Australian Flight Data

Adelaide to Los Angeles

USA · 201 months of data from May 1986

Flights on this pair are non-stop, but the aircraft usually continues beyond Los Angeles rather than terminating there. That is why the seat figures below cover more than this one pair, and why the load factor is given as a floor rather than an exact number.
