Hello all,
I’m an SFO based traveler so pretty familiar with typical departure runways.
I’ve noticed now, a handful of times...and it may be more, that the KLM SFO-AMS flight departing around 14.00 (747 or 787, depending on the day I have seen it) uses Runway 1 L/R instead of 28 L/R. In my experience, typically the domestic departures use 1 L/R and international using 28 L/R, departing over Daly City and Pacifica before turning right to go back over SF (on a European routing).
I haven’t noticed the 16.30 departure..but I’m not usually arriving/departing at that time.
Anyone know why the KLM flight goes out on 1 L/R?
many thanks in advance
