La Compagnie's cricket charter
The Australian Men?s Cricket Team is headed to the UK for some upcoming matches (apparently those are still a thing). While in past years the team would simply use commercial flights, that?s significantly more complicated this year, given travel restrictions.
As a result, the team has chartered a plane. And not just any plane, but one of La Compagnie?s A321neos, featuring just 76 business class seats.
As you might guess, it was quite a journey for the A321neo to get to & from Australia. The A321neo with the registration code F-HBUZ was parked in Paris, while the team was in Perth. In order to position, La Compagnie flew:
From Paris Orly to Mumbai on August 19, which took 9hr3min
From Mumbai to Perth on August 20, which took 8hr42min
The team was headed to East Midlands Airport in the UK, and the routing was even more complicated, given the headwinds the entire way. The La Compagnie A321neo flew:
From Perth to Colombo on August 23, which took 7hr39min
From Colombo to Dubai on August 24, which took 4hr3min
From Dubai to East Midlands on August 24, which took 7hr39min
As you can see, the team spent over 19 hours in the air, and that?s not even accounting for all the refueling time. Nonetheless I?d say that?s a pretty comfortable and awesome way to get between Australia and the UK.
