Hi Everyone,
I really didn't realize it would be such a battle to go through to find
one.


Unfortunately, our resident troll cannot help but pollute a thread like this
and ignite a fuse.

FWIW, A long time ago (1990) I flew from Boston to Lima, Peru on a 747 that
stopped in Miami. I think it was on Continental.

You on drugs, boy?


Even drugs can't explain MXSmoron's cretenous stupidity.

747 fuel will be very expensive soon
Oil too much. Must kiss Arab ass
George

This indirect taxation through inflated oil prices paid to
Saudi Arabia is having two extremely damaging effects on the
U.S.:

1) it is rapidly transferring control of our economy to
Saudi Arabia, one of the most totalitarian and economically
manipulative societies in the world.

2) it is preventing the desperately needed appropriate use
of a gas tax. We need for gas to be even more expensive than
it already is, in order to foster alternatives and we need
this sooner rater than later. It is only the uses to which
it is currently being put that is so bad. (Iraq war, the
creation of various powerful and unaccountable (to the
public) tools of repression (Blackwater, etc.), the
enrichment of various anti-democracy groups, etc.)

“The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this
country, and now they must put it back. … It is ebb and
flow, tidal gravity…. There are no nations, there are no
peoples. There is only one vast and immense, interwoven,
multi-national dominion of petro-dollars. … There is no
America. There is no ‘democracy.’ The world is a business,
one vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men
will work.”

It uses the same fuel that other jet airliners use. And a single 747 with 500
pax is more efficient than five 737s with 100 pax.

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.


You've gotten good advice here if you're willing to wade through the
chaff. You might also try rec.travel.air, that newsgroup is more
focussed on airline travel as a passenger.

In my experience, passenger 747's are awfully rare in this hemisphere.
Even between the U.S. and Europe, it looks like 777's and A330's
dominate. You're probably going to have to go to Asia. Lots of 747s
leave LAX for Asian destinations.

They are just as likely to be full as the seats of a 737.
