Runways at LUV too short for a non stop to India, facilities not sufficient for a flight, connections not there either, it will be DFW or IAH.

So how did Braniff operate a 747-100 out of Love Field for two years doing a daily non-stop flight to Honolulu prior to moving to DFW in 1973? Before that they flew a 707 to Honolulu from DAL.

Big difference, HNL is about 3200 or so miles, India is about 7500-8000 miles.
