And I have successfully been able to pick up the GPS data in all the other flights I have been on recently. That is why you can get a cell phone signal on the ground in a plane. I was trying to get a GPS track using an iPhone, this is generally possible as GPS is only a radio signal and although the aluminum plane body may block quite a bit of the signal the plastic or glass windows on the plane allow the radio signals in. The flight took a little over eleven hours from take off in Auckland to the landing in Buenos Aires.

So just to test this out I recently flew from New Zealand to Buenos Aires and back again and I will write more extensively about this later. For example if you want to fly from New York to Amsterdam by British Airlines most likely they will fly you to London and then you will change planes and fly on to Amsterdam.īut flat earthers do not understand airline scheduling and believer these Southern flights would be very long on a flat earth and it would be shorter for the airlines to fly via cities in the Northern Hemisphere to southern cities on the other side of their flat earth. Even if you fly to Europe from North America very often the airline will fly you to their hub and you change flights to get to your final destination. This is a scheduling / timetabling issue, and it is necessary to keep their flights as full as possible. So it makes sense for them to fly their passengers who want to go to Buenos Aires to their hub in North America where they can combine passengers from a number of flights from various locations onto one flight to Buenos Aires.

In reality the reason for airlines organizing their flights to and from southern destinations like this is the demand for many airlines for direct flights from Sydney to Buenos Aires, for example, is not very high.

They draw these flight paths on the flat earth map and show that, on a flat earth, this is the most direct route, and what appears to be the most direct route on a globe, on a flat earth becomes much, much longer. One of the big “proofs” that the earth is flat offered by the flat earthers is airline flights in the Southern Hemisphere: Direct Southern Flights not Possible on the Flat Earthįlat earthers note that most flights from Sydney to South America, for example, do not fly directly from Sydney to South America, but rather first fly to somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere and then one changes flights and continues on to South America.
