I’m Brazilian and indeed flying to Asia is such a pain in the ass. Not only there is the enormous distance, the timezones will give you one hell of a jetlag. I flew from Sao Paulo to Bangkok last year via Frankfurt. Left my house on monday and arrived in my hotel on wednesday. Saw the sun set and rise four times...
The fact that South America is on the other side of the globe compared to Southeast Asia just gives a perspective how gargantuan the Pacific ocean actually is.
ah yes, this explains why it took me over 40 hours to get from Chile to Thailand. +bonus: on the last leg of the flight from Sao Pablo to Santiago, there was some type of storm or volcanic eruption (?) and we had to fly down to Buenos Aires and then over the Andes to Santiago, which added like 4 to 5 hours to our flight time (and a lot of turbulences). I never felt so sick and done with my life after that flight.
Hi!woow so long.. guess what, I'm going to ve on thailand for vacations soon, and I'm from no other than chile, I'm already trying to mentalice myself for this daaaanm. hope you enjoyed your stay over here, and quite a trip you did, only when you travel so long you realice how massive the world really is huh?.
Hey y’all. For the context of this video, I’m specifically referring to “Asia” as “East Asia” and to a lesser extent southern and southeastern Asia, which is the actual geographic region with no direct flights to South America. There are multiple flights to Brazil from countries in the Middle East, which is of course also part of Asia, but that isn’t the region I’m focusing this video on. I apologize for not clarifying this distinction in the video itself. Thank you for the comments pointing this out ✌️
Bruh it's not youtube thinking that. He made Japanese cc so people who speak Japanese can read it but he did not write it he left it as auto generated. It takes WAY less to do that.
Demand is another factor. Technically it's not impossible to fly direct from Asia to South America: it's about 6850 nmi from Mumbai, India to Salvador, Brazil, a distance that even the 77W can handle. But I suppose the demand is low.
@@nigelmarvin1387 yeah. I flew from Jakarta to Dubai which was roughly 8 hours, then stopover for 3 1/2 hours, then flew to Sao Paulo for 14h 45m then another stopover for 4 hours then roughly 2 hours to Brasilia. One of the longest flight someone from Indonesia could ever experience after Argentina. All with Emirates except from São Paulo to Brasilia (though technically it was a flight share with GOL)
I will never understand comments like this, we all knew it was "too far" before we clicked the video, we watched the video to find out why, why would you click the video if you didn't want the explanation, literally every video
And that's just one of the many fuck ups this video has lol Lets not even start on the fact that the entire premise of the video is wrong as there are flights from Dubai and Doha to Sao Paulo and Rio lmao
@@bababababababa6124 and the fact that he gave the Newark to Singapore distance in nautical miles, and the Beijing to Sao Paulo distance in statute miles.
My guess prior to watching the video was something more complex. Didn't think they'd spend a full 6 minutes just saying something as simple as "It's too far" (1 minute for Skillshare).
There's one more important commercial reason. It's a lot more risk to expect long and expensive flights to be fully booked and meet the revenue goals. This is why even shorter distances like Europe to SE Asia have a change in one of the major hubs - people who fly one leg disperse to various other routes for their second leg. Everyone pretty much meets in one place to take second plane to the final destination. Anyone who had a change in airports like Vienna, Paris, Frankfurt, Istanbul (I'm in Europe, but I'm sure your continent has equivalents), could get a feeling that airport is very very busy... and then 2-4h later it's a ghost town. This type of transport problem has a name - spoke-hub distribution paradigm. Any flights that can't be incorporated into existing hub model are more risk to manage, they are outside of the existing flights network (within a certain airline) and any revenue mitigation for seasonality or popularity of the destination is just difficult.
Some decades ago there was a direct South Polar flight from South America to Australia (and back) and then to other countries in Asia. After that, during the nineties and 2000’s Malaysia Airlines was the only regional airlines flying directly from Kuala Lumpur to Buenos Aires (and back) with 2 stopovers in Johannesburg and Cape Town. I guess costs was an issue and after operating with 747’s very successfully, those flights stoped.
I've heard my entire childhood that if start digging a hole without stop, I eventually would get in China. Now I know it's nonsense, I would emerge in Philippines actually.
Some trivia to bring up on your next date: The exact antipode of Taiwan is a province of Argentina called Formosa, and the historical European name for Taiwan is also Formosa.
My longest travel in plane was Paris/Hong-Kong in 1992 aboard a 747, it landed at the ancien airport in the middle of the bay. It was a difficult one for pilot. Everyone applaused.
Just a side note: technichally feasible? Yes, it is. But it's probably way too expensive to be profitable, so airline companies wouldn't be interested in buying an aircraft that flies extra 3,000 miles (which is good for one route only), and spend tons more in fuel and on the cost of the aircraft itself. So no manufacturer will ever spend time developing an airplane for this narrow specific market. Unless there's a breakthrough on fuel consumption/weight technology, or some weird billionaire decides to fly from South America to Asia every week and is willing to pay for that.
So if it's not economic to fly non- stop from a market of thousands of millions to a market of hundreds of millions from one side of the Pacific to another then why is it that several airlines including Air New Zealand fly multiple routes every day from New Zealand (5 million People) to North America non stop across the whole Pacific and even further to Houston, Chicago and now New York, apart from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Vancouver. Even more airlines, including Qantas fly even more routes daily to North America across the Pacific from Australia (25 million people). It's not about distance it's about connections between closely associated nations. Having said that there are also non-stop flights between Australia and New Zealand and South America across the Pacific including those that skirt Antarctica. There's not a lot of sense in this video!
It's not technically feasible from safety perspective. Most airliners that have ETOPS certification couldn't even reach safely reach their furthest destination without hopping hub to hub. Not to mention during 1 engine failure when crossing the ocean that would be a nightmare. And not all airlines have A380 and long range 777s/A350s. And most of these Asian market don't have south American destinations as a main market in mind due to their hostile region label and demand. As an Asian I don't wanna go to South America. It's too dangerous.
While the Market isn't quite there yet atm for east asia to south America, the planes needed for other similarly distanced routes are. Thus they are being made. It's just whether anyone else besides Qantas will buy them. I could potentially see JAL or ANA considering it and running between Tokyo and Brasil given the largest expat Japanese population is in Brazil.
What’s even more ironic is that Paraguay is one of the few nations in the world that have diplomatic relations with Taiwan, they are connected in more ways than one
*Fun fact:* Close to Asuncion, Paraguay in Argentina there is a region called "Formosa" and in the opposite side of the world there is Taiwan called the isle of Formosa. Greetings from Paraguay XD
I looked at the thumbnail and thought there might be some kind of mystical force that pulls the plane under water. But now, the thumbnail was of the plane running out of fuel and diving into the ocean.
The Biringan City or the other part of the world is there in Pacific Ocean, guys don't believed that much from the American Government or the Western Government, they are liar. Before the Trade between Philippines and Mexico and other parts of South Asian countries, they used the way straight to Pacific Ocean vice versa. Yes there is a very strong force under Pacific Ocean under water when there is metallic like big ships or planes. Using woods sea vessel no force at all. Bermuda, Romblon Philippines the only two triangle on planet earth. There is biggest secret in there Pacific Ocean in human history. Perfect time will reveal the truth, no cult government can overpower the highest above sky universe.
Is it just me or did anyone also notice (between 2:52 and 3:37) the continents on the other side are upside down, with North America at the bottom and South America at the top?

