I'm not sure of the mileage, but it's all northern hemisphere, and I would think that you would have to dip down below the equator to get the "Earth's waistline" mileage.

Yeah, that milage is really bothering me. I've found an itenerary going from Frankfurt to Singapore (SQ), on to Tokyo (UA), on to Los Angeles (UA), on to Frankfurt (LH) with layovers at about 1,5 hours each place, which is perfect since I want to do the circumnavigation really fast.
BUT: It's about 1,000 miles short of the required 22,858 miles. Does anyone have an idea for a 1,000 mile detour on my suggested route - preferably between Los Angeles and Frankfurt (a detour that is 1000 miles longer than the direct flight)?
BTW: Does anyone know if the mileage mentioned undet the flight details at star-alliance.com is correct, or should I look another place for this?
