also flew directly over north pole (see SIN-EWR inaugural flights - excerpt "After a few hours of course we had to stay up to see the North Pole - the flight path taking us within 1 degree of it. We nearly missed it as while we were yakking away we had made some time ahead of schedule. Luckily the cloud cover cleared away and we saw the northern ice shelf - alas no big sign saying "North Pole is here" and no candy-striped pole! 
Ducking back into the cabin I saw the flight path map - the aircraft symbol was spinning wildly which I took to mean we were pretty close to the North Pole and so the system couldnt work out our heading properly.")

Northern Most: Crossed the Antartic Circle by bus and from there flew to a village in Alaska that could be reached by plane only. I also flew over the North Pole on another ocassion ( I think it was on my way to China but I have to review my video to be sure since it was some years ago).
Southern Most: The Antartic Peninsula and also one of the Antartica islands.
I also have stood on the Prime Meridian line a couple of times in Greenwich.
I still need to do the same with the equator line.
