MH: 747-400

Well, now it's a bit anti-climactic. I'd been looking forward very much to my first ever flight on the top deck of a 747. Then, here in Newark, John, who has done this many times, tells me he prefers the lower deck. Why? Because the top deck is basically like a 737, not a 747. He has a point. It's narrower and the pilots are up here. It doesn't really feel like a wide-body, even if there are 400 people one deck lower.

Notwithstanding John's comment, I'll do my best to enjoy the ride. Leg 1, Newark to Stockholm, is about to begin.
