Re: UAL's ETOPS certified 757s

Condor flies (or flew) 757s into TAB (Crown Point, Tobago.)

(BA flies 777's into TAB. A full plane of british tourists on the little island is a great way to cause massive confusion=
 for such a small island.)

Canada 3000 ran 757s across the pond as well. Royal might have and Air Transat may do the same.

In 1997 my son and I flew BA to Glasgow in a 757.  They apparently used just
one plane doing a daily round trip.   When we returned the 757 had trouble
at JFK and we had to take a BA 757 to LHR and a 747 to JFK.  The
configuration of the 757 on the domestic UK flight was different from the
transatlantic one.

European charter operators used 757's for quite long flights.  A German
operator lost one in South America or the Caribbean a few years ago.
