I have kicked this around at work for awhile, and I can't get any good responses. Here's the question:
Find a routing on any airline, any citypairs that goes completely around the world in THREE legs (nonstops), and it MUST cross the equator at some point.
It used to be possible with SA - New York">JFK-JNB (SA), JNB-HKG (CX, SA), HKG-SA - New York">JFK (UA). Now CO flies HKG-SA - New Jersey">EWR, but that is not SA - New York">JFK now is it? I don't believe there is a nonstop between JNB-NRT (7351NM, plus JNB's density alt). Too bad SIN is north of equator, the new SIN-SA - New York">JFK service would work well!

Singapore is a bit hard as it is strategically placed one degree above the equator.
