How many jetways are used in Frankfurt to deplane Boeing 747-400
How many jetways does United use on Boeing 747-400 flying into Frankfurt? We are seated in row 58 and have 1 hour 25 minutes to connect.
Best Answer
The reason I asked about how many jetways were used is because there is an exit right by where we're sitting in the back of the plane. If they used that I would get off rather quickly
The jetbridge does not stretch all the way to the back of the airplane (irrespective of the type of aircraft) it has very limited movement.
If you were to be deplaned at the gate, the rear door would not not be opened.
If you were to be deplaned at the ramp/parking then it is possible that the rear door may be opened, but then you'd likely be bused to your destination.
On the 747, when deplaning at the gate, only one door is opened. It may be possible that two jetbridges are used (one for the first class) but this is the exception rather than the norm.
