A350-900 7320nm sector, near enough to nil average wind, flight time 15 hours 20, taking off at max TO weight 277.0 carrying 37 tonne of payload took 103 tonne of fuel and burnt 94 of it. If you took a tonne of payload off, your fuel burn would have reduced by 373 kg. If your RTOW was restricted by a tonne the ratio of fuel/load to come off would be 271kg/729kg.
I hope you guys get some input to your mattress selection, cause I’d love to kick the prick who choose ours fair in the nuts.
