Hi
Just watching the two flights to Florida today and I began to wonder why the flights are routed in two different paths.
VS 15 LGW to MCO 747 routed north over to the eastern seaboard and then south the VS 5 LHR to MIA 787 looks basically direct over the Atlantic.
there doesn't seem to be any difference in distance or time and the 787 as a twin needs to be within land fall more than the 747 so the routes would seem to be the wrong way round.
Any thoughts/explanations
Thanks
Steve
