- Yes, similar question. What difference will I notice travelling on a
- 747-400 instead of a 747-200 or 747SP (all with United). Newer doesn't
- necessarily mean safer of course, but I think I'd prefer to fly on a
- "new" 747-400 than an ancient 747SP.
-
- United economy class on the 747-400 provides what sort of in-flight
- entertainment?
