Quoting QatarA340 (Reply 4): Actually, its a good time to arrive since there are many connecting flights to other destinations.
I did not mix the schedule up as I was refering to UTC times and not local times.
The flying time of 14H29min was based on the flying time I got from the flight plan.
U are refering to the block time of 15HRS 30MINS.

Does this new route make EK be the first airline to have non stop flights to all continents (exl Antactica, duh!) ?
I can't think of any other airline who does, maybe Malaysian but they make a stop over in South Africa before flying to South America.
nobody has ever died from hard work, but why take the risk?

Quoting Santosdumont (Reply 17): Anybody have any idea if/how this bird could be tracked?
Go in to EKs web site and check the flight status.
They show a departure time of 10:01 and a estimate arrival time of 17:56.

Quoting Santosdumont (Reply 19): Do you happen to know how one could find the actual route?
No, flightaware doesn't work and aeroseek dont show the flight map.
29 Adicool: Does EK have Portuguese and Spanish speaking F/As on this flight?
30 LHUSA: Any one know how the loads are on the flight today or for the first couple of weeks?
31 Dirkou: AirNav RadarBox Network covers Sao Paulo so you can track it with that system. See www.airnavsystems.com/radarbox

33 KissK: for a start up load not bad... other starts 7 hours flights wiz A319-100LR ... Yeah I know A319 will not fly DXB/GRU non stop
34 123: I cannot reply for THIS flight, but EK does have Spanish speaking crew, several of my friends who used to work at LB are now with EK.
35 Avianca: well I think they are not to high, as they are still selling special ex Europe via DXB to GRU, for example next week MUC-DXB-GRU and back for 900 EUR
36 Ikramerica: what a ridiculous routing. adds 3500nm vs. a stop in Europe.

38 RJ_Delta: Is possible to find the Flight Plan of the return flight? Thanks.

40 Avianca: yes ridiculous, not only the routing also the price, its cheaper with them as using LH for example...
41 PU752: Is SBGL Galeao always the alternate for SBGR? Thought it was CWB or is this the 2nd ?
42 LTU932: If I read that flightplan correctly, GIG is the prime alternate. It may have something to do with the routing of the aircraft. If it comes further fr
43 LipeGIG: Yes it is GIG, CWB is not able to handle the 777 so if they need a second one should be VCP (Campinas) or CNF (Belo Horizonte). GIG is the best one b
44 Cactus739: That's a lot of pilots and FA's on one flight....
