And I was so surprised that they actually called me back and explained in detailed the whole operation to me !
Anyway, just fyi, they are still using the Combi on that route until at least March next year. So far they have no intention to change it to the 400 series, or do any refitting of the cabin for the Combi (not that she knows).
Well, if this is the way customer service is always for both KLM and FB, that is the way to go! ^
Full marks for calling you back. ^
I'm not so impressed with the quality of the answer given though:
a) all 747's on KLM are of the -400 series, both the combi's and full-passenger configurations
b) there are no dedicated registrations per route, meaning all 6 full passenger and 16 combi are rotated throughout the 747 destinations. (BKK/TPE usually gets a KL asia aircraft but not always)
c) all 747's will be retrofitted (see other threads), BFB and BFD have already been done and those aircraft also fly on your route.
