An Australian man has been recognized by the Guinness World Records for completing an around-the-world flight via scheduled flights passing through precise antipodal points.
Michael Robinson, who departed from Auckland, New Zealand, completed the eastward circumnavigation of the globe through exact antipodal points with five flights operated by Qantas, Iberia, and Qatar Airways, returning to Auckland on January 27. The time taken was 58 hours and 8 minutes, reducing the previous record by more than three hours.
Robinson commented, “I’m very proud to become a Guinness World Record holder thanks to the oneworld Alliance. I chose to circumnavigate the globe with oneworld due to its extensive network, flight frequency, and ease of connections.” (Photo: @traveloneworld on X)
