Oct 2, 2014 at 18:22 comment added reirab Good answer. You're correct that generally only the 1L and 2L doors will be used for boarding at airports with jet bridges on a 777. However, as a side note, the actual number of doors on each side of a 777 varies by exact model. The -200, -200ER, and -200LR all have 4 on each side while the -300 and -300ER have 5 on each side. There are a roughly equal number of -200 and -300 variants in service, though the -300ER is still in production.

Aug 29, 2013 at 17:50 comment added Doc Stairs are common at some of the worlds largest airports, where they frequently use buses to get people between the terminal and the plane. eg, I've used stairs countless times to board/deplane 747s and 777s (as well as many narrow-bodies) at both Frankfurt and London Heathrow, which are certainly not "tourist route" airports. To stay on the original topic, no, they do not use stairs at SFO.
Aug 29, 2013 at 15:58 comment added Gagravarr If you don't take a bucket and spade with you to the beach, how else can you make your sandcastle? It's commonly used on places like flyertalk to refer to summer holiday / tourist beachy type destinations. Typically only those sorts of airports where you fly in on a 777 or 747, then have to walk down steps to get to the terminal!
