Hi all,
First time poster so please be gentle with me.
I'm flying from Schiphol to Lima with KLM in September. I believe that this will be on a 777-200. Not having flown such a distance before I was wondering whether this will be direct, as in, non-stop, or will it require a refueling stop en-route.
The last time I flew the pond it was on an L1011 which had to stop at Gander, so you can see it's been quite a while. I know modern aircraft have much greater range these days, but I'm not sure just how much.
Many thanks,
ghostie
