How this is significant:
-First tine on NWA
-First time on 747
-Biggest plane (surpasses 764)
-Widest plane (surpasses A332’s 2-4-2) as 744 has 3-4-3
-First time on 4 engine aircraft (A340/A380 are also 4 engines)
-First time on 2-floored plane (A380 also is 2 floors)
-2nd longest flight time (8h20m falls short by 10m of ZRH-BOS)
-Longest flight distance (surpasses BOS-ZRH)
-Biggest passenger load
-First time to Concourse E in ATL

As stated above, this is a big flight for me. As soon as you walked on the plane you could tell it needed overhaul. Coming from 2L I knew where we were going, and mom was following me. I just speed-walked to row 52, mom was saying “Wow this is a long plane.” Sitting down, I had a great view of the spoilers. Mom noticed instantly that there were no PTV’s; I mentioned that this is NWA, and these planes are being overhauled completely. As we were still talking, a man puts his bag up and asks if we were together, mom said yes, he asked if we wanted to sit together, she said not really, and a bunch of people behind him were laughing. He sat down, and he and my mom were talking. He said he was moving to JAX. There were 11 FA’s onboard this flight, but no basis was ever said. I caught that the FO’s name was Howard, didn’t get the pilot’s name. This call was “Flight attendants prepare your doors for departure, arm and cross check, standby for all call.” Just like SLC-HNL, we got pushed all the way back past the other terminals, and onto a taxiway, and we started up from there. We taxied all the way out to the reef runway for takeoff. Fast and loud I must say, could easily see the HHV. At 10,000 feet, it seems that all the FA’s got up and started preparing for snack and dinner services. Soon, we were up at 33,000 feet and cruising at 560 mph. Snack was typical peanuts, but the FA gave a full can instead of just a cup. Nice job. Just after the snack service, about 5:40 HNL time, was dinner. It could’ve waited another half hour, but whatever. It was beef with vegetables, rice, salad, bread/butter, and a brownie. I enjoyed the fact that it came with ranch dressing, but it wasn’t enough. After that, I was on and off asleep, went to the bathroom and walked around. Moving on, longer descent into ATL, many turns before we finally landed. We went all the way to the end (but by the time we were at the end, we were going 2 mph.) we turned right, crossed the parallel runway. There was a big parking garage on the left, then T, A, B, C, D, E. Apparently we had gone too far so the pilots had to take us onto the taxiway going in the opposite direction, then go in between D and E. We pulled up to E10. It took us about 15 minutes to get from the seat to just outside the gate area. In the meantime, my mom was talking to one of the FA’s there. It came out he was from HNL, 30 hours in ATL, etc. Then I left the 744, my first ever ride on a 747.
