How does that work?
Where is SID?

Thanks, SID is Sal, Cape Verde – Amilcar Cabral International (off the west coast of Africa, about 300 mi w of Senegal).

Point to point, it is further in statute miles from NYC to SIN than it is from LAX to SIN. But, because you use a polar route for NYC to SIN, it looks like it will actually take a little less flight time to get there, than it will to fly from LAX to SIN, although in statue miles, LAX to Sin is shorter.

I use a world globe and some stirng to visualize these routes, otherwise, I don’t think I’d get it to easily…..:)

Holy $hit

I think it’s 18.5 hours

not as long as it would od in an A343

This August, Singapore AL begins NS service between EWR and SIN. A polar route, correct??

And actually not as long as the LAX-SIN route in nautical miles, but is atually longer in statue miles I believe.

#3. Is the east-bound lroute of ATL-JNB on a 346 at 8,439 miles (the westbound route JNB-ATL stops for refueling at SID).

Hold on what are the other A 345’s doing:

9V-SGA is flying to LAX
9V-SGB ???
9V-SGC ???
9V-SGD ???
9V-SGE ???

So where is the others flying

Well, since the flight is daily, then that requires 2 aircraft. One coming, one going. So then where are the other 3? Probably operating regional Asian routes at the moment.

Does someone has more information about the 777-200 LR, the range charts of boeing say it cal also fly nonstop from LHR to SYD.

Don’t know about that yet. That’s still out of reach??
Air France will be the first to operate the 777-300ER this April. Does anyone know the routes are yet?
This August, Singapore AL begins NS service between EWR and SIN. A polar route, correct?? And actually not as long as the LAX-SIN route in nautical miles, but is actually longer in statue miles I believe. These Polar routes are interesting things……. But, these two will be the #1 and #2 longest NS flights.
#3. Would be the east-bound route of ATL-JNB on a 346 at 8,439 miles
(the westbound route JNB-ATL stops for refueling at SID–Sal, Cape Verde – Amilcar Cabral International ).
#4. Would be EWR-HKG on a 772 at 8,055 miles.

(I get different miles from different sites……For example, for the LAX-SIN NS route with SQ, I got 8,650 / 8,762 / 8,771……)

LHR-SYD

I wouldn’t want to be sitting in tourist class for that long

Hi,

That is an extremely long flight!

Nationwide Air

It will take longer on the LA to Singapore route.
