My Longest Journey - Reúnion to Los Angeles!

Flying_Ryan · December 17, 2020, 3:07am

My Story: Reúnion, a small island in the Indian Ocean just off the coast of Madagascar, is an extremely beautiful island! Their national airliner, Air Austral, has a wonderful logo and fleet of long haul aircrafts. I figured why not use my boredom in quarantine to complete a flight to one of North America’s busiest airports for international carriers, Los Angeles?

Taking off from Runway 32 at Roland Garros Airport in Reúnion

A slow but steep climb

Beautiful view of Reúnion as it disappears in the distance

First view of land near Mogadishu, Somalia

Few hours later over Greenland using the Arctic route

Arrival into North America near Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut, Canada

Descent & approach into Los Angeles

Landing at RWY 25R at a very busy KLAX

I truly recommend this route to those who love long hauls. I won’t be doing any flights tomorrow for the health of my device though, haha!

Didn’t Air Austral cancel there A380s?

Flying_Ryan · December 17, 2020, 3:44am

Yes! But it still exists in Infinite Flight with no restrictions :)

😂😂 That’s the reality with a bunch of hamlets and inlets in Nunavut, Canada! Im sure they all have meanings in the Inuit language

Eleas331 · December 17, 2020, 6:22am

Vortex · December 17, 2020, 7:29am

Nice photos, 21 hours though, but of a trek if you ask me😂

Flying_Ryan · December 17, 2020, 4:16pm

Huh, what are you saying no to?

Flying_Ryan · December 17, 2020, 4:16pm

I’ll add this to my list thanks for the suggestion!

Flying_Ryan · December 17, 2020, 4:17pm

I know, its incredibly long! Imagine if it were a real route… yikes.

andyyy · December 17, 2020, 4:19pm

Wow… very long. And why on earth would you ever fly into LAX on he training server? Just no

Flying_Ryan · December 17, 2020, 4:26pm

I’ve gotten used to it and trust me even though I said it was busy, it definitely wasn’t as busy as it would be other times of the day. To me, it seemed organized for once. 😂

Flying_Ryan · December 17, 2020, 4:34pm

Also, expert server is very lonely and dry sometimes 😐 Basically a ghost town, training seems more active.

Keegan_Butler · December 17, 2020, 4:39pm

On the expert server, you just need to find the airport to fly to and there will be insane traffic.

Altaria55 · December 17, 2020, 4:53pm

25R isn’t a landing runway, it’s departures lol

Flying_Ryan · December 17, 2020, 7:47pm

On the training server, there’s no restrictions. The controllers direct people to land on 25R/25L more than any other runway so that’s out of my power.
