From Beijing to São Paulo via Munich, a 20-hour journey across continents with layovers, time zone shifts, and a close call landing in Brazil.

The long-haul flight path, unexpected airport drama, shifting climates, and cultural surprises all add layers to the experience of crossing the planet. This is what really happens when you fly to the other side of the world.
