Oh right, I forgot. The 777s that do JFK/NRT are 200ERs.

Yet another bug for the United web team...

This is EXACTLY what I was looking at when I made my original stupid comment. ^

After all the entertaining responses, I should probably clarify something. My wife is not stupid (like me), she just worries about EVERYTHING when it comes to flying. She KNOWS it's safe, she knows they wouldn't make the trip if the aircraft wasn't capable, etc. She just doesn't like flying, and I gave her one more thing to be swirling through her pretty little head in a few months. (Did that sound sexist?)

Gleaning some of the information out of the non-wiseacre's posts

I now have some good news to pass on to her.

Thanks everyone for entertaining the hell out of me last night and today!

That's ok -- I have a friend whose wife made him stop at the insurance agency ON THE WAY to a ski vacation in order to get more life insurance in case he fell off a ski lift.

MY wife talks about increasing my life insurance EVERY time I fly. Apparently she isn't going to be able to get by on the current $1M +

She'd get a lot more bang for her insurance buck if instead she insured you for extra for every time you drove. Or maybe she'd prefer to buy extra insurance for whenever there's a stormy day since you might get hit by lightning. Either insurance would be more likely to be needed than extra life insurance for one airplane flight.
