I know to avoid olympic holidays – flyjet with the old (built 1986) 762 they have acquired things are about to get worse for them me thinks.

Just seems like they are cutting it a bit fine. Strong head winds would increase the fuel consumption and over the atlantic, i imagine it can happen quite often, not many places to divert over the atlantic. Heard about an excel 767 that took 2hours longer to cross the atlantic due to unanticipated strong head winds!! The figure of 3664 was for the shortest route between manchester and orlando. Presume 3500nm was for a full capacity 757-200 – the range was taken off the excel web site. A simple way of looking at it is that it takes roughly 9 hours, the average cruising speed is 500mph thats up to 4500.

NB a nautical mile is less than a normal hence 4217 miles is 3664 nautical miles. All aeroplane ranges are quoted in nautical miles.

My mistake its 3664 – still 164 more that the range though!!

Distance between Manchester, England, United Kingdom and Sanford, Florida, United States, as the crow flies:
4217 miles (6786 km) (3664 nautical miles)

Initial heading from Manchester to Sanford:
west (280.1 degrees)
Initial heading from Sanford to Manchester:
northeast (42.0 degrees)
