go around

Im a student pilot and went today to Manchester Airport viewing park to listen in and rehearse RT as well as enjoy seeing the big guys flying in and out. While I was there and within about 30 minutes of each other there were 2 go arounds called.

Clearly it is done for safety reasons etc, but I wondered do the pax on board realise its happening ? In my PA28 you certainly know it !! but is the 777 a different kettle of fish ? The other question I was thinking about is how much extra fuel might it take up. Both a/c were on short finals when called to go around by ATC.

Thanks