@@magical_catgirl That sounds bad, I'm sorry for you. Actually my previous reply was meant for the original comment, so forgive me if I sounded inconsiderate
There’s also the safety issue. Most routes are over land so that in case of an emergency the aircraft can approach the nearest airport. Try finding one in the Pacific Ocean 🌊
@@crystalgeek78 Which works because there are fields that planes could land at in an emergency (like Midway and Hawai'i). In the case of a hypothetical Beijing-Sao Paulo, you would likely not be going over the Pacific, but you would be going the other way round and you'd have to cross from Africa to South America close enough to Ascension Island.
Hawaii could make itself the solution by turn itself into the Dubai of the Pacific to address this, thus becoming a major transit hub between Asia and The America.
And he's not telling the truth IMO because the distance he's showing there between New York and Sydney is actually equivalent to the one used on the Beijing to Buenos Aires which is across the "front" of the globe not the back.

@@bayanon7532 Acapulco was the administrative capital of Filipinas. It would not have been that costly to outfit and supply the crews, otherwise Spain wouldn't have operated it at a loss.
most flights to asia from here start from Santiago, then go to New Zealand and from there to all places in Asia. Not through Europe as the video suggests. Also, we used to have transpolar flights from Argentina to Australia.
You are right. I went to Japan from Buenos Aires (Ezeiza Airport) stopping over Ushuaia for an hour, then in Auckland for another hour, to finally land in Tokyo. As you say, it was a transpolar flight. And I knew many other flights from Argentina and Chile to East Asia. The info in the video is wrong.
On March 28, 2021 a Boeing 787-8 with the registration code P4-787 operated a nonstop flight from Seoul Incheon (ICN) to Buenos Aires (EZE). This 12,106 mile flight was operated in a flight time of 20hr19min, which certainly makes this one of the longest 787 flights ever.
@@Pravduh Hey, yeah! That's true. Thanks for sharing this with me. See? There are even nonstop flights from South / Southeast Asia to South America. Have an amazing day ahead! Zeke
Flew Argentina to Auckland straight September 2018. That was exhausting enough! Had terrible gastroenteritis! And the lady next to me just slept the whole damn time!
There have been non-stop connections between Sydney , Buenos Aires ,and Santiago for many years. They were principally run with 747-400 models, and in the future will be with 787-9 models.
@@teiull9388 here we go... the title used to say just ASIA and not EAST ASIA so his comment is still right 🤦🏾♂️you’re just late to the video. You’re not being smart
I’m from philippines, and I flew to Brazil back in 2018! Farthest and longest flight I have ever done! It took me 34 hours to get there, one way with layovers in hong kong and south africa! But it was absolutely worth it! I can’t imagine though doing a direct flight from my country to São Paulo. I might go crazy being inside the plane for so long! Although this flight may be more comfy in the future when technology gets more advanced! I’m glad I traveled there before the pandemic cause flying that far now seems almost impossible now.
34 hours flight will be the scariest thing for me. I'm a person who can only go to his own toilet for number 2, no public toilet. My 16 hours Jakarta-Frankfurt flight, followed by 3 hours train ride to Saarbrücken already put me on the very edge. IMO 34 hours flight is a banned torture strategy.
@@MrWillypanda88 Yeah hahaha! I know some people can't do a flight that long which is why they do their layover for more than 24 hrs in the first country before going to their main destination. Some who need to take a shower at least once a day try to get lounge access with showers to freshen up. I brought extra clothes thankfully. But it really was a super tiring flight, which is why I'm thankful to have done that flight while I'm young and more patient instead of when I'm 50-60 years old or something.

