The offer is somewhat bittersweet in that you’ve always wanted to fly in First Class aboard a 747 and since Braniff no longer operates its bright orange 747s on this route, you’re stuck with a DC-10 via the other airline(s) that fly LGW to DFW. Not so fast says the company travel agent. There is one airline that operates a single once weekly 747 between LGW and DFW. First Class is available. Book it, Danno! Identify the airline you’ll be flying, please.

I'm going with a literal interpretation of the question, naming the airline that operates a single once weekly 747, not an airline that flies only once a week and uses a 747. American Airlines. I believe that was their initial plane they used on the route but eventually changed to DC-10's.

Way to get this one started, Mr. T! We are however looking for an airline other than American (which was flying the LGW-DFW route at the time, albeit with a DC-10-30) Additionally, with DFW being AA's primary hub, it offered daily flights in this market. Please, guess again!
