So wait, a flight from Luanda to Sao Paulo takes eight and a half hours, covering over twice the distance of the flight from New York to London, which takes seven and a half. I didn't know Luanda still flied the Concorde, because that's practically supersonic if calculated on the map above.
That is what the airlines claim. According to Flightpedia The average flight time between Sao Paulo to Luanda is 16 hours 50 minutes.

This flight do exist though. So you could always buy a ticked, bring a clock, and see for yourself how long the flight takes.
The same site also shows the New York - London route as taking fifteen hours.

So again, not exactly a major time difference with regard to the over twice the distance.
The key is in the stopover. In Sao Paulo, you are going to have to wait for 5 hours and 45 min before catching the transfer flight to Buenos Aires. So the airline is not counting on landing on time, they always going to be a few hours late.
Anyway, a ticked only cost $800, and the flight goes weekly, so it is possible to try out for yourself.
I think that in this case, that is, for flat-earth theory in general, the burden of proof lies on the side whose ideas of terrestrial geography aren't already programmed into every navigational system in the world. I'm afraid being the intrepid explorer is up to you at this point. Feel free to take a GPS on the trip.
