    At the moment, the airlines that operate the A345, have a reason to do so. EK fly them non-stop DXB-SYD. SN plans on flying non-stop SIN-LAX/SFO (not sure if this has begun, anyone know?). Realistically, there are no routes originating in London that justify this type of range. You’d still need a hell of a lot more range to fly LHR-SYD/MEL non-stop.

    I couldn’t have said it better myself. I like products from both companies.

    AF, like several European carriers, stopped flying to SYD a few years back, dartie. I really don’t see them starting again, anytime soon. They probably codeshare with Korean from CDG to SYD via Seoul.

    I posted 2 yesterday, LBA. One of them (thread now on pg. 2 of the forum) has ZERO views and one response 🙁 , as we speak. I have some of the KLM and Corsair 747’s and of the AF A340 that I’ll be putting up once I fix them up.

    What is the weather like down there? Did you fly Air New Zealand getting there, as well?

    Long walk, indeed! Coupled with my alergies going ballistic, I wasn’t feeling too good. It was some of the best spotting I’ve done anywhere, however.

    I was there Aug. 9-16. Yes, I know, what the heck took me so damn long to post? My apologies.

    Thanks for that Michael. That schedule does look confusing, but it looks like they operate 4 flights weekly. That’s quite a few. Did BA ever match that route with one of their own?

    Does Virgin serve LAS from LHR or LGW? Also, is this a daily service?

    B747 is too big for some routes?

    I don’t think the MD11F has an advantage over the 747F, per se. I just think airlines such as LH Cargo and FedEx are stocking up on 2nd hand MD11’s and converting them to freighters because they are considerably cheaper to purchase than a 747F of equal or lesser age and still have years of service left in them.

    Rather than post my favourite 2 letter word for an unprecedented 3rd time, I’m going to assume you went on pure speculation here, Matthew.

    It looks fantastic in those colours. What routes is it used on?
