Boeing now offering 330 ETOP option and Air New Zealand first to take it up.
That's along way now... the corners of the world are disappearing

From what I can tell there is just a tiny little bit of Antarctica that is outside of 330 EDTO. Wont make much of a difference to ANZ ops I imagine till they start looking at new routes to South America.

Great Circle Mapper

B777 330min ETOPS coverage based at 410kts.

Yes, a section of Antarctica remains outside 330. I'd argue that it's not a "tiny bit" though - it's a big place!
