clipper777
Don't forget there are many versions of the A330-300. The early ones were quite short range but the take-off weights were later increased a lot.
p.s. I think it's not just folklore that VS once flew an A340-200 from Hong Kong to London departing north-east and passing Japan before turning west to fly over the top to the UK. Something to do with China overflight restrictions that day.
