You will not be getting any report on the aircraft fuel plan or fuel uplift. Even if it were provided it wouldn’t make any difference. The fuel loaded for the route in question will be standard for the time of year taking into consideration a multitude of factors. The Captain may elect to stick on a few extra tonnes and if he did so that would be quite normal and acceptable in all the circumstances.
G-ARVH, you don't have to lecture me on the ins and outs of fuel planning. I'm well aware of how it works and also a regular operating into Beijing. The point of my question was that if there was a significant difference from the plan without weather considerations, or from the Capt's normal extra fuel carriage, then that would be significant.

It's a very obvious question to an experienced operator but it hasn't been addressed in public. Someone's flight plan was different to MAS, whose plan was it?
