I was curious so I checked too. The usual P class price, so £1800 (from the UK). Seems to be 787-9 most days, so you might have to search hard to get the combi, but it's worth it.
....assuming you're able to fly to Korea in a week's time for who knows what reason. Here are some suggestions:
*I went to buy essentials as I ran out of Kimchi.
*I am getting essential new equipment for work (electronics ofc)
*I am participating in an E-Sports tournament.

PH-BFS is operating flight KLM747 on its way to ORD now, does that mean one additional 74M is brought back to service? Or is it being sold?

Starting July 4th, there's a single combi roundtrip JFK-AMS a day, any speculation about that? My reservation isn't until two months later.

There's been combis running 2 or 3 times a week to Beijing(?) via Seoul through May. They showed up in the booking system but AFAIK they were cargo only.

Sorry, got called away and hit post before completing the thought. It's JFK-AMS, KL644 on the outbound, KL643 the return.

They haven’t updated the July schedules yet. That’s still the regular (pre-covid) schedule for the most part. You can expect cuts and the removal of the 747 flights, soon enough.)
