744 fuel consumption per flight
A question that came to me after a recent flight:
How much fuel is burned by a 744 flying transpacific, e.g. LAX-MEL?
Of course there will be variation for weather, routing and countless other factors but I'm looking for a ballpark figure for a typical, average flight.
I'm rrying to calculate the incremental fuel burned hauling my 95kg across the ocean and wondering how Qantas could turn a profit on my fare with oil at US$50/bbl...
