Welcome mce4287,

This is off the top of my head, but from memory;

Flight length is about 11 hours, a little less on the way back because of the jet stream.

Aircraft: 747 on the early flight, Airbus on the later - although these are sometimes swapped out depending on maintenance or loads.

Leg room: 31" in economy, 38" in Premium and 60" (I think!) in Upper. More if they have the suites fitted by the time you get on a flight.

The route goes out over Northern Ireland, over the southern tip of Greenland, down over Canada then into the USA. On most of the flights I've been on I've even had a great view of Las Vegas on the way down to LAX.

Pix.
