RE: CArriers

Yes the market for flights across the pond is huge, but it may just be that the EU airlines have a bigger proportion of the demand. UA use a 744 on some routes I believe, or has that stopped now?

The US carriers will concentrate their 747s on routes that need them and have the demand… (eg from the states to Asia and Oceana across the pacific where opposing airlines will not have as big a demand.)

Well thats my reckoning anyway. I have considored it strange that US 747s are not as frequently used as they have been in the past, but there has to be some realistic reasoing behind it.

RE: New Virgin Atlanic routes

Great news.

I am pleased to here about the proposed routes to Australia. The competition with airlines such as BA and Qantas (the only direct a/c operators from LHR to Australia) will bring prices down, making trips to Oz cheaper for us! (although this displeases me slightly as Qantas is my fav. airline!!)

Virgin will certainly be doing well in Australia, With flights between the UK and oz and then the opertunity for connections with Virgin blue. Its all pretty obvious now!!
