With the last couple who have crossed the dateline – I thought this thread was about being on the ground, and airports did not count. I too have crossed the dateline, several times, and the furthest north I have been was in a plane somewhere over Alaska (between Osaka and Detroit) – my guess is about 60 North. And I’ve been on the ground in Honolulu (157.8 W), in a plane, but not actually leaving the plane.
