Greenland is North America now? Hmmm, learn something every day. In any case, it's not TATL because it strands you out in the middle. Kangerlussuaq has the same problem as KEF: no action westbound.

Why am I doing this? Well, Mrs 999 and I have been doing RTWs for 15 years and our incessant raving about them has finally motivated some friends of ours to think about trying one. Two problems, though: they're somewhat reluctant to splash out for the C class fare but they also don't fancy the idea of ultra-long flights in sardine class. So, I thought I'd see if I could help them find the shortest possible long flights.

Of course, there may well be better possibilities for them on the other alliances or with a series of point-to-point one-way tickets. But the *A RTW system is the one that I know, so that's where I'm looking.

cheers,

Henry
