I am sure this is not the case for domestic flights. The 747s basically sit on the ground when they are swapped out since they are ordered for the vip flights

it looks like Spring and Summer Sundays are your best chance on flying on a B747-8i on Air China CA1557

The best way is to book the last flight of the day, and wait for that flight to be cancelled. Afterwards, wait til 6 hours before a 747 flight and rebook yourself on it. Weird way but surely it works.
