So, you know if we go to Australia I'm not prepared for such a long flight, so we'd have to stop over at one or two islands along the way.

Buy a mega yacht ...now wait, your own aircraft carrier (the one used in Top Gun will be available soon) think of all the hunky sailors you can employ -- nm - Chateau du zeitgeist Jan 6, 14:27 2

You can fly LAX - Honolulu - Guam - (Australia). Breaks the trip in (very rough) thirds -- (edited) - ty97 Jan 6, 14:23 27
- Tahiti isn't in our flight plan! -- (edited) - Setec Airlines Jan 6, 14:30 4
  - But it's a magical place. -- nm - sycor Jan 6, 14:37
  - I'm the captain now! We're going to Tahiti! -- nm - New Year's Mop Jan 6, 14:35 1
    - Hey I want to have a go at flying the plane too! -- nm - Loyola Jan 6, 14:36
  - we can take care of it! -- nm - Oceanic Air Jan 6, 14:32
- London, Paris, Rome Tahiti, then Australia sounds more fun to me -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 6, 14:29
- I lied about that first route! - ty97 Jan 6, 14:26 20
  - Sorry - the correct itinerary is flying Air New Zealand: LAX - Rarotonga - Auckland - Sydney -- nm - Roger More Jan 6, 14:31 4
    - Oh, if we're taking different airlines - disregard! And fit in Easter Island between Santiago and Papeete -- nm - Roger More Jan 6, 14:33 3
      - Yeah, I wasn't event trying to route it on a single airlines (had no idea if that was even possible!) -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 14:33 2
        
        Fiji Airways seems to do LAX-HNL-Apia-Nadi-Australia. -- (link) - Roger More Jan 6, 14:38
        
        LanChile used to do it all on a flight from Santiago to Sydney, but then they got better planes. -- nm - Roger More Jan 6, 14:37
  - yeah but...Guam? why not Bora Bora? and she'd have G5 money so could just tell the pilot lets go (and no TSA issues) -- nm - Chateau du zeitgeist Jan 6, 14:30 1
    - I was thinking of hub airports. Guam is a hub for United Airlines (no really, it is) -- nm* - ty97 Jan 6, 14:31
  - If you take the second route (and here's modified version too) - ty97 Jan 6, 14:29 11
    - And it looks like the SCL-PPT route stops at Easter Island, so you could break it up that way too if you want. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 14:30 10
      - And we could carve onto the Easter Island statues "ST woz ere" - Loyola Jan 6, 14:32 7
        
        All I know is finding a way to fly that SCL-Easter Island-PPT route someday. - ty97 Jan 6, 14:33 6
        
        PPT is Philippines? I'd love to see there. -- nm - Loyola Jan 6, 14:42 5
        
        PPT is Fa'a'ā International Airport, the only overseas international airport in Tahiti. MNL is Manila, Philippines. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 14:44 4
        
        Ah ok. How do you say Fa'a'a? -- nm - Loyola Jan 6, 14:45 3

the one with dinosaurs on it -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 6, 14:18
i'll br travelling by tardis, and meet you there -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 6, 14:17
I think this is a great idea. I mean you're flying over such a long distance, there has to be some place to stop and visit. - Mel Profit Jan 6, 14:17 1
- i've always wanted to go to the Canary Islands. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 14:18
I like this idea. Let's charter a plane like the military use and we can run around in the back and party while we fly. -- nm - Loyola Jan 6, 14:13 11
- Con Air 2 -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 6, 14:18
- This is Mel Profit approved. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 6, 14:18
- what's the range of a C-5 Galaxy, anyway? -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 14:14 1
  - 7,273 miles -- nm - Ender Jan 6, 14:15
- like the military? no, no, we charter a fancy fun plane. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 14:13 6
  - *puts in a call to Airbus for an A380* - znufrii Jan 6, 14:28
  - We need a plane like this. But on a bigger scale. -- (link) - Loyola Jan 6, 14:21 [Image]
  - MonocleJet -- nm - humbug Jan 6, 14:17
  - austin powers style, yeah baby -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 14:15
  - but how would we carry our MAzzarati's and Super Jeeps? -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 14:15
  - with Rose Byrne. -- nm - Max Jan 6, 14:15
And we *would* go to the west coast - by train across the Nullabor Desert. -- nm - Meg Jan 6, 14:10 4
- not by motorcycle? It would only take 160 days. -- nm - Max Jan 6, 14:14
- i want a dude on top of the car playing thrash metal guitar that spits fire -- nm - humbug Jan 6, 14:12 2
  - Begin the blinding of Dave Navarro! -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 14:15 1
