London to Tokyo great circle looks like it doesn’t cover much human habituated areas, especially if you modified it a bit to go around Norway. I think if fueling allows, you could come up with routes like this for many potential trips.

I don't think it will be hard for them to argue that entitled business people having to quickly travel the other part of the world have no right negatively affecting their quality of life.