@@winter10x06 I never had flight from Frankfurt to São Paulo or Rio, but the flight from Jakarta to Frankfurt usually has a layover either in Turkey or UAE, depending on the flight, and the layover usually were long, when I came to Frankfurt it was 2 hours, a friend of mine got 8 hours. In total it took around 16 hours, Jakarta-Istanbul took 10-12 hours, add in 2 hours layover, plus another 3 hours for Istanbul-Frankfurt.
@@MrWillypanda88 I think there is direct flight from somewhere in Germany like Berlin or Frankfurt to Sao Paulo or Rio. There is a pretty big German population in Brazil when I visited.
Long video short: Pacific Ocean is massive! So technically planes from East Asia to South America would not be possible due to the huge distance!! Even if an airline flew the distance non stop, it would still run at big losses due to many reasons. On the map, East Asia may seem close to South America, only separated by the Pacific Ocean. But the Pacific is so huge that all continents can actually fit into this one big ocean! So go figure..
Ok now look at the equator where the temps are always the same because it's closer to the sun but oops they forgot about the earth being tilted lol so the equator they give us is in the wrong place. Go take your globe and tilt it at 23.4 degrees and you see the equator doesnt work any more and for the Bible believers 23.4 degrees leaves 66.6 and you know what that number is the number of the beast also the earth is supposed to rotating around the sun at 66,600 MPH, the curve of the earth has a 6.66 in it this is of the devil. Wake up!
I once saw a photo of Earth taken from space. It showed no continent. You could see islands as little specs in the ocean. Everything else was blue. The whole globe, seen from there, was one big ocean: the Pacific Ocean, known in some languages as the Great Ocean.

This is false. There are a few nonstop flights between Asia and South America. Asia And South America are connected through the following flights: Dubai-São Paulo Tel Aviv-São Paulo
i’m from china, most chinese people who go on holiday abroad don’t consider south america, because its too far and actually quite expensive...also learning spanish in china is not that popular compared to japanese or korean
There is a nonstop flight bethween Chile (SCL) and Australia (SYD) , a distance of approx. 7k miles but I think it's seasonal. Currently it's the easiest/fastest way to get from South America to Southeast Asis
As an argentine, if I want to travel to Japan i’d need to take at least 2 flights almost 12 hours long each. The “shortest” route is Buenos Aires-Houston-Tokyo. Yep, we’re very very far away from east Asia.
Which QANTAS no longer flies because we have more efficient planes. The Future of 747 passenger flight will be for planespotters and the wealthy, the latter which I want to be in.
In year 2016 on my way to Brazil for the 2016 Rio Olympics, I saw a group of Japanese Olympic Team in my flight from Los Angeles - New York - Rio De Janeiro. Their flights are from Tokyo - Los Angeles - New York - Rio De Janeiro for a total of more the 30 hours of flights then they had just a day of rest before their warm-ups for the Competitions. I told one of them I will be going to 2020 Olympics 4 years later. Sadly, Covid-19 postponed the 2020 Olympics. In March 2021, Japanese government announced no foreign spectators allowed in 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
When I went to Japan in 2006, I made the alternative route Brazil-Chile-New Zealand-Osaka....32 hour long travel (4 hours waiting in nearly every leg of the trip...). The one from Tokyo-Los Angeles-New York-Rio (and the other way around) is the main alternative nowadays .
Very interesting video! Thanks for creating this content. I'm from Colombia and have a friend in Indonesia. I've been thinking about the possibility of us visiting each other.

