Is flying in the US your only option?
Could this thing take a polar route from New York to Hong Kong?
There are plenty of land borders, a flight isn't necessary.
Sure, at some point the distances are just too great and flying is the only option
Could the commute be via a plane?
true but there are routes that are mostly over water, say, London - NY and Tokio - Los Angeles.

maybe all they need is a layover?
"fly" to a less convenient airport?
The goal is to travel through the fewest countries possible, not the most direct land route.
