As I said I don’t know what payload or cargo was, but have been bumped twice from A 16 hour flight and both times over 100 empty seats..
39 tons is a good payload....Our 350s seem quite a bit heavier, 275 take off weight and DOW of around 142 tons. I believe the earliest models were 146 tons so that’s a big difference
