Can someone tell me the flight path for the Emirates flight from San Francisco to Dubai?
I know it goes over Canada, the North Pole, and Russia but can you be more specific. Does it go around northeast Canada first or go directly north and fly over Oregon Washington and Vancouver. Does it fly over the center of the North Pole or go to the side where Greenland is. And where over Russia. Maybe Moscow. Please help.

Sometime tomorrow, after 445PM PDT, go to the URL shown below and enter EK 226 for April 16. You should get a response of the fight times and in flight. Click on the "In Flight" and you will get more info including a map of the flight's route. If this does not work, email me. Long distance flights follow the great circle route. To see this check the second URL and enter SFO to DXB the codes for the airports and you will see a presentation of the great circle route between these two airports. The great circle for this trip is to head 002 degrees which will take the flight just to the right of the north pole and then head down over Russia starting just east of Novaya Zemlya, about 50 degrees East longitude, and follow just east of this longitude all the way to Dubai.
