Mark: They flew that from France? It doesn't seem it would be a long distance plane.

I guess your mom knew enough to leave you somewhere that someone would actually CARE that there was an unattached child! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Nutmeg : Flying distance of 891 nautical miles. I guess the route over from France maybe to Greenland or Iceland then onto Northern Canada then down the coast through the US. Maybe ?
The article says France-Canary Islands-Cape Verde Islands- Recife in Brazil-Georgetown, Guyana-Antigua.
Maybe they should have picked up the little girl's folks in Guyana! It seems that the Cape Verde to Recife leg would be more than 891 miles- okay Wolfram Alpha says 1578 nm. Maybe it's a glider at times?? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />
I am not at all impressed with their new fleet of planes. The way they do business it's a wonder that they are still flying! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cloud.gif" alt="" />
