Correct, same flight time ‘eastbound’ and ‘westbound.’
How does that work?
Where is SID?

Thanks, SID is Sal, Cape Verde – Amilcar Cabral International (off the west coast of Africa, about 300 mi w of Senegal).

Point to point, it is further in statute miles from NYC to SIN than it is from LAX to SIN. But, because you use a polar route for NYC to SIN, it looks like it will actually take a little less flight time to get there, than it will to fly from LAX to SIN, although in statue miles, LAX to Sin is shorter.

I use a world globe and some stirng to visualize these routes, otherwise, I don’t think I’d get it to easily…..:)
