One of the best things on long haul flights is the entertainment. I don't really watch movies. I read and listen to music on the earphone. One thing I do watch are the maps showing where we are. (And on the new A380's they have cameras on the tail and underside so you can actually SEE where you are.) These maps above show two spots in a flight from SFO (San Francisco) to CDG (Paris). As in all of these flights to Europe from San Francisco, the largest body of water flown over is Hudson's Bay. The flight pattern takes the plane over Greenland (which is white) or Iceland (which is brown) or if you are flying to say Berlin or Helsinki you get both.
The problem with these maps is that they show you how long it takes to get to where you want to go. The good part is that they tell you the cities you can see out the window.
