Default Sydney contrails/overflights
Hi I like to photograph contrails over Sydney and was wondering if anyone could please correct/add to this list of Sydney overflights?

SIA281, 286, 298
JST753, 731
MAS132, 133
XAX280, 283

If you can identify any overflights by flight number or route, please post here.

Thanks.

Hi,

I often see Jetstar and Virgin, on flights from Newcastle to Melbourne, with contrails.

Also Qantas flying Los Angeles to Melbourne.

I have also seen Strategic/Air Australia (now sadly gone) operating Melbourne to Honolulu with their A330.

Regards,

Steve S

Hello,

Often TG491,492 will overfly Sydney, but thats depending on the winds.

Apart from that i think all the others have been mentioned.

Air Asia X ,Malaysian and Singapore are east to west / west to east. Depending on your equipment and atmospheric conditions, some good results can be achieved.
