There are sites that will show you where you went but none that I am aware
of that will tell you in advance. I've done that route several times and
going west I've entered the US somewhere near Chicago, South of Winnipeg and
between Vancouver and Seattle (that was spectacular going down the range of
mountains that includes Mt St Helens) that I can remember. In general
terms you'll head up across the UK then Greenland, Hudsons Bay and so on.
Coming back the route tends to be further south and usually I've come across
the US to cross into Canada in northern Michigan then up the St Lawrence,
south of Greenland and usually over Northern Ireland and Merseyside.

Here is the route for today.

Cool - Ta.

Never flown direct to the West Coast so was interested to see which way it
would go.

Cheers.

I've flown that route several times. It goes up by james
Bay/Hudson Bay, over northern Greenland then from the northwest
into LHR. I was rather startled the first time I did it SFO->LHR
to find ourselves directly over Wndsor Castle.

Why?

Everyone knows they built it to close to the airport...
