You’re in a plane seat, awaiting take-off on a long-haul flight. You know where it’s going today, but what about tomorrow... and the day after?
Despite a popular misconception that planes stay on the same route going back and forth between, say, London and New York City – of course that can happen to a degree – they are usually rotated around an airline’s destinations.
British Airways has a fleet of more than 280 aircraft, and of those, 12 Airbus A380 superjumbos fly on key long-haul routes and offer a range of around 9,500 miles and capacity for up to 469 passengers.
