Here’s something of absolutely no consequence that I’m nonetheless quite intrigued by. I know a lot of OMAAT readers are airline and plane nerds, so here’s a question — what are the shortest regularly scheduled transatlantic and transpacific passenger flights? The answer might not be quite as straightforward or uncontested as it initially sounds.
But how do you define that? How far across the ocean do you have to go? Is a flight from the United States to Iceland transatlantic? What about a flight from the United States to the Azores? Personally I don’t view either of those routes as being transatlantic, though I think someone else could reasonably disagree with me.
So I’m prefacing the below routes with a warning that people can reasonably disagree with me (and I certainly welcome that!).
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
