Imagine being 62 and having been in jail since you were 16.

Good question. And although Australia is on the map, it has no number next to it.

@Mik That was interesting. I think it is brain damage. I cannot imagine that is more comfortable for them. From the documentatry, it does not seem like there is a physical problem with their back which forces them to do that.

I didn’t either. Very interesting. I did notice the airport was busier than passenger traffic would be.

I know that with Russia airspace not available, a lot of Europe airlines have cut back on flights to Asia because of the added costs because they have to fly longer. Probably effects the Anchorage airport also.

Polar route does make a big difference. During the 90’s we ran weekly drilling, workover and service crew change charter flights out of Calgary and over the Pole into Surgut in Western Siberia. Flight time was 10.5 hours direct. The normal scheduled route was Calgary - Frankfurt - Moscow - Surgut which at minimum totalled 22 hours flight time excluding stopovers and (inevitable) flight delays between Moscow and Surgut or Nizhnevartovsk.
