A long goodbye to the Queen of the Skies
There’s no airplane that I’ll miss more when it vanishes from passenger service than the Boeing 747. The original jumbo jet hasn’t just helped to knit the world together since its first revenue flight in 1970, that iconic four-engine widebody has also been a recurring character in my own traveling life for decades.
For the first few of those decades, the Queen of the Skies was more of a regular character for how it owned most overseas itineraries and often soaked up capacity on transcontinental domestic routes. My first flight across the Atlantic that I can remember involved a Pan Am 747; I first flew across the Pacific on a Northwest Airlines 747. And at any airport where the 747 flew, there was no mistaking that aircraft, with its upper-deck hump and quadruple main landing gear, for any other.
(Especially if the 747 in question was one of the two operated by NASA and customized to fly space shuttles across the U.S.)
But by the time I boarded that NW flight from Detroit to Tokyo in 1998, the 747 was already starting to see its commercial sunset as twin-engine widebodies like Boeing’s 777 began securing safety certification to operate increasingly lengthy routes at lower costs than the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and Lockheed L-1011 trijet widebodies that had once been the 747’s primary long-haul competition.
The first decade of this century featured far fewer 747 flights for me, although the one my wife and I took from Dulles to Beijing in 2007 stands out for a different reason: a seating overlap led United to move us up to business class. My final flight on a 747 operated by the airline I’ve flown more than any other came a decade later, when I was able to clear an upgrade and grab the last seat open on the upper deck of a 747-400 flying from San Francisco to Shanghai.
United retired the 747 in November of that year–and since I was at Web Summit in Lisbon that week, I couldn’t spend a ridiculous amount of money on UA’s farewell 747 flight from SFO to Honolulu.
But that was not my own farewell to the 747. Air China, Lufthansa and Korean Air still fly the 747-8, the final version produced, and a press trip to Helsinki in 2022 gave me a chance to apply an upgrade to a Lufthansa flight from Newark to Frankfurt and enjoy one more ride on the 747’s upper deck. The view up there has no equivalent to what you can see from a 777, 787, Airbus A330 or any other single-deck long-range airliner.
And then this Wednesday morning found me boarding yet another LH-operated 747-8, this time with a boarding pass for a seat in the nose. After years of reading trip reviews rhapsodizing about Lufthansa’s first class and reminding readers about how to redeem miles from partner airlines’ programs for that experience, news of an impending devaluation for Lufthansa redemptions made me realize that I had left one 747 flight undone on my checklist.
So I cashed in a large stash of Avianca LifeMiles, collected by leveraging a bank sign-up bonus earned in 2021, to book myself a one-way first-class 747-8 flight from Frankfurt to Dulles, burned some United miles to get myself from Dulles to Frankfurt, and used a Hyatt free-night certificate for the overnight stay in between.
(I wrote a longer breakdown for Patreon readers of the long game involved in this travel hack, including my surprisingly small out-of-pocket costs for this bucket-list trip.)
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve flown across the Atlantic, but I can report that Wednesday’s flight in seat 2K–below the cockpit and ahead of the front landing gear, so far forward that I could not see the wing–stands apart from those other crossings, and not only for the luxury involved.
If I never fly the Queen again–or the two other four-engine long-haul jets in commercial service in the West, the Airbus A340 and A380–that’s okay. But if another opportunity somehow presents itself to fly a 747, preferably upstairs or upfront… it might be hard to turn down.

"Why Trump's plan to use luxury jet as Air Force One is 'highly unusual'" [ ± 1-3 min]

Quote by CNN:
"May 11, 2025
The Trump administration is set to accept a luxury plane from the Qatari royal family which will be retrofitted and used as Air Force One during his second term, two people familiar with the agreement told CNN. Trump and aides toured a model of the plane earlier this year at the airport in Palm Beach."
"In 1971, TWA (Trans World Airlines) introduced a new group of flight attendant uniforms conceived by Rome-based fashion designer Valentino Garavani. The uniform came in three colors: purple, brown, or beige. It featured a range of wardrobe combinations in a polyester knit fabric, including a form-fitting minidress, pants, and a frock coat. The outfits came with signature Valentino buttons and matching scarves, and could be worn with pumps or go-go boots. In promotions, flight attendants were featured wearing various colors and combinations of the uniform. This promotional image shows a flight attendant wearing the beige frock coat over the minidress. Do you remember this uniform?

