April 18, 201214 yr After becoming more or less familiar with the T7, I'm definitely gonna be doing an ACA flight from Toronto to London, that will be my first 'official' flight:-) I'm going to take her for a flight or two up and down the UK to just test her out, how epic it is etc get all my settings set up! I think my First will be EGLL-OMDB, I'm eager to jump right into a ULH. A friend at Emirates set me up with the OMDB-KLAX Flight Plan so that will probably be one of my first too. Once the 77W comes out I really want to do BAW15/16 Heathrow - Sydney via Singapore return Yeah.. I'm excited!! - Luke Pabari
April 18, 201214 yr What about Seattle? Emirates now flies to Seattle from Dubai. As overall distance Seattle is a shorter route (approx 13-14 hours). Operated by 777-300ER. Same type flies Dubai - New York, Dubai - Melbourne, Dubai - Brisbane, Dubai - Tokyo, etc. non stop. Before those routes were operated by A340-500. The A-bus was the fanciest plane. Those times are long gone. Now the 340-500 flies shorter flights like Dubai - Seychelles, Dubai - Mauritius. Regards, Martin Martinov / VATSIM 1207931
April 18, 201214 yr I read Air India will lease out 5 of its 8 LRs, after the 787 is introduced. Anyone know if there are any takers yet?

April 18, 201214 yr Operated by 777-300ER. They swapped Dubai-Seattle to a 77L. The 77W is on Dubai-Houston now.
April 18, 201214 yr My first flight'll be ACA033 (CYYZ-CYVR-YSSY) :D And then I'll be doing some Virgin Australia flights! :) There is an art . . . to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss

I'm not one to fly a non operating route or flying say the 77L with an Airline that doesn't have one but I'll definitely be doing a lot of 77W routes in the 77L with Emirates :) All I need now is an FSX Dubai addon.. Makes me wonder how far behind the 77W will be! She'll definitely get a lot of my attention ha! - Luke Pabari

April 22, 201214 yr Saudi Arabian Airlines Don't operate the -200LR. I've penciled in my first official 77L flight. YYZ-LHR. Something short and sweet before I really go ultra long haul. Thanks Matthew T Gardiner

April 23, 201214 yr Do the Emirates 77Ls have the aux fuel tanks? I don't think any airline has opted for the "ultra long-haul" tanks since cargo is more profitable. But I see the -LR slowly replacing -200ER because the former can carry more weight. I'm not one to fly a non operating route or flying say the 77L with an Airline that doesn't have one but I'll definitely be doing a lot of 77W routes in the 77L with Emirates :) All I need now is an FSX Dubai addon.. Makes me wonder how far behind the 77W will be! She'll definitely get a lot of my attention ha! I would imagine PMDG having the -300ER very soon after the base -LR given the virtually identical specs, except for the obvious fuselage length and performance.

April 23, 201214 yr Funny... Singapore Airlines still fly Airbus for their longest flights... i.e. Singapore to Newark. I wonder why don't they purchase B777 LR's to do that knowing that they phased out all other Airbus 340's... I'd like to try that flight on the 777 LR.
