Flight from Anchorage to Helsinski = PHEW FE Map

By the globe assumption, Anchorage - Helsinski is supposedly only 6,512 km.

Reality of the flight route:
Anchorage - Seattle - Amsterdam - Helsinski, which equals 2309 km + 7825 km + 1517 km = 11,651 km.

Why choosing 11,651 km, instead of  6,512 km? 

Globe doesn't exist. 👌

Why? Because there are no direct flights from Anchorage to Helsinki. Which has no bearing on the shape of the earth. If you have a problem with that, maybe contact Alaska Airlines and ask why they don't have a direct flight to Finland.

In the mean time, you're stuck with this:



With three flights like this:

Anchorage - Seattle - Amsterdam - Helsinski

Isn't a direct route. If you like, you can make it even more ridiculous by going to Australia.
You have been provided plenty of direct routes that don't work on your broken map.

Asking to any authority or such is so far useless. Either they came up like balloons  or just said like an idiot 

But it's strange enough... for such a 'short distance' there has been NO a single direct flight.
Yeah because it's impossible. 👌

No, it isn't strange at all.

Just how many people do you think are travelling from Alaska to Helsinki?
Not many.
So it makes no sense to have a flight there.

Meanwhile, the flight from Seattle to Amsterdam makes no sense on your Fake Earth.

6,000 km isn't that short a distance. Why don't you take the time, go to a travel agent, and ask them why airlines won't do a direct flight from Anchorage to Helsinski? In the meantime, why dont you investigate if the air force do direct flights there?

Since when is 6,512 km a "short distance"? By what measure? That's 4000 miles+. That's like from New York all the way across the Atlantic to Munich. You consider that a "short distance"?

And by your logic, if there isn't a direct flight between any two cities on the planet it must be because "...it's impossible". You logic is impossibly flawed.

If you want me to refute your claims, the flight from Chile to Australia is way too far of a distance on the flat earth map (the generally accepted one) which is actually an azimuthal equidistant projection of the globe. I've attached an image for reference. The actual flight takes 12 hours, and for reference, I've included New York to London which is 7 hours for reference. The reason why there is an arc is because arcs have shorter distance to travel on our globe Earth. Ignore the line extending to Antarctica, it should only go to Chile. So no, you aren't right. This flight proves the Earth's sphericity. The flight times don't match up.

`

Also, the reason why they choose the longer flight is because it's not one continuous path. They hop on different planes at the cities' airport. It's called a connecting flight. It ends up being cheaper than just fueling up one plane and going.

That won't help for him.
He uses a south pole centred one.

No worries.



Same thing but in reverse. 7 hour flight longer distance than 12 hour one?

Easy! its 'cause of the economy.

Or the map is wrong.

Or the map is wrong.

Ding, ding, ding!

Or the map is wrong.

Exactly. The flat earth maps are all wrong. Good to see you are learning.

You guys probably live inpolitically sensitive zones - where you can't see the errors.
Speculation, but not completely unevidenced.

What is a "politically sensitive zone"?

I dare not say...

Just kidding.

Are you kidding that I live in a "politically sensitive zone"?

Be clear.

Interesting but flight distances do not work on a flat map.  Otherwise, you'd be able to explain this.

Another victory for PHEW FE 

Airplane can even compete with the sun, so why bother to consider travel time?

"800 kph" is too slow for a long distance flight.

Stick to logic. Why going through Seattle?

Illogical for a globe, and, sorry, also for a conventional FE.

MicroBeta, please convert to PHEW FE sect 

Airplane can even compete with the sun, so why bother to consider travel time?

"800 kph" is too slow for a long distance flight.

How so?

Flight time is set to fulfill globe logic. So the speed can be set based on routes.

If there had been a regulation to limit the speed for maximum 800 kph, PHEW FE would had been revealed since a long time ago.

Portland - San Francisco - Barcelona - Helsinski.

Wt...

But that's logical for PHEW FE 

Portland - San Francisco - Barcelona - Helsinski.

Wt...

Umm, there isn't a direct flight between Portland and Helsinki because airlines arrange their flight legs based upon demand and profit margins. How do you not understand the basics of industry economics?

As your travel agent, the best I can do for you is:

Portland (PDX) to Seattle (SEA) to Reykjavνk, Iceland (KEF) to Helsinki (HEL)







That real flight blows up your PHEW Map. Try again.

Airplane can even compete with the sun, so why bother to consider travel time?

That fundamentally depends on the aircraft, and where it is fying.
At the poles, it is trivial to beat the sun and you can do so by walking.
At the equator it is much harder.

"800 kph" is too slow for a long distance flight.

Not by much. The cruising speed isn't much higher than that, and when you account for the slow speed of take-off and landing, and the fact that they don't fly in straight lines to their destination it is reasonable.

Stick to logic. Why going through Seattle?

Already explained.
Not enough people want to fly between those locations to make the flight economically viable.
Even Seattle to Amsterdam is a massive problem for you.
You have been provided with plenty of flights which show your model makes no sense.
