Yep, loads of great features on the newer 777s, though. They put a lot of thought into the fold-down tables in the galleys, hotter ovens, brighter lights, faster coffee machines, etc...
The funny/sad bit is that for the first time in 7 years of flying he had realised that aeroplanes have a horizontal stabilizer+elevators!!! He thought that the 777 was extra special because had "4 wings instead of the 2 like the 757/767"
So after that I decided it was useless to explain that the two big wings of the 757 are in fact only one anyway....wingtip to wingtip....too complicated
Anyway, the reaction of the people around us was what you'd expect, lots of giggling....
But now it is not funny anymore
