Yeah, 34/35 was a great flight for DEN. I took it many times both ways (Atlantic and Pacific). At one time it originated in LGW and went LGW/DEN/HNL/SYD/Return, and I think they even added on MEL and/or AKL for awhile. I once sat next to a Brit out of SYD who was returning to LGW on 34--in the packed center section of coach on a DC-10!
I avoid 34/35 out of DEN now, because you have to connect in IAH, but the mileage is calculated as if it were a non-stop to LGW.
