"What would actually have to happen for Guy Fieri to be crowned Queen of England?" Trans politics aside, don't you have to be a UK citizen to be queen/royalty?

Just FYI- In Maori (which had no written language), "Wha" is pronounced "Fuh", so Whangarei is pronounced "fuhngaray"

Alternate title: Roasting Newark International Airport
the newark airport slander ☹️
Here's my top performing list: Taipei to Asuncion is 19929 km, 4.10 million // Reasonably likely. Paraguay is one of only 14 countries that recognize the ROC as the legitimate government of China. Santiago to Xian is 19908 km, 5.04 million Wellington to Madrid is 19856 km, 1.65 million Cordoba to Wuhan is 19847 km, 2.88 million Lima to Phnom Penh is 19815 km, 3.48 million Bogota to Jakarta is 19811 km, 12.31 million Quito to Singapore is 19745 km, 2.99 million Buenos Aires to Shanghai is 19629 km, 15.52 million Format: [City A] to [City B] is [Distance], [Geometric Mean Metro Population] // comments *note: geometric mean m(a,b) = sqrt(ab)
The best way to look for antipodal points is on an antipode map
This is officially the most boring hai video😳
Guy Fieri as queen would be cool rename the UK to Flavor Town
Woohoo, Whangarei... There's a place I never thought I'd hear on a ALthe video 🙂 next they will be talking about Kamo
They can do air refuel
ok shirley
Man, you gonna stop f*cking with Newark Airport! It's got more flights than LaGuardia and Kennedy put together. But, being from Newark, I can tell you must be from Jersey.
If there’s enough demand, a Buenos Aires to Shanghai flight would be at least 12,177 miles long. The shortest route passes over Antarctica, so it would likely be even longer than that. That’s pretty close to antipodal. Plus, I can’t imagine the Brazilians who want to travel to Asia would be miffed about a stop in Buenos Aires
Hi i'm from Indonesia
Jesus Christ this dude really hates Newark Airport
1:04 Cordoba (Spain) and Hamilton (NZ) are 8km further apart than those
Jorge
Muaj më parë
Also both of them have 2km+ long runways, which isn't too much but it's enough for a long range business jet
1:36 Aerial refueling: Am I a joke to you?
Hey sorry I’m from New Zealand and it’s actually pronounced Whangarei with an F sound at the start. No hate
Think about this find two airports are right next to each other fly from one of the exact opposite direction going around the entire globe
I flew out of Newark a few weeks ago. Honestly not bad. Probably low demand because of covid tho
YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith Intl to BIKF Keflavik Intl is 16,627 km apart from each other and possibly could have a lot of demand
What about a Edinburgh Christchurch direct route ? Both are international airports, There is a strong connection between scottish people and New zealanders (especially in the south island) so could be a possible route ? and would top up the Shangai Sao paulo route :)
One problem: There are flights from South America to Asia. In the past, there were flights from Venezuela do Iran. Nowdays (and by that I mean, pre covid pandemic) Sao Paulo is conected to Doha (Qatar Airways), Dubai (Emirates) and Tel Aviv (LATAM), and Rio de Janeiro is conected to Dubai (Emirates), on flights that continue to Santiago/Chile and Buenos Aires/Argentina. The route Sao Paulo - Abu Dhabi (Etihad Aiways) has also existed in the past. As of December 1st 2020, Qatar and Emirates are conecting Asia and South America, even during covid-19 pandemic time.
as a New Jersey resident, I've had Ok experience with Newark airport
2:38 wait what I didn’t know that airports need passenger to gain money who knew
Japan to Sao Paulo is shorter over the North Pole so wouldn't that be the logical flight path ? BTW experience tells me you would have to be bat sh!t insane to do these flights without a sleeper cabin, so out of the reach of most people.
Why is there so many memes about Newark airport?
Madrid to Auckland???
Let’s see how he works planes into this one
Because you know empire ? More like genocide my nan vs me the white queen won death to the baty ronas n her
3:07, London to Sydney is Non-Stop so that is your answer

Sam has a vendetta against Newark airport
wangarei? it sounds more like an "f"
One cool thing about truly antipodal airports is it really doesn't matter what direction you depart. Distance is the same and you will always hit the antipode.
It hurts me to hear him say Whangarei
Iam from Indonesian
I thought the big 3 in the Middle East flew nonstop to Brasil
What happened to him at Newark airport. Does he need therapy?
You are incorrect. There is a (fairly obvious) longer route than 18,532km Sau Paulo to Shanghai. It takes 18,713km from Perth, Australia (PER) to New York, United States (JFK). There Is certanley enough demand.
Sorry but in Berlin the airport is the badest 😂😂
Newark Airport somewhat decent during COVID-19
newark, and i cannot stress this enough, Has Not Been Bullied Enough; PLEASE keep going
You forgot Madrid to Christchurch