Also crazy that we live in a time where two people from the farthest part of the earth can be friends and talk in real-time, and even see each other! Wonderful times we live in. We certainly have to start thinking about ourselves as humans and lessen the importance of borders and countries if we want to thrive as a species, I think.
The closest to an east asia-south america flight i know, would be Chile-Australia and Chile-New Zealand by latam and qantas. Also I read about a recent new direct flight Santiago-Dubai. No idea if that finally happened though.
It happened. We had two years of service but it was cancelled because of the pandemic. Now the route starts from Sao Paulo. It didn’t matter tho, only rich megalomaniacs and assholes used that route, and possibly that’s why Emirates lasted so long in Chile, even when the route was rarely used.
@@supaasandy9807 do you realize Dubai is a huge hub and that the Santiago-Dubai flight serves connections with other flights... like Dubai to East Asia? It's not like everyone taking that flight was your dumb caricature of a rich asshole.
I decided to list all the mistakes that RLL made in this video: 3:36 - He decided to put Sao Paulo on the completely wrong side of the continent 4:03 - Singapore is also in the completely wrong place, he decided to put it in Vietnam for some reason 5:08 - Wrong type of plane - he said 787-9 but showed a 747 Lastly the biggest mistake of them all - The entire video is wrong anyway considering that there are multiple flights from the Middle East to Sao Paulo and Rio, and he should've specified that he was only talking about East Asia. No hate, love this channel, but I think he may have rushed this video lmao
This is not unique to this one video. This is a persistent problem with basically every video on this channel. In the video about countries the UK/England/Great Britain invaded, he missed 2 countries, and had such gems of spelling like "Irak" "Nicarague" and "Wassington."
@RealLifeLore Hey man, love your videos! However, I do think you got the distance from Singapore to Newark wrong, it should be about 9,500 miles. My guess is that the distance you displayed was in knots. While the Sao Paulo was in actual miles :) Still doesn't change anything about what your video is about, but I just noticed this because I wrote essays on air travel and know about the Newark to Singapore flight.. I was like, that seems a bit short haha
I know what you mean, There are numerous flights from the Middle East to South America but he never mentioned that whatsoever. He was talking about East Asia the whole time. He messed up this video
In North America due to ignorance, many people assume only South-East Asia, and East Asia are Asian, discounting most of Russia, Central Asia, the Middle East, and even sometimes South Asia.
because in the US, they refers East Asians to Asians. South Asians on the other hand is refer to as Indians. West Asians is middle eastern. Asia should not be a continent, middle easterns and Indians are just too different from East Asians.
as a chinese dude it's weird to me as well. almost all people in the world agree that asia means the big ass continent but somehow americans and canadians think "asia" is only east asia and sometimes southeast asia. india is its own thing, and middle east is its own thing, but, when they talk about population and size, they include all of the countries...like this video did.
What is more stressing is that there are so few flights between south America and Africa..... Salvador, Brazil is less than 1500 miles from Accra, Ghana, but if you want to fly between them you have to have a stop in the USA or western Europe, if not both, and also Addis Ababa, thousands of miles further East......
That's not stressing, it's simply how airline economics work. If there is demand for a route, they will schedule it, if not, they will take you to your destination via multiple stops, even if it takes much longer. They care about profit, not time.
I'm currently in Sao Paulo and I am based in MY. The jetlag is really extreme and take days to recover from. Traveled from KUL - DOH - GRU. Total flight time is 7 + 3 (transit) + 14 hours
He clearly said there are flights with layovers. By the way, they flew a Joburg to Cape Town leg? Seems like a waste of a widebody flight cycle; couldn't South Africans just take a connecting flight?
Farthest - used for actual distance. Furthest - used for abstract distance. The flight goes the farthest from Asia. Getting on that flight was the furthest thing from my mind.
It’s been nearly 40 years since the day I could realistically be considered an English speaker.

Large dirigibles (zeppelins) could be a solution for those that would rather have a more comfortable air travel, but without caring for the time it would take, better consider it as an air cruiser as opposed to a sea cruiser. Nowadays they don't use hydrogen anymore so they are safe, but their speed is much lower than a regular airplane, they cannot fly as high as an airplane, so they cannot avoid storms as well as an airplane that can fly above them. It is a kind of vehicle with so much potential, I'm hoping to see its full blown comeback sometime in the future.
I live in Chile. If you want to go to China or Japan, the most common option is taking a flight to USA, and then another flight to China/Japan. Some american airlines sells you the full ticket, and they consider the stop in USA as that: a stop. But if you want to make things interesting, you can take the opposite route: you can take a flight from Santiago to Sydney, that flyes over the Antarctica, and then take another flight to China/Japan. But, there are no airlines that sells you this full ticket, not even considering Sydney as a stop. So you must buy 2 tickets with different airlines, and it's gonna be more expensive. But hey, I flew over the antarctica, and step over aussie land, and probably gonna fight a giant spider. Not like those boring guys who take the normal flight to the US landing in LA. So what? Everybody is leaving California. Is nothing like this giant tooth of a giant aussie spider that I have, and besides, I will be able to punch in the face to any flat earther that comes around.
2:50 Is when he finally says (over 2 minutes) that the part of Asia marked on a map is so far away from South America that a plane does not take a direct flight _(and planes have a limit to their flight distances)._ It may well have been a better received video had that been said in the first 30 seconds so that the remainder of the information is now something that can be concentrated on rather than seeming like padding. People do not mind the extra info on a large YT channel if the vital data is imparted first. The "context" excuse gives the bad vibes feeling like you're going to force adverts to be watched by means of the padding-approach avenue. Don't become one of those people who stand in doorways and have loud conversations to get attention. The video could have mentioned, for example options (however implausible) like halfway stop-offs via the airport on Tahiti (or some such place), especially considering it is French Polynesia _(and the French are famous for massive infrastructure projects)._
I flew from Denver to Sydney, with a 18 month old child. It took about 18 hours with a short stop in LA. It was tedious, but we slept for about a third of it, watched movies for a third of it, and ate, read books, changed diapers, etc. You are a wuss, compared to travelers throughout history.
I flew from Newark to Johannesburg in coach a couple months ago. The flight spent 2 and a half hours on the runway at Newark because there was construction delays on the runways there so I spent 17 and a half hours in coach.
But don't worry guys. It's not impossible to get to South America from Asia; one of the few options for traveling between Asia and South America is through the US on American, United, or Delta. They tend to be slightly faster than flying in through Europe since North America is just across the South.
It makes sense that Asia-South America flights would have layovers in Mexico rather than the USA, given that the US requires transit visas even for those just going through international airports (unlike most countries). Flights from Japan, South Korea, and Singapore with US layovers are more feasible as those countries’ citizens are eligible for the Visa Waiver Program.
I just flew from Brazil last week for 34 hours to the Philippines with a layover in Dubai. I would say that I feel privileged that I am able to do fly knowing how almost impossible it is to cross countries because of that vast distance. Emirates was able to fly me to cross the world, but for a very hefty price.
Oh that Beijing - Madrid - São Paulo flight...I’ve talked to Air China flight attendants and they told me that they will spend two weeks away from home just to complete a round trip of PEK-MAD-GRU-MAD-PEK flight...same for their Beijing - Montréal - Havana flight which they usually spend 3 days in Montréal, one night in Havana and another 3 days in Montréal...
Last year there was a statement from Hainan Airlines in China saying that they were considering canceling altogether the flights to and from Mexico because they were not viable - even though the prices were really high and that most of the seats were filled by workers sent by Chinese companies to Mexico -. Even today, the flights are still advertised on their website but when doing a search for specific dates the results always give an "error". There were also flights from Shenzhen to Mexico too by China Southern Airlines that were also canceled.
The circumference of earth is 24,901 miles, since the direct route over eurasia takes 10,934 miles, going the other way across the pacific would take roughly 13,967 miles. The pacific ocean is cut away on most worldmaps to save money and make the maps more readable, this however creates a big intuitive misconception in most people about how MASSIVE it really is. The pacific literally covers half the globe. If you push all landmasses back together into one supercontinent it would still only be enough to cover about 80% of the pacific.
So in 2 seconds: it's too far for planes to fly non-stop.

