Its sad that the 748 is getting phased out of SFO - much nicer F and J cabins than the 777 and it's a more iconic aircraft than all the other ones. I checked Airlineroute http://www.routesonline.com/news/38/...ervice-in-s17/ and it looks like KE is increasing frequencies to 2 daily flights from SFO-ICN using 777-300ER starting in September.
I'm glad I was able to experience F in the 748, and will be taking the family on the J upper deck in the summer before it gets shifted to some other route.

At least it'll be a smoother and quieter ride right?

A380 biz is nice actually.
Due to the large number of biz seats, there will likely be an empty seat beside you.
Also there is a nice lounge in front and a bar at the back.

I wish the 748 was flying to LAX, it would be a real treat to try its first class cabin compared to the a380. Does anyone know how KE chooses routes for this? I've seen 1 or 2 at HNL. From what I've seen, it's supposed to be only the 744 on that route.

It is absolutely waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too early to know just under one year from now. They won't confirm fall equipment until about 3 months before. In the mean time, it chould change a lot. So don't expect anything to be set until around May/June of next year.
