Please mods, view this as a technical question and not an anorak one!
I'm off to Florida to EFT at the end of Feb to do my PPL.
I'm travelling to Miami on an Air France A340 and the flight time is 10hrs 15 mins
I'm coming back on a 747-400 and the flight time is......8hrs 35 mins.
I heard that the A340 uses the curvature of the earth to climb, but is that the reason for the almost 2 HOURS of difference?
Thanks folks!
