I'm sorry... I wasn't thinking of your specific case. I heard several different things that affect selecting which direction, continent to continent makes the most sense. In my case, yes, I would like to know more about which direction to fly to minimize time in the air, as I am not thinking of it in the aggregate of a three month trip, but rather, would I prefer a 10 hour flight or an 11.5 hour flight. For me, flight time and flight miles earned are very significant as I try to plan my first RTW.

I hope my interests can be accomodated in your thread.
