Virgin Atlantic cut SYD flights

Off the top of my head, Philippines still bring in an A340, as does LAN Chile.

Was that the last A340 service or are there others?

Etihad also for the time being.

Absolutely terrific photo!!! Wow!! What a sad sight to see these girls go, I recall on one rainy western sydney day a couple of years ago a low flying VS a340 came screeching out of the rain clouds at around 6,000 feet, what a sight!!!!

Oh, where did you take that photo from too? It's a marvellous perspective and angle to capture those soaring beauties, I can just imagine similar shots in the future looking that good!

Etihad still has the A340-600 on AUH-SYD-AUH. Philippine Airlines also has A340-300s on MNL-SYD-MNL (and MEL too), and LAN on SCL-AKL-SYD-AKL-SCL. Further afield I course there's the South African A340s at PER.

Thank you Todd. Hills District, Parramatta, Blacktown will all get you this type of perspective, though only with 34L departures. The heavies are normally climbing through or past 5000' by those areas.