Hey y’all. For the context of this video, I’m specifically referring to “Asia” as “East Asia” and to a lesser extent southern and southeastern Asia, which is the actual geographic region with no direct flights to South America. There are multiple flights to Brazil from countries in the Middle East, which is of course also part of Asia, but that isn’t the region I’m focusing this video on. I apologize for not clarifying this distinction in the video itself.
Thank you for the comments pointing this out ✌️

Demand is another factor. Technically it's not impossible to fly direct from Asia to South America: it's about 6850 nmi from Mumbai, India to Salvador, Brazil, a distance that even the 77W can handle. But I suppose the demand is low.
There's a direct flight from Dubai to Sao Paulo. And, the middle east is technically Asia, so there's that.

@@kuiper921 thank you
These comments are so annoying, an answer is worthless without an explanation. If you didn't want to learn anything you are in the wrong channel.
My guess prior to watching the video was something more complex. Didn't think they'd spend a full 6 minutes just saying something as simple as "It's too far" (1 minute for Skillshare).
An airbus A380 can make a full circumnavigation of the world I’m not sure you’re right
There's one more important commercial reason. It's a lot more risk to expect long and expensive flights to be fully booked and meet the revenue goals. This is why even shorter distances like Europe to SE Asia have a change in one of the major hubs - people who fly one leg disperse to various other routes for their second leg. Everyone pretty much meets in one place to take second plane to the final destination. Anyone who had a change in airports like Vienna, Paris, Frankfurt, Istanbul (I'm in Europe, but I'm sure your continent has equivalents), could get a feeling that airport is very very busy... and then 2-4h later it's a ghost town.
This type of transport problem has a name - spoke-hub distribution paradigm. Any flights that can't be incorporated into existing hub model are more risk to manage, they are outside of the existing flights network (within a certain airline) and any revenue mitigation for seasonality or popularity of the destination is just difficult.
What if we just got a private sleeper cabin together?
Ok that makes a lot of sense!

"remain" is the opposite of "never before". So this statement does not make any sense in first place.
Some decades ago there was a direct South Polar flight from South America to Australia (and back) and then to other countries in Asia. After that, during the nineties and 2000’s Malaysia Airlines was the only regional airlines flying directly from Kuala Lumpur to Buenos Aires (and back) with 2 stopovers in Johannesburg and Cape Town. I guess costs was an issue and after operating with 747’s very successfully, those flights stoped.

