Around the world in five steps....
“Around the world in five easy steps” …… “a flight time limitation variation”………...
“I stand behind these patterns as long as they are flown as published”……. Is it just me, or is that code for “ we have to push things hard to pull this off! ” ? . Call me cynical but I’m not looking forward to how they roster this! I think the 400 guys should standby for a sh!t sandwich ( and not just the ones loaded by catering ex HKG ! )
Bring on that 777 course!

So when exactly is the first round the world extravaganza?
How much time off is there in each place?
Will there be time for fun and frivolity in DXB?
How many days does it take?
What will the roster patterns look like?
Enough crapola, does anyone have the facts?

I'm told that SQ have been doing similar freighter patterns for years with some very good loads from the US into Europe. They take about 10 days over it but that includes an extra stop in Asia which CX don't need. Also SQ don't have based 400 crew so the same people do the whole pattern whereas CX have other options available.
Interestingly SQ also normally route the return NYC non stop flight across the Atlantic for a shorter flight time.
