (acknowledging PTY being trivial if considered South America).
Istanbul is debatable, because there is no defined line between Europe and Asia, but the rest are absolutely on the continent of Asia.
@@wta1518 Well it depends on what side of the Bosphorus Strait the airport is on (Istanbul's main airport is on the European side, so Istanbul doesn't count
Good point, but these would be beyond the scope of the video as they are far from antipodal. Only Far Eastern cities meet the criteria of totally antipodal.
I think a flight between Buenos Aires, Argentina and Seoul, South Korea would have lot of demand too, and there is a distance of 19.420km between both cities :)
While São Paulo (which will henceforth be initialised as SP) Shanghai may be the longest route with substantial demand, you can theoretically construct longer routes.
As mentioned before within the video, SP Shanghai is longer than SP Tokyo, however if you keep moving south within Japan, longer routes can occur:
SP Osaka is longer than SP Shanghai
SP Fukuoka is longer than SP Osaka
SP Kumamoto is longer than SP Fukuoka
All the way up to SP Okinawa, on the Ryukyu islands, is the theoretical longest reasonable* route between SP and Asia.
*Whilst you could land a plane in the Philippine Sea, it would likely not be considered reasonable
Route to Fukuoka seems especially legit, this is a fast-growing city with a somewhat big metropolitan area. But of course Osaka should have much more demand.
Brasilia to Manila. 18,838 km also pretty reasonable. Long runways and everything

@@user-hq2mh4ec6r So you're a Japanese-Brazilian living in Canada? Usually, there quite a bunch of young adults from Europe visiting Canada before or while studying, so if you find yourself one of these, say of African origin or descent, and the two of you have kids and those kids move to Australia, they would be the most international fellas ever having connections to each inhabited continent in the world. I would suggest they become scientists and visit Antarctica every know and then.
Idea: the plane goes all the way around the world from an airport to land back at the same airport.
As a New Jersey native I would like to point out that you can practically visit every continent from Newark except Antarctica. Newark also has many different food options among their terminals. The only terminal that is bad is terminal B, but C and A are pretty good.
Flight 370 is the longest flight ever.

What is interesting about the Newark-Singapore flight is that it goes eastwards both directions. Newark to Singapore goes over Europe and India; Singapore to Newark goes past Japan, Alaska and Canada. So you really do go around the world.
I wonder if it has something to do with air currents in the atmosphere, that because each distance is close to the same it makes more sense in terms of time and especially fuel to fly in a way that takes advantage of favorable winds in both directions.
@@northstarjakobsIt does.
Emirates and Qatar Airways be like: is OUR flights to south america NOT flights to south america?
zhuoli xie Turkish Airways operates to several South American countries as well..
And LATAM operates to Tel Aviv too.
Much to my surprise, the flight failed to pop up to my mind, but the point that Asia has nonstop to South America doesn't change
@@zhuolixie5922 am if u haven't noticed Emirates airlines and qatar is located in Asia , west Asia just to be sure
Yeah, flying via West Asia (Middle East) from East or Southeast Asia to South America is simply improbable, too long, and too expensive.
For example, it takes *13 hours* flying from Taipei to Istanbul (Turkish Airlines 25), and then another *13 hours* from Istanbul to GRU (Turkish 15). Add to that the *6+ hours layover* in Istanbul, and you'd be spending about 1.5 days one-way flying. Too damn long and impractical!

I only flew to Newark airport once, and on the way back, was met with a 6 hour delay. Most the time at any other airport, there are no delays at all, and if any, are minor. Also I found it strange that the terminals aren't really connected, so we had the choice of 3-4 restaurants, and no where interesting to walk around to.
Everyone: **talking about Newark**
Me: "Whangarei, my home 😊"
Planes exist:
HAI: it’s free airspace
Correction there are non-stop flights from Tel Aviv which is it Asia to Chile via Brasil
There is also Rio-Dubai, São Paulo-Dubai and São Paulo-Istambul. There used to be São Paulo-Doha but now they need to stop in Athens because of the embargo by Saudi Arabia.
Pronouncing Whangerei as "Wongeray" really hurt lol
Arirezz pronouncing otahuhu as otahu is the worst.
Rowan M that’s how everyone pronounces it tho 😂
The longest non-stop flight would have mid-air refuelling, resupply, and repairs. Sold as constantly around the world.
Maybe, but the only route I can think of that could sustain such a route is
Los Angeles
New York
London
Dubai
Tokyo
Singapore
Los Angeles
Repeat, maybe with a stop in Sydney once in a while.
Bruh, the solution's simple just extend Whangarei's runway through an entire town and into the ocean so big planes can land there. Problem solved.

Heh, interesting.. I'm from Brazil, japanese descendant, and the first thing that came to mind was my trip to Japan, last year.
I wish I could go more there, but it was my second trip. The first we went through the Pacific, going all the way up to Toronto, passing through Sao Paulo and New York, and then taking a trip from there to Haneda.
Last year we went the other way, with a midway stop at Qatar, and then Narita.
It's rough you guys... between packing your bags and getting to the destination it's a full day or more. Usually more because of connections, you have to wait a long time between planes.

Argentina also has a rapidly growing Chinese community (120,000 strong in 2010, probably far higher now), mostly from Fujian, and the distance from Buenos Aires to Fujian (or Shanghai, for that matter) is about 19,000 kms. Migration patterns might soon make some air routes profitable.
