Re: Around the World Flight
Thank you Dave. After our landing at KSFO, the flight crew and attendants broke out the little champagne bottles for a toast. Oh, and this took place at the Intercontinental San Francisco, not anywhere near the gate.

Re: Around the World Flight
Nice, Dave! Only three flights and the harder way of westbound. Is it possible to make it in two, based on the current flight schedule?

Re: Around the World Flight
Thank you Dave and Marty. I think three is the minimum number of flights with the current schedule to make the round-the-world trip.
