I flew 30,000 miles round-the-world (in 10 days)

December 14, 2024

In this video Gabe flies round-the-world on oneworld alliance airlines quite quickly (in business class, luckily). oneworld is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. To help celebrate, they asked Gabe to take a round-the-world trip using one of their Explorer tickets. The result: 9 flights on 7 member airlines to 4 continents in 10 days. And this video.

Join Gabe for an epic trip condensed into this one video: Helsinki-London-New York-Los Angeles-Tokyo-Hong Kong-Sydney-Perth-Doha-Helsinki. Along the way we’ve got interactions with friends and cabin crew, dozens of inflight meals, moving through some of the world’s greatest cities and their airports, a highlight reel of the best in each flight, lounges, boats, taxis, trains, planespotting and more. Get a nice dose of travel vibes and see what it’s like to circumnavigate the world in fantastic comfort on some of the planet’s best airlines.

Our crazy planespotting mission in Tokyo

3 hours (transatlantic!) in the Dash 8 cockpit

We’re going transatlantic on the workhorse Dash 8-200 with Air Greenland – flying from the brand new Nuuk International Airport in Greenland to Reykjavik’s Keflavik Airport in Iceland (KEF). And we’re sitting in the jumpseat which means we have 3 hours on this very-long-haul-for-a-turboprop over the ice cap and remote east Greenland plus the Atlantic Ocean.

Flying the A340 from Antarctica to Africa!

It’s time to leave Antarctica and head home after 8 incredible days on the 7th continent with White Desert.

Then it’s time to climb onboard and make the 5.5 hour trek back to South Africa.
