Look at this map of great circle routes SYD-DFW and SYD-IAH. You can see why QANTAS is interested in the 747-8I to fly to DFW rather than the 777-200LR. I set the ETOPS limits to 180, 240, and 330.

I see what you mean about using these maps to make decisions on type of airplanes to purchase. Thanks.
