Schedule for Remaining 747 flights to/from US?
I've been looking at a fall trip to Europe from NYC and I've seen the KLM 747 combi on a couple of flights but I haven't been able to consistently find it. If it is actually flying between NYC and AMS this fall I'd love a chance to ride it for the first and last time - does anyone have a handle on which flights it's scheduled to operate, that
far out?

What a bummer. I haven't been staying on top of these developments but in diving into the rabbit hole of the above post, I just realized that I'll likely never fly a 747 again. I've always intentionally looked for the 747 flight from LAX-AMS, particularly if 1A or 4A are open, but now that routing is just about finished. Those single seats were my favorite business seats on any airline. As I fly mainly Skyteam, my only hope is to find a Korean Air route at some point.

Not great photos because of the weather at AMS but I got in one more ride on a 747 combi before retirement.
This one is City of Seoul PH-BFS flying AMS-LAX on 16-Feb 2020. I was in lower deck business and enjoyed superb service and nice view out the windows. I will miss the Queen of the Sky. This was my 2nd time on PH-BFS.
