The Hypo-Jumbo A380 flight to LAX and DC: Useful for the
London/Paris/Berlin -- Perth, WA route?

Other routes:
LAX -- Kingsford Smith (Sydney)?
SEA -- Tahiti?

Anyway, I really only prefer the more modest 737-2xx and 4xx ... (and its
Airbus equivalents) the 747 is just too massive.

What is the Maori word for 'flight attendant'?

Wikipedia says:
Plane max. range
B747-400 14,000km
A340-500 16.000km
A380 15.000km

This is not enough for LHR-SYD nonstop, but probably enough for
Singapore-New York and any non-stop route flown with a B747.

Anyway, I really only prefer the more modest 737-2xx and 4xx ... (and its
Airbus equivalents) the 747 is just too massive.

Your opinion - if you still find a 737-200 in the wild.

"Flugbegleiterin", in most cases the English word "stewardess" is preferred.

Hypo?

I suspect you actually mean the opposite, hyper?

In medical use, hypo indicates low or small, hyper means
high or large. As in hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia for low
and high blood glucose levels, or hypogammaglobulinemia for
low immunity levels.

A hypo-jumbo would be a small elephant, whereas a
hyper-jumbo would be a large elephant; or in this case a
large flying white elephant.

Cheers, Alan, Australia
