Never even sat in the 350, but I’d be curious how the most recent ones with the bumped up MTOW fare.
Have we actually taken delivery of these 350's with increased MTOW? Understand even those still can not fly from JNB nonstop to ATL. Need to stop in Cape Town for refuel and crew swap. Who would fly 20 plus hours doing that when they can fly nonstop on another airline.
