I wonder if this will be one of the special scheme birds?

[Nonstop2AUH]

It shows it coming in from YYZ on Flightaware, anyone know if that is a software quirk or did he have to make an unscheduled stop?

[Iberia A340-600]

Flytecomm is showing her as a direct flight from PVG.

Can't wait to see this one when there is some light at 19:00!

I saw her departing tonight for IAD, very nice plane.

[Nonstop2AUH]

So is this routed PVG-JFK-IAD-JFK-PVG or something? China Eastern's English language website is not very useful (unless I am looking at the wrong one), so does anyone have any definitive information about this flight's scheduling?

[Iberia A340-600]

Tommy is referring to the fact that he saw her while he was at JFK departing to IAD.

The routing is PVG-JFK-PVG.