Just a side note: technichally feasible? Yes, it is. But it's probably way too expensive to be profitable, so airline companies wouldn't be interested in buying an aircraft that flies extra 3,000 miles (which is good for one route only), and spend tons more in fuel and on the cost of the aircraft itself. So no manufacturer will ever spend time developing an airplane for this narrow specific market. Unless there's a breakthrough on fuel consumption/weight technology, or some weird billionaire decides to fly from South America to Asia every week and is willing to pay for that.
So if it's not economic to fly non- stop from a market of thousands of millions to a market of hundreds of millions from one side of the Pacific to another then why is it that several airlines including Air New Zealand fly multiple routes every day from New Zealand (5 million People) to North America non stop across the whole Pacific and even further to Houston, Chicago and now New York, apart from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Vancouver. Even more airlines, including Qantas fly even more routes daily to North America across the Pacific from Australia (25 million people). It's not about distance it's about connections between closely associated nations.
Having said that there are also non-stop flights between Australia and New Zealand and South America across the Pacific including those that skirt Antarctica.
There's not a lot of sense in this video!
It's not technically feasible from safety perspective. Most airliners that have ETOPS certification couldn't even reach safely reach their furthest destination without hopping hub to hub. Not to mention during 1 engine failure when crossing the ocean that would be a nightmare. And not all airlines have A380 and long range 777s/A350s. And most of these Asian market don't have south American destinations as a main market in mind due to their hostile region label and demand. As an Asian I don't wanna go to South America. It's too dangerous.
Japão-Brasil, e Brasil-Japão seria uma rota altamente utilizada, bebê.
While the Market isn't quite there yet atm for east asia to south America, the planes needed for other similarly distanced routes are. Thus they are being made. It's just whether anyone else besides Qantas will buy them.
I could potentially see JAL or ANA considering it and running between Tokyo and Brasil given the largest expat Japanese population is in Brazil.

Even if an airline flew the distance non stop, it would still run at big losses due to many reasons. On the map, East Asia may seem close to South America, only separated by the Pacific Ocean.

When he mentions São Paulo he’s actually showing airports of Rio de Janeiro.
Yeah that actually caught me off guard lol. He was showing Santos Dumont airport right?
Yes, it's SDU.

This is false. There are a few nonstop flights between Asia and South America. Asia And South America are connected through the following flights:
Dubai-São Paulo
Tel Aviv-São Paulo
Hello 👋
@@natewolfe3585 hello 👋🏻
I guess he defines Middle East as a continent
also there was a flight from tel aviv - rio, and to buenos aires(once)
Within the context of this video, they are clearly talking about the Pacific Ocean area-they are thinking of South and East Asia, not the Middle East.
Interesting to know! Thanks for the video.
RealLifeLore: There still isn't a single direct commercial flight…

THANK YOU 😂😂😂
i’m from china, most chinese people who go on holiday abroad don’t consider south america, because its too far and actually quite expensive...also learning spanish in china is not that popular compared to japanese or korean
i think japan is the most visited asian country by brazilians
Interesting, there is an Island in the Philippians where everyone speaks Spanish. 👍
My future gf can speak French tho
When a Mainland Chinese said it's too far to travel, you know it's actually too far =))
It probably is because Spain colonised Philippines from 1521 until almost early 1900s.
I've always wondered about this too
Here you are again xd
You comment on everything
You’re everywhere
more than 50% of UA-cam users knows you. congratulations
We meet again Mr commentator
There is a nonstop flight bethween Chile (SCL) and Australia (SYD) , a distance of approx. 7k miles but I think it's seasonal. Currently it's the easiest/fastest way to get from South America to Southeast Asis
As an argentine, if I want to travel to Japan i’d need to take at least 2 flights almost 12 hours long each.
The “shortest” route is Buenos Aires-Houston-Tokyo.
Yep, we’re very very far away from east Asia.
Thats far!
Look at a photo of the flat earth map and you’ll see the true distance

"They flew a 787-9.."

Which QANTAS no longer flies because we have more efficient planes. The Future of 747 passenger flight will be for planespotters and the wealthy, the latter which I want to be in.
Just about to post this.
@@SethMethCS One of the ways you get wealthy is you don’t be a passenger on a NYC-Sydney nonstop flight. One of what? 35 passengers?

