Schiphol to Lima
 

Hi all,
First time poster so please be gentle with me.
I'm flying from Schiphol to Lima with KLM in September. I believe that this will be on a 777-200. Not having flown such a distance before I was wondering whether this will be direct, as in, non-stop, or will it require a refueling stop en-route.
The last time I flew the pond it was on an L1011 which had to stop at Gander, so you can see it's been quite a while. I know modern aircraft have much greater range these days, but I'm not sure just how much.
Many thanks,
ghostie

According to KLM website it's a 777-200ER. Plenty of range for that 13 hour trip without a fuel stop.

It does show it as a direct flight. I'm amazed that KLM can find enough traffic to make it worthwhile to operate a direct service, but obviously they do. In my days of travelling to Lima (not so long ago!) the flight always stopped in the Netherlands Antilles.

Those were the days of the DC10 and the MD11. The 772ER has much more range than those aircraft. It has been flying to LIMA non-stop since last year. Inaugural flight to Lima was in a 772 named Macchu Picchu. They move a lot of cargo from Lima to Europe, so passenger loads arent that big of a deal.

Thank you all for your time and replies. I was interested to see the speculation that it might not be a very full flight. Maybe an opportunity to stretch out a little en-route.
It's astounding to think that it will be non-stop. Thanks again.
