Far & Away

Round the World, Eastbound

2025-06-02 · Multiple carriers

A five-leg repositioning itinerary chasing an eastbound tailwind.

New York (JFK)London (LHR)London (LHR)Dubai (DXB)Dubai (DXB)Singapore (SIN)Singapore (SIN)Tokyo (NRT)Tokyo (NRT)Los Angeles (LAX)
  1. New York (JFK) → London (LHR)
  2. London (LHR) → Dubai (DXB)
  3. Dubai (DXB) → Singapore (SIN)
  4. Singapore (SIN) → Tokyo (NRT)
  5. Tokyo (NRT) → Los Angeles (LAX)

Booked as five one-way tickets to keep routing flexible, this loop circled the globe in fourteen days with layovers long enough to leave the airport each time. The Dubai-Singapore leg had the best tailwind of the whole trip and landed nearly forty minutes early.
