Very nice! It looks like it's worth a visit.

Edit: by the way, it might be worth adding 'Upper Deck Experience' to the thread title, maybe.

only £6.95

may I also add, 64 A and K didn’t make the cut

also a little gift shop there were I got myself one of these😁

Id of really likes to of done the flight sim experience , but they make me dizzy as we use them at my work for train driver training

How random - I saw this in a newspaper story the other day advertising the experience, and today (after much digging and help from LCY8737 ) that this was also the first aircraft I flew business class on to New York in 2018!

Wonder why they removed the CRT screens?

Parts value in B747s still flying I guess - mainly the freighters.

All the ife screens got stripped out too

Got a bit of it at home…one of the very windows from my seat, 2A, on my last 747 flight in BA First…

Shame about 64 A and K :( Otherwise, this all really brings back the memories (though I don't recall all that tinsel!).

G-BYGA AKA The Deck…
 

Wasting time on TikTok this evening (I know, I know…) I found this:

Seems the company purchased ano cut off the top deck of G-BYGA and have turned it into a 747 experience, up in Manchester. They also have a flight simulator which, although nothing like the old ones over in Hatton Cross, might still appeal to some people.
