I post this in Social as I hope they will do a special event like they did for the MD-11 a few years ago...

So, it's the last year if you want to fly on a KLM 747, the last flight has been scheduled for 03 JAN 2021

Granted, the interiors of the KLM 747s are relatively dated, and even business class isn’t up to the latest standards. The Boeing 787s that are taking the 747’s place on many KLM flights are a far better option in terms of seat comfort and amenities.

Oh really ? I'll gladly take a dated 747 over a 787 any day !!

Word!!

I'm flying AMS-JFK tomorrow, on a 772. I wouldn't mind if that would be replaced by a 744.

On the way back, I'd even pay for it. 789

This makes me sad. I've never been on a 747.

Wonder how much them Combis are going for?

My first 747 trip was on August 5, 1988 from LHR to JFK on a Pan Am aircraft named Maiden of the Seas. Go figure.

February 5th, 1986, LHR-MIA, also Pan Am. Couldn't tell you which one, though.

May 24th, 1974 LHR-HKG via the Pan Am milk run...can remember stopping at FCO, BEY, IKA, KHI and BKK (but could be mistaken as was only 7 at the time!)

My first ever 747 flight was with Royal Air Maroc, I think in 1986...

My first 747 flight was on Singapore Airlines FRA-JFK.

And I never forget flying the KLM 747 to SXM and back. Booked the MD11 flight to SXM and got the 747 as replacement.
