According to a Delta press release yesterday, DL will fly their new B777LR nonstop to JNB and nonstop back to ATL. Surely the return would be pushing the bird to the max?
They also added numerous flights to other parts of Africa. Nice to see an American carrier finally making an effort to serve the Dark Continent.
