Flat Earth Investigations / Re: Investigating flight paths experiment for round earthers

I'd like to join in, but there seems to be a lack of available flights at the moment due to .. you know .. the pandemic and such.

I spent some time on it, but gave up. Sorry.

Try searching for April/May flights

Flat Earth Investigations / Investigating flight paths experiment for round earthers

« on: March 15, 2022, 11:38:34 PM »

I challenge round earthers to an experiment. Google search and find an airline plane ticket booking website of your choosing. Search for flights from and to the following two destinations below:

Perth (Australia) ---------> Buenos Aires (Argentina)

Auckland (New Zealand) ---------> Cape town (Africa)

Filter for "fastest". Now click on any of the first few and plot the flight path on a globe earth and then on a flat earth map. Report back with results.

EDIT: Here are the results of the investigation:

Now let’s see which way the fastest available commercial flight route takes us…

But don’t take my word for it.. try it yourself. You’ll actually find some flight paths that seem to go right over the North pole on a flat earth map..
