      @@Yves_Ka the US has never been closed for entry, and there’s not a travel ban. If you’ve been in the EU / UK in the last 14 days then yes you can’t enter, bud aside from that you’re good to go. Hope that helps :)

    I did an around the world about 20 years ago. Ticket was booked as business but a couple segments were upgraded to first. From my home in Arkansas, the long haul flew Dallas to Gatwick, Then Bristol to Zurich, Zurich to Singapore where I needed to depart earlier than scheduled because of an airline strike. Singapore to the new airport in Hong Kong, then LA, Dallas and finally home. Crazy and wouldn't want to do it again on a short schedule without a few layovers longer than 1-2 days.

    Hi, Will. This was so interesting and brought back good memories for me. I did a RTW(round the world) trip back in the '80's(dating myself here🤣) on a joint fare with Singapore Airlines and TWA. I did spread the time out and it was an eye opening journey for me. It was on 747's all of the way(how I miss the "Queen of the Skies".) I am quite impressed with your stamina on this trip of yours. Guess you got a good rest up back in London. Thanks for documenting this for us. Take care, buddy and have a pleasant week. 👍🤗❤🛫🙏🌎
