Originally I think one 747 was supposed to service HKG, but it wouldn't surprise me if that plan has been shelved also, so that it is the end of the NH 747 with CDG...

NH said they wanted to get rid of international 747s by 2011. My guess is that the 747s will be converted to freighters and sent down to Okinawa where NH is setting up its regional cargo hub.

For those who take the NRT-CDG, how long does it normally takes to clear customs? Is there any fast track for biz class pax?

It sounds like they're all getting ready for the 787 switch, which keeps getting further and further away...

There is nothing related to 787 at all, 744 is replaced by 77W. 787 is only going to add additonal seats for some long haul routes. 787 mostly going to replace all 763, which NH stated because of the 787 delay, they have to order additonal 763.

And there it ends

For those interested, last 744 international flight seems to be NRT-CDG-NRT on Oct 23rd.
Frankfurt seems to go daily 77W from Sept 1st.

Equipment subject to change until last minute of course.

I am helping friends plan an F class *A journey using their Aeroplan miles.

One routing that we are comtemplating is using NH from Japan to Europe. Which destination in Europe ( from NRT or elsewhere in Japan ) would provide them with the best First Class experience, both in the air and on the ground ?

Any other comments or ideas gratefully accepted.

Given how few seats turn up for redemption on NH F, your first priority should be finding a flight that even has space to begin with. The phrase "rarer than a hen's teeth" comes to mind...

Soon, all flights will be operated by 77W, which means that the three flights from NRT to LHR, CDG and FRA will be identical in all aspects of the in-flight service. I would suggest just choosing whichever flight you manage to find space on

The ground service should also be identical, since NH only flies from NRT and the three European flights leave within 30 minutes of each other.
