In this very thread two people used Greenland to represent both NA and EU. Most of the Caribbean is going to be a problem if trying to assign them to NA or SA. Bermuda? Midway Island? Mauritius? These are all troublesome.
It would be so much easier if we could settle on flights between continental landmasses. No questions there (I hope).
I suppose you mean ADB, Izmir. Who flies there from ATH?
Thanks Captain Miles, for posting the mapped flights above! Not too sure about flights in the Arctic, but perhaps a Lusophone-centric RTW tour should be in the cards, considering that SID-FOR routing...
What's the trouble with Mauritius? It's independent, and almost always considered Africa. Unless, for the purpose of this thread, you are trying to remind us that MK (Air Mauritius) has flights to SE Asia and India, even though said country isn't part of the largest African landmass. They wouldn't be the shortest flights anyway.
