"Friend Ship" Will Recreate the Journey of the First United 747 Flight from 1970
United's final international 747 flight from Seoul to San Francisco departs October 29
CHICAGO, Sept. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In celebration of United Airlines retiring the Boeing 747 from its fleet, United flight 747, on Tuesday, Nov. 7 from San Francisco to Honolulu will be the airline's farewell flight to the 747 fleet.
This journey will serve as the ultimate throwback for customers, employees and invited guests as it recreates the first 747 flight operated by United in 1970. From a 1970s-inspired menu to retro uniforms for flight attendants to inflight entertainment befitting of that first flight, passengers will help send the Queen of the Skies off in true style. The original United 747 aircraft that first made this journey from San Francisco to Honolulu was named the "Friend Ship," the same name bestowed on this farewell flight.
Seats on this special, one-way trip, United flight 747, are available for purchase now at united.com or through the United app. The seats in the upper deck will not be sold, giving all guests the opportunity to spend time in this iconic space.
Customers seated in United Polaris first class and United Polaris business class will be entered into a drawing that will take place at the gate prior to boarding for an opportunity to occupy one of a select number of seats in the upper deck during the flight.
The journey will begin with a gate celebration at 9 a.m. local time at San Francisco International Airport, featuring a Boeing 747 gallery, remarks from United employees and executives, as well as refreshments. The flight will depart San Francisco International Airport at 11 a.m. local time, landing at Honolulu International Airport at 2:45 p.m. local time. Upon landing in Honolulu, local employees will welcome the aircraft with final festivities to close out the historic day. Customers and fans of the Queen of the Skies are encouraged to use the #UA747Farewell hashtag in social media posts.
United and the Boeing 747 through the Years
April 13, 1966: Boeing announces it will build a 490-passenger 747 transport. Construction is set to begin in June on a new plant in Everett, Washington.
January 3, 1967: The first production workers for the 747 program arrive in Everett. The 50,000 who would produce the world's largest civilian airplane were known as The Incredibles, and they earned the label by bringing the Jumbo Jet dream to reality in only 16 months.
September 30, 1968: The first Boeing 747-100, City of Everett, is rolled out at their Washington plant, painted with the insignias of the 27 airlines that had already ordered the aircraft including United.
February 9, 1969: The Boeing 747-100 makes its first flight.
January 21, 1970: The Boeing 747 makes its first commercial flight from New York to London for Pan American World Airways.
June 26, 1970: Continental Airlines becomes one of the first carriers to put the Boeing 747 into U.S. domestic service, flying from Chicago to Los Angeles and onward to Honolulu.
June 26, 1970: United Airlines receives its first Boeing 747-100 complete with a christening ceremony fit for a luxury liner.
July 23, 1970: United makes its first Boeing 747 commercial flight, with a trip from San Francisco to Honolulu.
January 1977: A modified Boeing 747-100 is delivered to NASA to serve as a carrier vehicle for the Space Shuttle.
April 22, 1985: United announces its plan to acquire Pan Am's Pacific routes, as well as 11 Boeing 747SP planes. The 747SPs feature a 48-foot-shorter body and fly higher, faster, and farther than standard 747 models.
January 29-30, 1988: Friendship One, a Boeing 747SP owned by United Airlines, sets the around-the-world air speed record of 36 hours, 54 minutes, and 15 seconds. This special flight raises $500,000 for children's charities through the Friendship Foundation. Tickets cost a minimum of $5,000, and special guest passengers included astronaut Neil Armstrong, famed test pilots Bob Hoover and Lieutenant General Laurence C. Craigie, and Moya Lear, the widow of Lear Jet founder Bill Lear.
June, 1989: United Airlines receives their first Boeing 747-400 which provides increased range.
August 23, 1990: The first of two modified Boeing 747-200Bs is delivered to the Air Force for presidential transport. Better known as Air Force One, these planes still serve the president today, having replaced the Boeing 707-320Bs that had served as the presidential aircraft for almost 30 years.
September 1996: A 747SP previously flown by United is transformed into NASA's SOFIA, or Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, which carries a 17-ton, 8-foot-wide infrared telescope mounted behind an enormous sliding door.
June 28, 2014: Boeing delivers the 1,500th 747 to come off the production line. The 747 aircraft is the world's first wide-body airplane in history to reach the 1,500 production units milestone.
January 11, 2017: United announces that it will retire the Boeing 747-400 fleet in the last quarter of 2017.
