Stack, - Attached is a photo of global flight paths and the surrounding temperatures. I highlighted the routes northern and southern planes fly in-between.
I understand that flights take 10+ hours between the southern continents the same as the northern continents. Same distance then? But there is a difference in temperature conditions which need to be considered.
All of the flights down south fly in warmer temperatures on average then the northern flights.
This can explain why planes take the same time to travel different distances. Cold air makes planes really fast and warm air slow.
That's why planes go out of there way to fly way north and way south (if possible) to take advantage of colder weather as shown in the attached image.
Some say the round flight paths are because the earth is curved and it's a more direct route, but I think it's the weather.
It's a good explanation I think. For distance sake, I'd say keep the ocean distances the same in the Northern Hemisphere where it's been travelled a lot but consider at least a difference down south where weather plays a factor.
