Top Comments of this video!! :3
On the go?
Here is a brief description:
- Planes donât fly over the Pacific Ocean because planes take the polar route because it is shorter and it is much speedier! Compared to travelling across the Pacific Ocean!
- Don't forget the earth isn't flat which means if you travel in a straight line in line with the equator it is much longer!
- Moreover, you don't want an emergency landing in the middle of nowhere, so it much safer to travel near land but also avoiding airports on the way!
Hope this helped you, and enjoy your day! Love you all! If I get it wrong I am sorry I just summarised what I heard from the video! â¤ď¸

Iâve 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

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.

I work for an airline & I send planes over the Pacific often. We might take the âAlaskanâ or âRussianâ 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 arenât ideal conditions, so weâll 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 youâre interested.

When was the last time you were on a plane? Where did you go?
