Continents, Seas, and Oceans Crossed Flying Mumbai → New York via Japan

A great-circle route from Mumbai to New York passing near Japan traverses:

  • Continents: Asia → North America
  • Seas: Arabian Sea, Gulf of Oman, Persian Gulf (if routed west), but more likely: Sea of Japan, Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska
  • Oceans: Indian Ocean → Pacific Ocean → (briefly) Arctic Ocean near Bering Strait → North Pacific → (if continuing east) no Atlantic; a polar route stays in Pacific/Arctic.

Actual flight paths vary by winds, airspace, and airline routing; a typical routing would cross the Indian Ocean, then the North Pacific, possibly clipping the Arctic Ocean near the Bering Strait.
