- Ekaros 3y agoI don't think there is any reasonable route you can fly from Tokyo to New York without going over some land...
- alwayslikethis 3y agoThe current route takes it through the Arctic rather than what you may expect looking at a flat map. While it does go over land it wouldn't be hard to avoid populated areas, since there isn't many people in Greenland or the Arctic parts of Alaska.

- giarc 3y agoMy comment was about the fact that if you are taking off from a land locked city, you have to wait till you are over the ocean before going supersonic. So there is more time just travelling at regular speed. With New York, Toyko, London etc you only travel a short distance before you can speed up and create the sonic boom.
