No more 747ER F now!

[markis10]

The last ER has positioned to AVV for refurb, so there are no more F equipped ERs!

 

[TonyHancock]

markis10 do you know how many 747's that aren't ER's are left with F at the moment?

Cheers

 

[markis10]

There are still 8 in service, of which 7 are active at present.

 

[lovestotravel]

Sad times, I have only enjoyed F on the 744 once on QF but it was a great experience, even with the older style cabin

 

[TonyHancock]

There are still 8 in service, of which 7 are active at present.

Many thanks. I have a QF51 coming up in August and at present have 1A on a non refurbished craft. So fingers crossed for me.

Me too, I have 1A on QF107 in early August so am also keeping fingers crossed

 

[aus_flyer]

So what about QF107 to LAX?

There are still 8 in service, of which 7 are active at present.

And confirming with three to be retained (and cabins to be "enhanced")?

 

[markis10]

So what about QF107 to LAX?

What about it, QF107 is not sold with F on either leg.

Not sold with a F cabin. Am travelling J but when I select seats it certainly appears to me to be in the F cabin.

Not sold with a F cabin. Am travelling J but when I select seats it certainly appears to me to be in the F cabin.

F seats with J service will continue as long as the F cabin 747s fly, and they are spread around a bit!

 

[moa999]

So what 747s does QF have left ??
And what is the plan for the older jets. With no more A380s due for years and 787s still a way off, these can't be retired without more route reductions
Based on my understanding of about 20 747s left

6 newish ERs - All now refitted with SkyBed IIs
3 newish 400 - Presently with F and SkyBed I. To be refitted with SkyBed IIs
4 older 400 with F (plus 1 inactive) - Not nominated for refurb
[6-7] older 400 with no F - Not nominated for refurb

The older ones are being retired as they come off lease etc, two left for Victorville last month.

 

[moa999]

Understood that is what has been said.. but with another 10/11 left to be retired and no near-term aircraft replacements, at some point a flight to Victorville is going to mean a route cancelled

 

[docjames]

What will they use for the SYD-PER run if they get rid of all the 2-class (last one being OJD iirc??) as they re-announced it's use on that route did they not?

 

[cove]

4A in a 747 in First was still special for me.
i had graduated from 1A and 1K.

VH-OJU has been at Avalon since May 8 being refurbished.
Must be just about ready to resume service.

 

[pshepvic]

Me too, I have 1A on QF107 in early August so am also keeping fingers crossed

I have 1A on QF107 for the LAX-JFK leg on July 28. Currently not refurbed and hoping it stays that way!

Do they ever operate ERs from BNE-LAX-JFK? If not and there is an aircraft change on my flight, I'm still a 6/7 chance of the old F cabin!

Indeed....'oh dear this 747 is being retired, what can we do about BNE-SIN now?? oh look what good timing a 787 in JQ colours:!:'

I think you will find A330s filling the void.
