Some people in F/J actually booked this flight without realising it was a "last 747 flight" and were really annoyed with all the extra fanfare and "annoyances", just wanted to get from point A to B with minimal fuss. At one point they had to close off the F cabin as there was too much foot traffic of "tourists".
45 DM and 20 OWE on the flight.
No water salute on HKIA arrival? Thats a little disappointing!
I would also be annoyed if I had booked F and people were going in the cabin. If people really wanted to take a look at the F cabin they could have done so after landing, right?
Impressive amount of OWE! I wonder how many GO/OWS were on board.
I also wonder if the flight was overbooked? Do you think anyone got bumped off the flight with so many DM's probably taking advantage of last minute guaranteed bookings???
