According to Flat Earthers, this is the route a direct flight from London to Sydney would take. I don't remember flying via Norway and Siberia. Care to explain? (media.conspiracies.win)

That route going to take you over Ukraine, no commercial airliners is going to be operating in this air space currently, as far as I know.

Read it right there. Flat Earthers are retards. Does that look like the Ukraine to you? Where is the Ukraine. Point it out on that map?

Every single one of them has almost no education. Like the basics. Math. Science. Geography.

Russia still has international flight. Despite of sanctions.

The route takes it over the pole. Flight is diverted due to the Planet's magnetism and cold affecting it.

The flight needs to refuel is the biggest problem.

Until despite of the supposedly less flights and blah blah the climate, They're making a Europe to Sydney in 2 hours. Hypersonic flight is being developed. They tried reentry commerically, but it failed, largely still unmanned, outside of astronauts.

The problem on that route is the pole and refueling.

Flight is diverted due to the Planet's magnetism and cold affecting it.

Yet you can still fly directly from New York to Hong Kong, taking you almost directly over the North Pole.

No, you cannot. At all. Flight tends to avoid it. Completely avoid it. There are very Satellites there. The Planet's magnetism renders compasses, navigation, kaput. Meanwhile there's the obvious weather.

Nowhere near the Pole, yes flight goes to Anchorage, and Greenland. But it doesn't passes by the Pole there.

Your planned route is very close to it. Risk zone. Weather as well.

Aside you have fuel problems. You'd have to refuel. It diverts any path considerably.

You do not need a compass, when you fly in a straight line, level flight. Gyroscopes are used to keep the flight level. Even though you say it is so dangerous, I know not of any commercial airplane crashing when flying over the North Pole.

Flight time from no stop flights from New York to Hong Kong is about 16 hours, and flies daily: within range of fuel capacity of big airplanes.

Also compasses not being useful the closer you get to the North Pole is only natural, as you will be drawing a smaller and smaller circle around the North Pole, making any movement having a bigger impact on the compass needle.
