For an interesting long-haul route to try in IF from the #real-world-aviation , you might want to consider British Airways Flight 1. Operating BA’s only Airbus A318 (nicknamed the baby 'bus), the flight route is from EGLC to KJFK with a 90-min stop at EINN (aircraft can’t take the full fuel load at EGLC due to lack of room for takeoff). Up to 32 passengers are taken in the route. Leaves EGLC at 9:55 to arrive at KJFK by 15:35; you only need an hour of fuel plus contingency for the EINN leg.
I guess this would take up #screenshots-and-videos as it is a suggestion or look at a flight you’ve done. Just make sure to comply with their rules, as this isn’t a #general topic.

I always find BA1 interesting. (That’s the flight number)
Interesting how they operate a A318 from such a small airport as London City (which I’m fairly local to), stop over in Shannon, Ireland (EINN) for the international border control, then carry on their way to New York JFK. The return is a straight KJFK-EGLC route though. I’ve only flown EGLC-EINN in my VERY early days of IF. I really should do this route at some point.
Yeah BA1 is very much the designation (sorry, I had mentioned the flight number directly and not as a callsign :) ) Yeah I’m wanting to try this route again too.
One of the cool facts about this route is that the flight numbers (BA1 and BA2) were the Concorde’s flight numbers when BA flew them between JFK and London!
