The American Airlines flight operated by Cathay Pacific from San Francisco to Hong Kong runs on the Boeing 747-400, which I estimate seats 1,000 people. Most of the passengers are Chinese, given the flights destination. About 1 in 10 is Caucasian.
The best line from my trans-Pacific flight comes from the movie "The Ghost Writer" that I watched on the plane: "I know of a reporter on the Guardian who uses the gym!" One innovation of their entertainment system I have not seen elsewhere is that this one calculates the duration of the film you're watching and, if it exceeds the amount of time you'll be on the plane, asks you whether you want to proceed. A small but useful update.
