Hi All,

 

I'm just wondering if any of you know of short 777 connecting flights in Australia.  I'm not a fan of long-haul and am looking for some realistic short routes to fly in Australia with this aircraft.  I've flown Philippine Airlines' A340 from MEL to SYD on my way to Manila, so am looking for similar such routes.

 

Thanks very much for your help!

 

James

Melbourne-Auckland

Sydney-Auckland

Sydney-Christchurch

Brisbane-Auckland

 

are the only ones i know in the Australasia area, all flown by Emirates.

Without wishing to hijack James' thread, can anyone advise on any more real world routes using 777s (anywhere in the world, though preferably Europe/Middle East) that are less than 3/4 hour flights?

Singapore airlines, Manchester - Singapore (Stops in Munich before continuing to Singapore)

and also the flights i have put above are around the 4hr mark.

This might do I believe : http://fr.flightaware.com/live/aircrafttype/B772?;offset=0;order=filed_ete;sort=ASC

777-200 flights in real world and sorted by increasing time still need to browse through and select what you want

Thanks Adam, that's a good one for me as I have payware scenery both ends!

Thanks Aurelien!

Going back a couple of years ago Malaysia Airlines used to fly a 772 on a Sydney-Brisbane sector as part of a Kuala Lumpur-Sydney-Brisbane-Kuala Lumpur routing. However both cities now have dedicated flights to KL so the routing no longer exists. As pointed out before while International Air New Zealand use their 777's on Tasman flights to the big 3 cities with each sector ~3-3.5 hours. Emirates also use the 77W on Sydney-Christchurch and Brisbane-Auckland (Until October) flights. V Australia also used to fly their 77W on Sydney - Nadi which was relatively short

Hi James,

 

Im not a great fan of long haul either, but the PMDG 777 will have a time acceleration feature so long haul is really not a problem now.

 

Greg

The shortest scheduled flight of any 777 is British Airways FLT NO. 2157 Anitgua-St Kitts. Scheduled flying time 35 mins.

 

It's full route is Gatwick-Antigua-St Kitts, think its twice a week service.

 

On others days its Gatwick-Antigua-Punta Cana.

(Antigua-Punta Cana, scheduled 1 hour.

-Sydney - Brisbane

-Sydney - Melbourne

-Melbourne - Adelaide

- Melbourne - Sydney

- Canberra - Sydney

- Adelaide - Canberra

- Sydney - Coffs Harbour

You are right

What was it Froogle flew? Central Africa to London in less than 3 including prefight with the intelligent time compression.

If you do a quick search on the forum here you will see this topic has come up a fair bit. Anyway...

 

BA - OBBI - OTBD about 20 minutes on the 777 if departing runway 12L and arriving RWY 16

 

Qatar fly OTBD - OMDB

 

Emirates fly OMDB - OBBI

 

Just a few out of many inter gulf 777 routes, pretty sure the Dubai/India flights are also below 4 hours

-Sydney - Brisbane

-Sydney - Melbourne

-Melbourne - Adelaide

- Melbourne - Sydney

- Canberra - Sydney

- Adelaide - Canberra

- Sydney - Coffs Harbour

 

You can cross out Coffs Harbour as a destination. It is capable of handling aircraft up to a 767, but no larger. I live 4 minutes from the airport and have never seen a 767 here. I have, however, seen a C-17 Globemaster II doing touch-and-go training numerous times.

The only T7 into Adelaide is a 300ER return out of Dubai. Not exactly short at ~14 hours. Malaysian did, but is currently using 330s.

 

Trans-Tasman (across the dutch) in an ANZ T7 would be the best bet, especially if/when the 200/300ERs come out.

United will be running the 772 on the SYD-MEL-SYD flights when they replace the 744 mid next year.
