747 Upper Deck seating other than business class
Which airlines have had upper deck seating on the 747 that was non-J? I remember flying LAX-KIX on JL in Y on the upper deck of the 744.

Also LH 744 F
AF 744 Y
BR 744 Y
VS 744 PY

Air Pacific has economy upstairs on a 747.

In addition to an earlier iteration from VS where PE was solely on the UD (and great it was too!), one of their current layouts has a split J/PE UD.

Does JL still have upper deck Y class? I flew with them years ago JFK-NRT and sat upstairs in Y.

IIRC NZ has a split J/PE UD as well. It actually feels a little awkward (the cabin isn't divided).

JL retired the 747 last year.

Dag, I looked forward to those flights. Do you know what plies the NRT-JFK route now then... a 772 or 773?

ELAL also had a 1st class cabin upstairs on some '47s flying TLV-JFK (not sure about other routes).

JL5/6 is a high-yield route, so it gets the newest 77W (773) with 4 classes of service and the newest JAL Suite F.

Back when SA still had 747's, the UD was all Y (not sure if this was all the 747s or just some?) - and some of the most coveted Y due to greater seat pitch than downstairs

It is now, but ISTR that Wally Bird is correct, and in the past they have had Y on the UD. This was a question about historic layouts as well as current layouts.
