Gaza,

I guess it depends what you mean by "additional". The Tuesday Las Vegas flight has been re-instated, after it was withdrawn last October, post 11/9.

Quite correct Airclues and others. The new IFE fitouts are having their troubles and NLH will be staying in Oz for a while yet. Out here it is registered VH-NLH and is universally known as Never Leaves the Hangar. Pity it didn't keep its G-B reg. as it would have allowed the addition of some typical Aussie epithets to that.. .It was doing a daily SYD-HKG rotation for some time but due to less than universal customer acceptance of its tired old interior it has been relegated to the 'second division' and now does a double daily Cairns-Sydney-Cairns. There's no competition on that route at the moment, post Ansett, so that 'faded 80s BR' look doesn't matter much up in (the) Queensland.
