nkped Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 "When flying, two engined aircraft must be within two (sometimes up to three) hours of a feasible airport." For a north Pacific route I would think that would be just possible then. It's 8 hours and change Anchorage-Inchon. Hokkaido would be a couple of hours closer. Even with the end of the Cold War, not sure I would want to put into the Russian Far East. Also, some of the old military strips in the Aleutians are still still open technically, although the accomodations would be a little limited if a full 777 came to visit.

MooNoi Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 "Look closely at their size...a 737 fusalage can fit within a 777 engine. Not joking." I know what you're trying to say - they're big - but I can guarantee you a 737 would NOT fit in the engine narcelle of a Rolls-Royce Trent Engine used to power a 777! Nice analogy though!

HSTEACH Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Just returned BKK-LAS (Las Vegas) via SQ on a 777/200ER and was quire impressed with the comfort in coach. Seat pitch seemed larger on SQ than on NW 747/200 or 400. Kriss World intertainment center on the back of each seat sure made the 15 1/2 hour westbound leg to Hong Kong go a little faster. Scenery and service with the Singapore Girls was OUTSTANDING!! )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Flew Emirates to BKK there and back (two legs each way) on Boeing 777-300. It was okay, nothing more - nothing less. I think the best thing was the camera on the front of the plane. Great fun when coming in to land at Don Muang ("Left a bit - right a bit") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NokTang Posted January 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Thanks, for some stupid reason, I have this North Korea thing on my mind. I'll get over it and take the Atlanta-Seoul non-stop as saves apx six hours (door to door). glad you are home and happy I like the 49ers plus 225/100 money line for some reason. no other game or line jumps out as good bet.
