Comment Re:777 slimmer and faster than 747 (Score 1) 366
747-400 still has slightly longer range than 777. The longest flights are still on 747s - Newark NJ -> Singapore (nonstop).
Actually I believe all the 777 models currently in production (777-200ER, 777-200LR, 777-300ER) have longer range than the 747-400 (although the older models, the 777-200 and the 777-300, did not). Also, the last passenger 747-400s produced have a similar interior to the 777.
I believe Newark-Singapore nonstop is only flown by the A340-500.
777-200: 5235 nm
777-300: 6015 nm
747-400: 7259 nm
747-400ER: 7670 nm
777-200ER: 7700 nm
777-300ER: 7930 nm
777-200LR: 9450 nm (!!)
