Flying distamce between airfields suitable for an emergency landing while flying over the North Pacific is shorter than over the South Pacific, considering a flight from Chile to Australia for instance. |

There are rules for land and water. The old rules from decades ago limited twin engine jets to flying a maximum of 60 minutes from an airport large enough to land. Then as jet engines got larger ETOPS rules allowed longer time between airports. The rules are based on the specification of the planes and now ETOPS range from 75 minutes to 370 minutes. |

The sweet spot is suborbital but above the Kármán line.

Yup, but to do that currently requires a glide or orbit capable device. Cant carry enough oxidizer for the fuel and still have passengers
JSH:YES I KNOW it's better than what I quoted but running searches on a tiny smart phone in europe sucks hunks. You're the computer search expert, you can go find it
