=== Assistant: Here’s a realistic “around-the-world” routing in an Airbus A321, broken into 2-hour legs roughly 800–1,000 NM each. ===
Here’s a realistic “around-the-world” routing in an Airbus A321, broken into ~2-hour legs (roughly 800–1,000 NM each). This keeps it plausible for fuel, ETOPS, and airport availability while making a clean eastbound circumnavigation.

I’ll assume A321neo performance and eastbound travel to take advantage of prevailing winds.

==== ### ====
# New York (JFK) → Halifax (YHZ)
# Halifax → St. John’s (YYT)
# St. John’s → Keflavík, Iceland (KEF)
# Keflavík → Dublin (DUB)
# Dublin → London (LHR)

===== 1. London → Munich (MUC) =====
# Munich → Athens (ATH)
# Athens → Larnaca, Cyprus (LCA)
# Larnaca → Dubai (DXB)

===== 1. Dubai → Muscat (MCT) =====
# Muscat → Karachi (KHI)
# Karachi → Delhi (DEL)
# Delhi → Kolkata (CCU)

===== 1. Kolkata → Bangkok (BKK) =====
# Bangkok → Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)
# Ho Chi Minh City → Manila (MNL)

===== 1. Manila → Guam (GUM) =====
# Guam → Saipan (SPN)
# Saipan → Majuro (MAJ)
# Majuro → Kwajalein (KWA)
# Kwajalein → Honolulu (HNL) (longest leg ~2h30)

===== 1. Honolulu → Hilo (ITO) (reset stop) =====
# Hilo → Maui (OGG)
# Maui → Los Angeles (LAX) (~2h45, optional tanker stop if strict)

===== 1. Los Angeles → Denver (DEN) =====
# Denver → Chicago (ORD)
# Chicago → New York (JFK)

✔️ World circumnavigation complete

==== - Leg lengths mostly between 700–1,000 NM ====
* A321neo ETOPS-friendly
* Avoids ultra-long ocean crossings
* Uses real-world international airports
* Pacific is handled via island hopping, not fantasy range

==== - Westbound version (harder winds, different Pacific stops) ====
* Luxury version (major hubs only)
* MSFS / X-Plane flight plan pack
* Real airline-style schedules & fuel planning

If you want, I can:
* Convert this into a day-by-day itinerary
* Optimize it specifically for MSFS 2024
* Adjust for A321ceo instead of neo
* Create SimBrief-ready route files

Just tell me 👍
