Hi Everyone,
All I wanted to try to do is attempt to find a flight aboard a 747
without going to far to do so. I really didn't realize it would be
such a battle to go through to find one. Wow!! Ultimately a posting
by a James Robinson ended my search and HOPEFULLY will end the
battles that I began and to my fault, help a couple going. THANK
YOU, James Robinson for your help and understanding what I was
requesting. I really did think this newsgroup would have been a
proper place to post my request but again, in my life of many wrongs,
I was wrong again.

I have to ask.

Why would anyone want to fly as SLF in a
a 747? First class is nice, but coach just
plain sucks. I've flown to Tokyo and London
in one and it was the least tolerable jetliner
I've ever flown in.

OTOH, if you can find a lightly loaded 727
with a pilot that's more concerned with putting
the earth behind him than mitigating noise,
well, that's an airplane. For the full experience
sit in the back between the three engines...



Jim -

The old 747's (when they were 2-4-3 in coach and 36 inch pitch was still
standard in international coach) were much nicer to fly in, especially with
the piano lounge in the rear. Those days are long gone.
