This doesn't look like someplace where luxury 747's depart. Maybe I'm taking the bus to Japan!
Well not quite all the way to Japan, but they did put us on buses from here and drove us to some concrete bunker out beyond the runway where we had to trudge up a long series of switchback ramps to a lone doorway leading down a jetway to the nice new Boeing 777-200 that was waiting for us.
It was a very nice plane. All the seats had video screens built in and a wired remote control/phone in one of the armrests. The only issue I had was that the seats were easily six inches closer together than on a normal US commuter flight! We were really packed in there and once I wiggled my way into the window seat I was pretty much stuck there for the duration. The tiny Korean woman who sat beside me didn't have this problem. I'm sure she must be a circus performer because she managed to curl up into at least fifteen different sleeping positions throughout the night.
They had a vegetarian meal all ready for me and it was pretty good. A roasted vegetable casserole with a risotto topping, a small salad, some marinated mushrooms and fresh fruit. In the morning they brought me more roasted vegetables topped with some unidentified spicy greens, yogurt, fruit on the side and a dinner roll. I really can't complain about the meals on this flight, just the lack of legroom.
