Interesting. Must have been southern hemisphere. Even the the farthest I’ve been is 9,464 miles.

That’s Denver to South Africa.

BTR-Houston-Dubai-Bandar-Tokyo-Houston-BTR.

In one trip. Whatever “around the world” is, mileage-wise.

Approximately 8,850mi.

It looks like the absolute furthest I can get without being in the ocean is about 10,980mi.

From La to Cambodia is 9,258 mi across the Pacific according to google. But we went over the Atlantic so I may have traveled further

ETA: I found this site you can plug in your airports and it will tell you the mileage...

Looks like mine was 11,378 mi
