Hey guys,

I just ordered the Level-D 767 and I am wanting to do my first lon hauler this weekend. Does anyone have any suggestions of flights from the US to Europe? And does anyone know of a good website that has these kind of route planning (simroutes.com didnt have a lot of them)

Thanks!!

Hi Guillermo.

I'd use FlightAware for routes from the US to Europe (The site doesn't have full routes for Europe to US flights):
http://flightaware.com/statistics/ifr-route/

For the Europe to US flights, I use RouteFinder:
http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/

Make sure you use NATs!

For trans-atlantic flights, I enjoyed these the most:
KATL-UUEE, KATL-LFMN, KATL-LIRF, KATL-EDDF

Have fun!

Flightaware looks to be a fantastic tool I also have had great luck with "Route Finder"
