A day in the life (in under a minute): Time-Lapse video reveals the startling amount of planes crossing the Atlantic each day - with 2,464 flights between US and Europe. A video has shown the 2,464 airplanes that crossed the North Atlantic Ocean - in a 40-second snapshot. The clip, produced by Flightradar24, begins at 8pm Eastern Time and shows a large number of planes leaving the US for Europe. At that time, air traffic in Europe slows down, with fewer flights departing the continent.
American pilots could choose to fly to Canada or Mexico before crossing the Atlantic to Europe. Such flights are within the reach of any aircraft with a speed of 140 knots and would make a good dress rehearsal for longer crossings and a flight around the world. For my own dress rehearsal, I flew from Australia to Hong Kong via Ambon in Indonesia and Manila in the Philippines.
