About how much fuel does an airliner land with?(anything from a 737 to 747)   Do international flights land with more fuel than domestic flights?  Thanks.

I believe that most aircraft have a maximum allowable landing weight. For some reason I seem to recall 20% fuel load although don't quote me on that. That fuel load may even be a required limit to allow for any contingencies that might arise.
