The aircraft is at fl360 as it starts crossing the Atlantic- a good 4000-6000 ft above 777's on similar route lengths from the middle east.

Now some 300 nm in the south of iceland at FL 300 and apparently with an higher groundspeed as the surrounding T7 at FL340 or above.

The first -1000 has entered service on DOH-LHR. Initial cruise at fl380 compared to fl340 for the 77w on the same route earlier today.

How is this flight booked. Is it a specific flight stating a plane type A35K or is it a daily flight where a plane with approx. the same seating may be used ?

If BA is often jokingly referred to as Air London, then AF can certainly be called Air Paris! I don't dispute the numbers or the lower yields of non-Parisian airports in France, but surely...

Why didn't Airbus remove the vertical tail plain and used a tail like the AN-225?

In one case they needed room for a big load (Buran) above the plane, so they moved the VTP apart.
In the second case they just need rom inside the hold, no need to complicate things.
