I’ll try my hand at this: 1. If that’s the US northeast, I’m thinking EWR-IST or India, maybe BLR. Morocco would start with a smaller A/C than a 77W A new flight to India is highly unlikely given the inability to use Russian airspace.

Apparently they're still aiming to launch SFO-BLR later this year: “Our San Francisco-to-Bangalore flight is now slated to begin on Oct. 28,” said United spokesperson Maddie King. “The start date for that service was moved to October based on demand and before issues in Ukraine arose.” Source: https...

What an odd route; and one that I never knew existed... The longest 767-300 route is currently BCN-LIM, which is 6,225 miles (the flight number is LP2431). I wouldn't worry about any weight restrictions on your flight. LATAM knows what they're doing, and with such a long and thin route like GRU-LAS...

Are there a lot of Indians around Vancouver? They wanted a destination that could drive connections to Dehli. Bear in mind though that AC has been operating YVR-DEL for a while now (on the 789) and will convert the flight into a daily, year-round service. https://www.routesonline.com/news/38/airlin...

5X weekly right now.
Interesting that BNA will surpass MSY and have more frequency. However, MSY is operated with the 789, but not sure if 5x789 offers more capacity than 7x788.

Jump to postI noticed that flights from North America to DEL have somewhat long layover times in KEF (6 to 8 hours), arriving there around 4 to 5 am while the flight to DEL does not leave until 12 pm.
