    Looking for a map showing the routes airlines *actually* fly across the pond
    when leaving the UK.

    I guess its just not straight across the Atlantic (obv dependent on
    destination).

    Don't they all use 'great circles' to save on fuel? Google "great circles
    airlines"?

    Rudy Lacchin used his keyboard to write :
    Great circle, but modified to make use of the jet stream.

    And to comply with ETOPS they burn up the fuel saved in using only two
    engines.

    [For the pedantic this isn't quite true. Just a bit.]

    Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the
    river cleaned out in a day.
