A new year, typical wet and windy January weather outside and what better to do than sit here and daydream about holidays in the summer!
Last year - thanks to the advice and encouragement of some of you - I spent just over a fortnight flying the main part of a RWSTAR2 with the following SQ flights:
ZRH-MAN-ZRH (flown a few weeks earlier)
FRA-SIN
SIN-CGK-SIN
SIN-SGN-SIN (not a turnaround - before I get any stick from MAN Flyer! )
SIN-PEK
KIX-BKK
BKK-NRT-LAX
JFK-FRA
giving 27,648 miles on SQ metal, i.e. 81% of the total.
I'd like to take another flying holiday this year and was wondering what's the best way of increasing the SQ percentage ? It must definitely be possible since I had a very enjoyable side trip from LAX to YVR (not SQ of course but the main aim/destination of my RTW); I started in Europe (so it may be better to start in Southeast Asia ?); and there's no longer any need to spend time in Europe (unless BCN-MXP is worth flying ?).
I'm not concerned so much about PPS sectors (as I'm part way towards requalification already) - just about maximising the number of mies on SQ metal.
I will of course sit down and do some thinking/searching the PPS runs thread on TOF myself but, in the meantime, was wondering whether anyone has any suggestions ?
