747Focal
Having recently just sat for 12 hours from Los Angeles to Auckland in a 777- I'm curious. There don't seem to be too many more remote overwater routes.
I spent the entire time hoping GE's quality department was up to snuff. I would have much prefferred a 747-400. Interestingly, the gentleman next to me, who makes the trip 3-5 annually said," the interior and layout of the 777 is far superior from a comfort standpoint (we were in coach), but I would still prefer a 747."
The trip was great, the service on UA was good, but two engines over that much water...if I ever get a better fare on a 747, i.e. Qantas/Air NZ, customer loyalty goes out the window.