Les événements du 9 février.
En 1969, le Boeing 747, surnommé #JumboJet, effectue son premier vol aux États-Unis. Avec son look caractéristique, le Jumbo Jet restera pendant des années, jusqu’au lancement de l’Airbus A380, l’avion capable d’emporter le plus de passagers. La production de cet avion emblématique s’est terminée en 2023 …

"BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation) launched Boeing 747 widebody transatlantic service in April 1971 between London and New York. The 747 offered the airline a far more comfortable, roomy, and luxurious option compared to the narrow-body Vickers VC10, which had been in service since 1964. It also had a capacity that was more than double that of the VC10 or the Boeing 707. This was particularly important for the high demand in seats during the summer tourist season. In an advertisement, BOAC proclaimed, “you will hardly believe you're in an aircraft” and described the jumbojet’s interior as “very like a cinema auditorium,” yet with larger seats and superior food. The airline also touted the unique upstairs first-class lounge. Did you ever fly on a BOAC 747? “Widebody: The Launch of the Jumbojets in the Early 1970s” is on display, pre-security, in the Aviation Museum and Library. http://bit.ly/WidebodyAV" This was posted to our Instagram account on November 26, 2019 – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/instagram/1729355847/
"When McDonnell Douglas began to develop their widebody jetliner in the late 1960s, they endeavored to create an airliner that would operate in areas not served by the 747. The DC-10 was initially designed to be operated on transcontinental or regional routes (although later variants came with enhanced, transoceanic range) with fewer passengers than the 747. It was also intended to operate at airports not suitable for the 747. It would thus broaden the widebody market to more airlines and a greater proportion of the traveling public. McDonnell Douglas promoted the DC-10 as the widebody airliner for the entire family in a promotional poster by artist George Akimoto (1922–2010). “Widebody: The Launch of the Jumbojets in the Early 1970s” is on display, pre-security, in the Aviation Museum and Library. http://bit.ly/WidebodyAV" This was posted to our Instagram account on December 05, 2019 – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/instagram/1729355829/
"Continental was one of numerous U.S. airlines to launch Boeing 747 jumbojet service in 1970. To promote its widebody operations, the airline introduced a new line of uniforms. Stewardesses were offered a choice of several ensembles. A form-fitting, polyester mini-dress projected a flashy, energetic look of casual comfort with bright stripes in Continental’s colors. Worn with patterned scarves featuring the airline’s circular contrails logo and complemented with red pumps, the uniforms were issued until 1973 and were in use during the introduction of the airline’s next widebody airliner, the McDonnell Douglas DC-10. “Widebody: The Launch of the Jumbojets in the Early 1970s” is on display, pre-security, in the Aviation Museum and Library. http://bit.ly/WidebodyAV" This was posted to our Instagram account on October 18, 2019 – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/instagram/1729355987/

Habe gerade ein neues Blogposting veröffentlicht, welches sich damit befasst, wie Google Gemini auf die Frage meines vorherigen Blogpostings (Warum die beiden größten Legenden der Luftfahrt immer seltener werden) reagiert hat.

Un volcan islandais n’avait pas encore cloué au sol le transport aérien mondial. Le 747-200 de British Airways aurait pu entrer ce jour-là dans la catégorie des plus grandes catastrophes aériennes. #JumboJet #747

I like to imagine my own flight looked a lot like this one when we came over the Potomac and the roar of jets announced our arrival into the kind embrace of Dulles Airport on a muggy summer's evening, so I call this piece purely and simply, "Welcome Home".
