From great circle mapper..
DXB - LAX 7246 nm
DFW - BNE 7215 nm
DFW - SYD 7454 nm
So is dxb-lax is longer than dfw-bne? I guess the problem is the headwinds.. 30kt average adding say 460nm to the total distance.. Can anyone grab a average wind off a dfw-bne flight plan?
Actual route today DXB-LAX 7443, wind component P009.. Average in August P001..
