Christchurch [Intl], NZ - Lugo (Castro de Rey) [Las Rozas], ES

On the other hand: ARI-SYX are not exactly on opposite ends of the globe (about 2 minutes NS and 15 minutes EW), so some longer distance might be possible on great circle mapper...

HTB.

Edited to add: For example:

0°0'0"S 0°0'0"E-0°0'0"N 180°0'01"E with 12451 mi. Does this qualify as a valid flight -- two aircraft carriers would come in handy...
