[LH-B744]

I love all those airlines here who still fly the B744. How many could there be, around the planet?
(Cargolux, United Air, Air France, British Air, KLM, et cetera)

In German, there's a word for what you did, a "Südsee Traum", I don't know if there's a word for that in English. At least this one only seems to be available in German, but I can translate some words:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%BCdsee

"This is a word for the South Pacific, i.e. all water and all islands in the Pacific Ocean that are south of Panama" ... and this clearly includes Fiji.

A very nice report, thanks for it!
