VS still do have Y on top.
I hope I'll be able to put together an itinerary to JFK with VS 747 on one direction and KL 747 on another. So far I've been able to get one or the other on the cheap, but for both on one reservation, price jumps up a couple hundred euros for eco.

In related news, I am scheduled to be on the 747 to LAX Tuesday, but I am dreading an equipment change with the pick-up truck incident. Let's hope we don't get equipment swapped.

Just had another delightful flight, UD on the 747Combi to LAX.
Did anyone else see the word that KLM has to retire one 747 early because of agreements with Air France? What is that all about?

Hey that's close to my first flight. I was 9 months old and my parents took me on a Pan Am 747-100 from JFK-LAX. Somewhere there's an adorable picture of me sitting in the hideously colored seat.
