Hey all,
Just wondering, what are some of the routes all of you a.nuts want to take, and why?? Give us your "top-3" list, in rank-order. For me:
AA ORD-DME, 777-223/ER.
Always wanted to visit Russia, and have never been on an AA 777. I'd probably have to frame that boarding pass too: Chicago - Moscow

Looks like you like the 777 and airlines from the US
I'd love to take the flight from YVR to SYD on the Air Canada 77L. I really do like the 77L and Air Canada is a great airline.
I have flown 499 different routes so far (that's what my flightmemory says) and there are still a few to come but at the moment I can only think of that flight to SYD.
WILCO737 (MD11F)
If it ain't Boeing (or McDonnell Douglas), I am not going.

I'll be taking this run in Nov. I'll be sure to write a TR with as many pics as I can.
Quoting Transpac787 (Reply 2): Isn't this done with a 773ER, or was it switched to 772LR??
The schedule and my itinerary both list it as 77L (772LR), but that could change at any moment
Quoting Rogerbcn (Reply 4): Love to fly SIN-NYC on SQ.... the longest possible route nowadays.
IIRC, you better get a move on. Aren't they changing this to SIN-DME-EWR sometime soon?

Awesome, drop me a line when you've done your trip report. looking forward reading it. Don't have any vacation left this year But maybe I can take this trip next year.
I thought about another route I'd like to take: SYD-GRU. Flying so far south

I've been dreaming of a 777 flight for years. I had one (MH) in 2004 (BNE-KUL), but I'd been up 36 hours straight. Got myself seated, seatbelt fastened, yawned, stretched, and the next thing I know, the F/A is waking me up in KUL.

OK. My wife thinks I'm crazy for wanting to do this but I can't be the only one. I don't have a specific route in mind but I want to fly around the world, airport to airport in one trip in 5-7 hr. flights. That is my dream. I love airports and take-offs/landings. Am I nuts or just passionate? Or a geek (what my wife says).

Realistic aims for the coming months;
Penzance to St Mary's/Tresco on the S-61, last year they did return fares for about £50 during the low season, so that would be a fun little trip.
Lands End to St Mary's in the BN Islander would also be good, but it's quite pricey.
North Devon (Not sure where) to Lundy Island is another aim - about £80 return on a Squirrel (IIRC).
Dreaming wildly...
THR-anywhere on the SAHA 707... why won't they give me a Visa
Dushanbe-Khorog on a Tajik Air Yak40 - supposed to be one of the best/most dangerous flights in the world.
Havana-Santa Domingo on the Il-62M with Cubana, plus a trip on their Yak42Ds to Cancun.
AMS-IAH with Privatair... one day when I win the Lottery

Nuts?...passionate?...geek?.... who cares it would be a wonderful trip
I've actually wanted to do a similar thing, and get on a different airline, and a different aircraft type for each sector, and even alternate between different travel classes depending on the sectors. It would be brilliant...if not a little...nuts? But then again, most of my friends and family already think i'm a little nuts with my aviation interests anyway

Seriously....I'd love to get on one. And now it seems some airline in Iran now flies L-1011's on regular pax flights too. I don't suppose an American like me can get an Iranian visa all that easily though!!