In year 2016 on my way to Brazil for the 2016 Rio Olympics, I saw a group of Japanese Olympic Team in my flight from Los Angeles - New York - Rio De Janeiro. Their flights are from Tokyo - Los Angeles - New York - Rio De Janeiro for a total of more the 30 hours of flights then they had just a day of rest before their warm-ups for the Competitions. I told one of them I will be going to 2020 Olympics 4 years later. Sadly, Covid-19 postponed the 2020 Olympics. In March 2021, Japanese government announced no foreign spectators allowed in 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
and??????????????????????
😔 no Olympics for u
When I went to Japan in 2006, I made the alternative route Brazil-Chile-New Zealand-Osaka....32 hour long travel (4 hours waiting in nearly every leg of the trip...).
The one from Tokyo-Los Angeles-New York-Rio (and the other way around) is the main alternative nowadays .
Actually many people flying between Japan and Brasil many people go for European route over American route.
Very interesting video! Thanks for creating this content. I'm from Colombia and have a friend in Indonesia. I've been thinking about the possibility of us visiting each other. Now I know why it is so hard... we are actually the farthest two human beings can be on this planet! Crazy!
Also crazy that we live in a time where two people from the farthest part of the earth can be friends and talk in real-time, and even see each other! Wonderful times we live in. We certainly have to start thinking about ourselves as humans and lessen the importance of borders and countries if we want to thrive as a species, I think.
Will you be a friends ?
The closest to an east asia-south america flight i know, would be Chile-Australia and Chile-New Zealand by latam and qantas. Also I read about a recent new direct flight Santiago-Dubai. No idea if that finally happened though.
It happened. We had two years of service but it was cancelled because of the pandemic. Now the route starts from Sao Paulo. It didn’t matter tho, only rich megalomaniacs and assholes used that route, and possibly that’s why Emirates lasted so long in Chile, even when the route was rarely used.
@@supaasandy9807 do you realize Dubai is a huge hub and that the Santiago-Dubai flight serves connections with other flights... like Dubai to East Asia? It's not like everyone taking that flight was your dumb caricature of a rich asshole.
I could see a Sao Paolo - Dubai - Beijing route being feasible
@@a2falcone Chile has no hub. In South America there are only 2 hubs Lima airport and Sao Paolo airport
@@GReinsther First is Sao Paulo, second major hub in South America is 'El Dorado' in Bogota, Colombia
I decided to list all the mistakes that RLL made in this video:
3:36 - He decided to put Sao Paulo on the completely wrong side of the continent
4:03 - Singapore is also in the completely wrong place, he decided to put it in Vietnam for some reason
5:08 - Wrong type of plane - he said 787-9 but showed a 747
Lastly the biggest mistake of them all - The entire video is wrong anyway considering that there are multiple flights from the Middle East to Sao Paulo and Rio, and he should've specified that he was only talking about East Asia.
No hate, love this channel, but I think he may have rushed this video lmao
additional error at 4:13 - the Newark flight is 9534 miles long and not 8285 as published in the video
This is not unique to this one video. This is a persistent problem with basically every video on this channel. In the video about countries the UK/England/Great Britain invaded, he missed 2 countries, and had such gems of spelling like "Irak" "Nicarague" and "Wassington."

@RealLifeLore Hey man, love your videos! However, I do think you got the distance from Singapore to Newark wrong, it should be about 9,500 miles. My guess is that the distance you displayed was in knots. While the Sao Paulo was in actual miles :) Still doesn't change anything about what your video is about, but I just noticed this because I wrote essays on air travel and know about the Newark to Singapore flight.. I was like, that seems a bit short haha
Why is Asia always being confused with China, South Korea and Japan? What about the others?
I know what you mean, There are numerous flights from the Middle East to South America but he never mentioned that whatsoever. He was talking about East Asia the whole time. He messed up this video
In North America due to ignorance, many people assume only South-East Asia, and East Asia are Asian, discounting most of Russia, Central Asia, the Middle East, and even sometimes South Asia.
because in the US, they refers East Asians to Asians. South Asians on the other hand is refer to as Indians. West Asians is middle eastern.
Asia should not be a continent, middle easterns and Indians are just too different from East Asians.
They are central powers in asia
as a chinese dude it's weird to me as well. almost all people in the world agree that asia means the big ass continent but somehow americans and canadians think "asia" is only east asia and sometimes southeast asia. india is its own thing, and middle east is its own thing, but, when they talk about population and size, they include all of the countries...like this video did.
1:15 “China is Rapidly becoming the center of trade in business” ...
*Shows a video of Paseo Ahumada in Santiago de Chile.*

@@BluRey100 not anymore dude it's the United States now
Santiago de China
Chile belonged to China since ancient times you know...
I never knew this and didn’t think about like “why isn’t there any flights between South America and Asia” but now I know
*east Asia, there's regular flights between São Paulo and Dubai
What is more stressing is that there are so few flights between south America and Africa..... Salvador, Brazil is less than 1500 miles from Accra, Ghana, but if you want to fly between them you have to have a stop in the USA or western Europe, if not both, and also Addis Ababa, thousands of miles further East......
That's not stressing, it's simply how airline economics work. If there is demand for a route, they will schedule it, if not, they will take you to your destination via multiple stops, even if it takes much longer. They care about profit, not time.

Back in early 2000's Malaysia Airlines flies to Buenos Aires, Argentina via Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa
He clearly said there are flights with layovers.
By the way, they flew a Joburg to Cape Town leg? Seems like a waste of a widebody flight cycle; couldn't South Africans just take a connecting flight?
@@mirzaahmed6589 yeah, stop at Johannesburg and then Cape Town after continue on to Buenos Aires..
@@TheAidilCentral no layovers as in one direct flight
@@PabloRodriguez-cl4ox there no direct flights at that time, it impossible to fly from one part of the world to another..
@@TheAidilCentral that’s the point
Farthest - used for actual distance. Furthest - used for abstract distance.
The flight goes the farthest from Asia. Getting on that flight was the furthest thing from my mind.
It’s been nearly 40 years since the day I could realistically be considered an English speaker. Until today, I have never seen an explanation so concise for why these two words for what seems like the same thing actually exist in the language. That’s interesting. My native language doesn’t have this distinction.
According to Cambridge English Grammar in Use (fifth edition, p. 210) both farther/est and further/est can be used for actual distance.

