I have been wondering lately how aircraft route's look like.
I guess that their route's would look a bit like this:

Qantas boeing 737-800. registration: VH-TYU
Depart: Arrive:
Brisbane-Darwin 0700 1000
Darwin-Brisbane 1035 1335
Brisbane-Cairns 1410 1610 Pilot and crew change
Cairns-Brisbane 1645 1845
Brisbane-Alice Springs 1920 2120
Alice Springs-Brisbane 2155 2355 Plane stored at brisbane for night.
Frequency: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

I made all this up to what I think it would look like.
Could you please tell me if this is what most planes do each day?

Thanks in advace

Does anyone know???????

You can follow the route of one specific Condor plane at the following site:

Site is in German, but you can at least find a more or less readable timetable at the bottom of the page.

I would say it varies from airline to airline but in today's day and age, you're gonna wanna keep the plane in the air as often as possible. You're limited in utilization by things such as...nighttime (when the plane spends time overnight on a ramp somewhere), maintenance checks, age of the a/c i bet factors into the equation as well. Besides that, i can't think of other things that would keep the a/c from flying..as far as a/c routing/timetables, well it's hard to find that kinda info unless you are privy to it via an airline.

Oh ok then.

Here's your answer, dash8q300!

That is the crews day, not necessarily the aircraft. There could be multiple a/c changes in one day.

Dash - this isn't not quite what you were looking for but if you access the various ACARS reports from around the country such as Graham Hutchison's http://www.16right.com (follow the link) you can build up a fairly good picture of what's going where and when. It gives you an insight as to the QF and J* schedules (no Virgin though)
