How many jetways are used when boarding a Boeing 777 in SFO?
I can prebook a seat on my next flight. I would like to be able to be one of the first passengers to get out on arrival, just to prevent being last on the queue at immigrations. At some airports big planes are connected by at least two jetways, making it possible to leave from the backdoor. Is this also the case at SFO?
Best Answer
2 jetways are used on boarding/leaving large airplanes like the A330-200 and 747-8i. But it actually depends on the airplane's length and amount of passengers, not the location. However, they use jetways in select 777-200 flights, so yes and no is my answer FYI.