Buenos Aires, Argentina and Santiago, Chile are connected with New Zealand and Australia with non stop flights.
How can I find that flight? Which airline does that?
@@BrilexLaAuthority Quantas, LAN Chile and Aerolineas Argentinas (which no longer performs the flight, but used to fly transpolar, there are tons of videos about that).
@@BrilexLaAuthority Latam airlines too
It's moslty because of the flight flying at the southern parts of the planet
The tile says "east asia" and new zealamd and australia arent part of "east asia"
Large dirigibles (zeppelins) could be a solution for those that would rather have a more comfortable air travel, but without caring for the time it would take, better consider it as an air cruiser as opposed to a sea cruiser. Nowadays they don't use hydrogen anymore so they are safe, but their speed is much lower than a regular airplane, they cannot fly as high as an airplane, so they cannot avoid storms as well as an airplane that can fly above them. It is a kind of vehicle with so much potential, I'm hoping to see its full blown comeback sometime in the future.
I live in Chile. If you want to go to China or Japan, the most common option is taking a flight to USA, and then another flight to China/Japan. Some american airlines sells you the full ticket, and they consider the stop in USA as that: a stop.
But if you want to make things interesting, you can take the opposite route: you can take a flight from Santiago to Sydney, that flyes over the Antarctica, and then take another flight to China/Japan. But, there are no airlines that sells you this full ticket, not even considering Sydney as a stop. So you must buy 2 tickets with different airlines, and it's gonna be more expensive.
But hey, I flew over the antarctica, and step over aussie land, and probably gonna fight a giant spider. Not like those boring guys who take the normal flight to the US landing in LA. So what? Everybody is leaving California. Is nothing like this giant tooth of a giant aussie spider that I have, and besides, I will be able to punch in the face to any flat earther that comes around.

Connecting at USA can be a hassle because you need a US visa even if you are just connecting. Traveling via Canada might be better.
How long was the flight Australia to chile
Was it a direct flight from Chile to Australia how long was the flight?
2:50 Is when he finally says (over 2 minutes) that the part of Asia marked on a map is so far away from South America that a plane does not take a direct flight _(and planes have a limit to their flight distances)._
It may well have been a better received video had that been said in the first 30 seconds so that the remainder of the information is now something that can be concentrated on rather than seeming like padding. People do not mind the extra info on a large YT channel if the vital data is imparted first. The "context" excuse gives the bad vibes feeling like you're going to force adverts to be watched by means of the padding-approach avenue.
Don't become one of those people who stand in doorways and have loud conversations to get attention.
The video could have mentioned, for example options (however implausible) like halfway stop-offs via the airport on Tahiti (or some such place), especially considering it is French Polynesia _(and the French are famous for massive infrastructure projects)._
The Singapore pin point on 4:10 is incorrect. Its should be right above Sumatra Island Hehe. Good content thoo
Flying from New York to Sydney would be the most suicidal 19 hours of my life
I flew from Denver to Sydney, with a 18 month old child. It took about 18 hours with a short stop in LA. It was tedious, but we slept for about a third of it, watched movies for a third of it, and ate, read books, changed diapers, etc. You are a wuss, compared to travelers throughout history.
@@richdobbs6595 I'm too much of a coward

I’d do it if I could lay down completely horizontal.
I flew from Newark to Johannesburg in coach a couple months ago. The flight spent 2 and a half hours on the runway at Newark because there was construction delays on the runways there so I spent 17 and a half hours in coach.
But don't worry guys. It's not impossible to get to South America from Asia; one of the few options for traveling between Asia and South America is through the US on American, United, or Delta. They tend to be slightly faster than flying in through Europe since North America is just across the South.
'merica
It makes sense that Asia-South America flights would have layovers in Mexico rather than the USA, given that the US requires transit visas even for those just going through international airports (unlike most countries).
Flights from Japan, South Korea, and Singapore with US layovers are more feasible as those countries’ citizens are eligible for the Visa Waiver Program.
What about Canada?

I just flew from Brazil last week for 34 hours to the Philippines with a layover in Dubai.

Oh that Beijing - Madrid - São Paulo flight...I’ve talked to Air China flight attendants and they told me that they will spend two weeks away from home just to complete a round trip of PEK-MAD-GRU-MAD-PEK flight...same for their Beijing - Montréal - Havana flight which they usually spend 3 days in Montréal, one night in Havana and another 3 days in Montréal...
Last year there was a statement from Hainan Airlines in China saying that they were considering canceling altogether the flights to and from Mexico because they were not viable - even though the prices were really high and that most of the seats were filled by workers sent by Chinese companies to Mexico -. Even today, the flights are still advertised on their website but when doing a search for specific dates the results always give an "error". There were also flights from Shenzhen to Mexico too by China Southern Airlines that were also canceled.
Anyone else bothered by the lack of content on how many miles it’d be to go the other way across the Pacific?
Andy Redick yes. Strange
The circumference of earth is 24,901 miles, since the direct route over eurasia takes 10,934 miles, going the other way across the pacific would take roughly 13,967 miles.
The pacific ocean is cut away on most worldmaps to save money and make the maps more readable,
this however creates a big intuitive misconception in most people about how MASSIVE it really is.
The pacific literally covers half the globe.
If you push all landmasses back together into one supercontinent it would still only be enough to cover about 80% of the pacific.
Is any one else bothered that they pictured the Americas upside down????
@@markhonea2461 They show it that way because of the earth being a sphere.
