The route of a plane and time differences

Tweet

Colombia is a Spanish speaking country so I went to it from England via Spain. So is Argentina a Spanish speaking country so again I went there from England changing planes in Spain. On the planes I looked at the route mat. A lot of the journey was over the Atlantic Ocean. I found it more interesting when the map showed we were at South America and a few hours later knew we would land. When I flew from London to Cape Town in South Africa the plane flew past lots of countries in Africa. One man had the plane land and he ended up in Nigeria. He was very ill and needed to go to hospital there. I found the time difference was minimal for that trip I did. When I traveled to Australia the time difference was a lot. I had to know the time in my home country. The times were so different I had to phone at dawn or late in the evening. On my flight from Singapore to London I looked out of the plane and saw the United Arab Emirates. It was night time and I could see the lights there. On a plane do you look out at the screen showing the route? Have you experienced a time difference from where you live on your travels?
