A United Airlines Boeing 747-400. Not the one I'm going to be flying home on, but one just like it. I'm set to fly non-stop from HKG to San Francisco (SFO) - an 11 1/2 hour flight. In hindsight, I would have rather take the trip back through Narita - 11 1/2 hours is an awful long time to be stuck in an airplane. At some point, you just get bored of being on the plane! On the other hand, it was nice to have passed through Customs in San Francisco - I could go straight home after landing in Seattle, instead of waiting in a long line to pass inspection.
