I'll probably use it on some shorter routes, like IAD-MIA, which UAL used to do seasonally due to volume (coincidentally, right about now), and then sprinkle in some longer routes as I find them for the type on FlightAware.

 

Large aircraft = large volume of passengers

Large aircraft != long routes, necessarily

All sorts of short/medium routes round Asia. Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, all with real 777 routes and no more than 4 hours. HK to Taipei is one of the busiest routes in the world and Cathay fly 777s all day long.So do EVA. can't wait for release

Since you ask the question Luke- what are you planning?

  

Luke will be doing ultra long hauls if i know him correct :P

Probably come under the Long Haul/Ultra category the most. However I think 15 hour flights can only be done so much in FSX - maybe like two sectors a month. Average likely 8-12! However I'll definitely be doing some DXB>Europe runs which just fall into the long haul category. Those are for when I have time, but not too much! (-:

 

@olli4740 I'm a nosey person :-P

OMDB-KLAX polar route!  :Waiting:

Nope - this is how I learnt it in School:

 

Short Haul: <3 hours

Medium Haul: 3-6 hours

Long Haul: 6+ hours

 

I'm not sure if Ultra-Long Hauls have an official definition. However I'd place it 13+ hours. Surprising you voted that you hate long haul! 

Surely in this aircraft where 16 - 18 hours are possible, taking it for say a 6 hour flight is short haul!  :lol:

 

Not voted, but a mixture for me, maybe less crossing of Atlantic as I have done that alot in the 767 and 747 but some Europe - Asia - Pacific ones. Also Australia - Asia and New Zealand with ideas from Flightaware and making my routes involve places I have not flown into before. I do have a soft spot for VHHH to CYVR even though I have never flown it in the rw. Also a must when the 300 :wub:  comes out will be VHHH to KJFK and then some middle east to west coast US (polar routes).

That should keep me out of trouble!

Gotta break the freighter in right with ultra long haul.  7707NM from KMEM-OMDB.  Once that's completed maybe some shorter jumps.

Haha yes this is true. Once you do 12-16 hour flights, 6 is like a Heathrow>Manchester  :P  :lol:

Once you do 2 h flights, 6 h are like 12 - 16 h ...

 

NZCH -> NZAA : Longest route I'll ever fly in a T7 ...   :rolleyes:

Paul,

 

Flying The Virtual Skies Since FS95

I'll do some long haul with accelerated time until I get into long haul using real time. I'll probably do some 5-8 hour flights though, such as Brisbane to Singapore or New York to Los Angeles. 

Thanks,

Kevin L
