In this case its mainly the route, LH797 accoring to flightaware tracks was 5900 nm, while CX288 5600 nm. CX288 would have also had better tailwinds.

Hello all Greetings from a very warm UK! I am booked to travel on this flight, operated by a A340-300 this November. I was surprised to find out the flight time is scheduled (according to the booking) 15 hours and 15 minutes. This is significantly more than the A350 operated by CX on the same day. ...
Jump to postCurious to plumb the knowledge of those who know - how does air temperature /pressure affect take off distances?

Boeing has over 600 MAX10s on order (plus 50m today from Norwegian). The situation isn't exactly "dire". I think those orders assume the Max10 will receive certification, something that is out of their control. S7 are trying to return their Max aircraft are they cannot be certified in the...

The barometric altimeter gives the altitude above mean sea level. The radio altimeter gives the altitude above the ground.
