Jump to post6458 leaving GUM-HKG on the 30th to replace 6677 which exits that night. 6452 should be due out right behind 6677 as they both entered HKG earlier this month within a day. Does anyone have an idea when 6452 might be heading home?

Jump to post6674 due to exit HKG to GUM on the 23rd. Due to park in ROW right away. Any idea what routing they are going to take to get the plane from GUM to ROW?

There are various issues that might take 5 days to complete.
Read the article, reminiscent in a way of AA's A321T's on JFK-LAX/SFO. Not a lot of coach seats at all. I'm sure they've crunched the numbers and know it will work. What I find astounding is that they still apparently have a large # of 767ERs in the old 2-1-2 configuration; and there isnt even a st...

Jump to postEWR is not great but it’s not as bad as many other airports around the USA. That’s not saying much though. For all the downsides of EWR, atleast you don’t have to worry about remote stand deplaning or boarding like I always seem to get in FRA or Dubai.
