SFO -- SYD: first 772 departs SFO 27 March; turns to 840 at SYD on 29 March

LAX -- SYD: first 772 departs LAX 29 March; turn off 840-29th.

NRT -- ORD: First 744 departs NRT 27 March (aircraft turn at ORD to PVG and FRA in succession the day following arrival from NRT)
ORD -- NRT: First 744 departs ORD 31 March

ORD -- PVG: First 744 departs ORD 28 March
PVG -- ORD: First 744 departs PVG 29 March

ORD -- FRA: First 744 departs ORD 29 March
FRA -- ORD: First 744 departs FRA 30 March

NRT -- SFO: 852 to operate with 772 27 March through 31 March inclusive (772 coming out of rotation)

They've been back almost 6 months now. PVG, NRT and FRA all are on the Queen of the Skies.

there were some announcements a while ago that 744s would be coming back to ORD. Now we have more MX in ORD

Been there for a while. Always see them parked at the gate and sitting outside the UA Club in the middle of the C Concourse - great close up of the plane 10 feet away from you!

I see 744s parked outside the ORD maintenance hangers almost every day.

My November 747 to FRA was switched to 777 a few weeks ago. I was in 2A. Bummed.

Is this a mistake or are the 747s no longer limited to SFO?
It's been a while. Apparently 747 is way too large for routes like SFO-KIX.

On this one:

kind of surprised to see an up gauge in winter for PEK (they used to drop IAD-PEK in winter).
