EU citizens don't need passport to enter Norway so svalbard to reunion is possible for all eu citizens

[loric]

actually because of the coronavirus outbreak, there was a flight from Papeete (French Polynesia) to Metropolitan France and this was the longest domestic flight of the world

Technically, thanks to the EU Schengen zone you could start in any EU country, preferably as far away from France as possible, drive from there to Paris, then go on a flight to réunion

Their is a even better one :) If you are a resident of the Pitcairn Island ( a small British territory with 50 residents), you can legally travel to New Zealand to seek medical treatment without a proper British passport. You will arrive at Auckland, New Zealand which also marks the beginning of your journey, after your treatment you can go back to Pitcairn but you can also get on a boat and travel all the way to Gibraltar, UK. Gibraltar is also a British territory besides the Mediterranean Sea but due to it’s geographical advantages it’s actually the opposite of Auckland, New Zealand, which means you can travel over 20, 000 kilometers with out a passport!

Did Apollo astronauts carry a passport to the moon? If not then... there’s your answer.

So walking around in a circle in a field doesn't count?

3:43 one of the most interesting things in the video is that the easternmost point in the “US” and the westernmost point in the “US” (via travel not longitude) are both named Point Udall.
That’s really neat.

Yeah yeah, but you will NEVER enter great nation of Arstotzka without passport and required papers!

I love how he called the UN document “one of these bad boys”

After a quick google search, I learnt several things that contradict the video :
-The Air France Flight from Paris CDG to Tahiti Faa does indeed stop in the US, but the passengers don't actually exit the plane while it's refueling and don't need a passport.
-There are domestic flights from Tahiti to New Caledonia.
-EU citizens don't need a passport to go to another country

So you could technically fly from the Canary islands to Spain. Then Fly from there to Paris. Then use that one special Flight from Paris to Tahiti. Then from Tahiti to New Caledonia and drive to the furthest point of New Caledonia. All of that without needing a passport. The total length of the trip from Morro Jarble, Canary Islands, Spain to Kuto, New Caledonia, France is actually 19 390 km (12 050 mi) making it even longer than the Guam, Puerto-Rico trip

With the cues at the TSA? *Maybe a few meters*

St Pierre & Miquelon is part of France, just of the coast of Newfoundland, that has a non-stop flight to Paris (they used to have to fly through Montreal, but their runway has been extended so now there's direct flights) - no passports needed for French/EU citizens, so it's possible to fly from St. Pierre to Reunion, which are 13, 312km apart, without a passport.

There is also a direct flight from Paris to Papeete (French Polynesia) with a stop in Vancouver. Other airlines do this route via San Francisco or LA, and the Americans, being American, insisted on full immigration checks (even for EU citizens), but wether or not Canada does, I don't know. On the St. Pierre route when that required a full-blown connection in Montreal with a change of planes, they had special arrangements for transferring passengers allowing them to avoid any Canadian immigration/customs stuff, so it'd be nice if they've extended the same courtesy to the Paris-Vancouver-Papeete flights. If so that's 15, 715km without a passport!

Its always a good day when half as interesting uploads

[Meg_A_Byte]

Not mentioning Schengen at all...grrr.

Now HAI’s hearting comments? I’ve seen it all.

While not as far, you can go through most o South America with your regular ID if you are from a Mercosul contry. The two extremes of South America are from Cape Froward (South, Chile) to Punta Gallinas (North, Colombia), both countries are part of Mercosul, so as a Brazilian I can go there without a passport, that's 7373 km (4582 miles).

"The UK will need to get used to people doing that pretty soon anyways." What's the French equivalent for "oh snap"?
