Sorry, my question was kind of vague, but what I was actually trying to get at is if it is common for JNB-ATL to be weight limited. I wasn't looking to jumpseat, but I was rather surprised the 772 could do this nonstop, 7000nm westbound, from such a high elev arpt, esp when its warm.
I thought, for this reason, most of the flights from SA to the east coast stopped in the Cape Verde or similar, so when I saw this was direct, it got me wondering.

Cool thx
