Are there some special procedures or routes for flights like yours that goes against the flow?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937020534162568521.post-16174295909887042652008-01-12T09:05:00.000-05:002008-01-12T09:05:00.000-05:00Great trip report Kent!

I had just assumed this was to keep traffic over the North Atlantic flowing in roughly the same direction, but I guess this is not the case, as your flight proved. So is there any reason why the majority of transatlantic flights leave Europe in the morning, and leave the US in the evening? Or is it that this was that they way they did it in the early days of transatlantic travel and so it has just stuck?<BR/><BR/>ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937020534162568521.post-61685598680941230332008-01-12T02:46:00.000-05:002008-01-12T02:46:00.000-05:00That sounds like an awesome trip!