Auckland and Madrid is 19543 Km apart less than 500 km reaching 20K km max!
Surely you'd virtually be there if you landed in Queenstown airport?....I've often done the Heathrow-Dubai-Sydney/Melbourne-Auckland flight (crikey that's long...I once then did Auckland to Queenstown) and I always wondered if they'd be able to do it in a single flight....so that's a no then?
You missed out on a great chance for another newark roast. "Even though 11,490 miles, or 18,490 kilometers, or the typical length of the customer service line at Newark Airport, separate the two airports."
One thing I have got from this video is thah sam really does not like Newark Airport
Better US to Australia flight: Perth to New York. PER to NYC is a little bit farther than São Paulo to Shanghai by more than 100 km, and since it is in Australia, it might be viable for people who live in Perth but work in NYC
DreamlinerSP
Take off at newark, fly west until you reach newark. Longest flight
It is pronounced 'Fangarei' and not 'Wangarei'. Whangarei is a Maori word and Wh is pronounced as 'Fa' in Maori.
You know that there are a bunch of South Koreans in Brazil as well, about 1/2 of what the Japanese have and that is more then the Chinese, So Soul airport in South Korea to the one Rio or further away Sao Palo would make sense for the worlds longest non stop point to point airport in the world.
im an indonesian and i can assure you we all want a 24 hour flight as long as its paid for.
Dis man sure hates Newark
This video should be renamed to, ‘Roasting Newark Airport for 6 minutes and 27 seconds.’
As someone who has had to fly about 25 flights a year connecting through Newark, you right.
Not to nit-pick but Whangarei NZ pronounced Phangarei, with a ph sound. It’s weird but that’s how Māori spelling is lol. Wh is pronounced ph. Easy mistake to make.
The wh in any new zealand city is pronounced similar to f. So whangarei would be pronounced fangaray.
There would be demand for a direct flight from Johannesburg, South Africa to Canada. What distance would that be?
Well recently the longest non stop flight was From New York to Sidney in December or September last year of over 19 hours
I think someone flew through newwark recently
I think about this sometimes maybe Perth to New York or evening Auckland to London
3:30 okay, Shirley (that Streisand effect tho)

Who else started laughing at the best airport joke before he finished it?
I love EWR, it’s my hometown airport, just 5 miles away, and I don’t have to walk far from checkin to gate.
After hearing all this hate toward Newark, I am forced to believe that Sam has not seen very many airports...
Imagine the world without newark airport
Sydney to Boston
HAI is wrong because Portland,Oregon,USA to Chennai,Tamil Nadu,India is 1 day and 5hr
There is a loooooooooooooooooonger posible flight. Kuala Lumpur Airport to Singapore Changi. At first, it looks short. But if you go the other way, it goes longer
NICE! (im from indonesia)
Btw when you said Whangareis runway is too short just move it to auckland
Didn’t you make a video about a prop plane that flew for 32 hours?
You saying Newark Airport is the worst airport in the would is preposterous...
Well South America is getting full of Otakus so maybe are going to be more demand
1:04 well there goes another butchered name
Longest Flight: *GO FROM ONE AIRPORT TO THE SAME AIRPORT AND FLY ALL THE WAY AROUND THE EARTH*
Dislikes are probably people who work at the Newark airport 😂
How about... Auckland to Madrid? I could find figures that supported an Air New Zealand 787-9 flying there every 10 days, around 16,000 people from Spain visit New Zealand a year, though I couldn't find any figures for New Zealanders flying to Spain.
i just damn love how sam butchers indonesian
NZAA-LEMG
Two big ones you missed are Auckland to Madrid, and Auckland to Lisbon. Would get a decent number of travelers. Both are over 12,000 miles
9:39
There are worse airports than Newark. LaGuardia, JFK, O'Hare, Atlanta...
Can you guys please vote for my dog and help me win this? Just to let you know it will require you to have a Facebook to vote. Thanks! americasfavpet.com/2020/ollie-30
Well, click are , shh
The longest flight in the world is SIN-EWR on an airbus a350-900XLR with singerpore airlines
the longest possible commercial flight is actually like JFK to newark but just go the other way idiots
The way you pronounce Whāngāreī is priceless, just how the locals say it “you’re going the Wrong-Wayy”
There is actually a plane that could travel non-stop between antipodal airports, but sadly it is not an airliner. A report in 2003 found that if the USAF replaced the 8 archaic engines on the B-52 with 4 of those found on the variants of 737s and A320s then flying, range would increase by 22%. Since the range of the B-52 is 8,800 nautical miles, than with new engines, it could go more than halfway around the world (10,800 nmi) without refueling. (Technically, almost any military plane could go 20,000 km non-stop because of in-flight refueling, but I'm going to ignore that fact)
Whangarei's 'wh' is pronouced 'f' though ;)
Hey Newark Airport is... above average, though I do have a slight bias since I'm one of the peasants that live in NJ
Guys please visit my channel once for fact videos
Wt about San Francisco to Auckland ?
2:42 - 2:45 jet lag
2:35 big brain time
Never read? But I'm so amusing. You're missing out.