July 28, 2017: United schedules a special domestic flight from Chicago O'Hare to San Francisco to allow more people to say farewell to the Queen of the Skies.
October 29, 2017: United flies its last international 747 flight from Seoul to San Francisco.
November 7, 2017: United celebrates the retirement of the Boeing 747 with a fitting full-circle moment. A special retro event sees the aircraft flying from San Francisco to Honolulu—a nod to its first-ever flight back in 1970.

Guaranteed Y/B for 1K
Anyway got luck getting a confirmed seat in full fare (~$1600 for Y)? Partner and I, both 1K, tried to claim the benefit without luck. Apparently they are not allowed to overbook after certain level. Customer service referred us to website that benefit is for “most” flights, not anymore for all flights.

My latest update I've heard from a personal UA connection I have is that the Y waitlist is in the "hundreds." I received another email back from UA yesterday as well, basically just offering to sell me a seat on another flight.
Thank you for the suggestion, and a good point.
Thanks very much! A long shot but at least a new lead to try!
Of course, wasn't suggesting taking a ticket under someone else's name or impersonating them.
Unfortunately, international travel to South Korea just isn't in the cards for me right now for a few reasons. No, I don't *have* to be on this flight, but like every hobby and passion, I really want to be. I don't travel long haul very often at all, nor fly frequently as many of the folks on this site do (I'm likely going to struggle to renew Silver this year). Heck, my last flight over an ocean may have been to HNL, coincidentally, 3-4 years ago and I've only flown international once in my life. I'm just simply a young guy who is a dedicated aviation enthusiast to a fault...who has had a passion and fascination of the 747, the United brand, and the other classic airliners & airlines of the 60s-80s for most of my life. I may have to post some pictures of the walls in my house or some of my collections - I've got a '90s United 744 safety card sitting next to my desk as I type now, "for luck."
I grew up after this classic era in jet travel and never got to experience the old uniforms, service, or older jets. Recreating a "retro experience" as part of the final farewell celebration to one of the last classic (and truly iconic) aircraft out there on an airline I deeply enjoy, would be very special to me. What better way to enjoy my first, and last, flight on a United 747? A memory that I'd cherish forever and would hurt very much to miss out on. And, gosh, what a party it would be with a plane full of hundreds of other fans and enthusiasts. I realize that sounds silly to some, but I feel this flight has a true sentimental value to me. I had been hoping such a retirement celebration flight, especially on a domestic route. I have literally been saving miles for a couple of years now, though likely not enough to win the high-stakes auction, and some money too. I will say, though, while I'm willing to pay a pretty penny (full-fare certainly), I do have to be *somewhat* realistic in my budget. I was saddened when it seemed the final flight would be just a regular long-haul originally, but this announcement...at least to me....came out of nowhere. It's still killing me that I appear to have missed a seat by mere minutes. I'm checking my reservation/waitlist a few times an hour still, even when I wake up in the middle of the night.
I was at work and not at a computer at the time - wrong time, wrong place I suppose. <1% is still greater than 0% (in my mind), so I really don't want to give up yet.
I like it! I'm more of a Snoopy and Peanuts kind of guy, though
I am refreshing it several times an hour. My stomach aches each time it jumps. Unfortunately, with 17 days left and at the rate it's going, it might all be just a passing glimmer of hope and out of my mileage pocketbook reach shortly. Maybe, just maybe, NO ONE else will bid haha. I'll split the pair of seats with someone! 
Quite true!
Thank you everyone, very much, for the suggestions and words of encouragement - both in this thread and via private message. I really do appreciate the support and well-wishes. While I'm trying not to get too worked up in order to stay realistic - if I somehow pull this off, I can't begin to imagine the smiles and tears of joy I'd have in SFO boarding the aircraft and meeting some of you. I do fall into the category of long-time-lurker, occasional-poster. Again, I acknowledge this sounds VERY silly to some of you, so please forgive me for taking up several posts of this thread - you aren't alone, however; my friends and family think I'm certifiably nuts and are seriously concerned over how much this has been bothering me the past week and a half with six weeks to go.
I would not buy a ticket via ANZ or any other non-UA channel. I have a sneaking suspicion that those will be cancelled or otherwise not honored.
You are highly motivated for a seat, so here is my advice:
1. Buy a fully refundable SFO-HNL ticket for later in the day.
2. Show up early for the flight and try being listed for SDC to flight 747.
3. After being told you can't list for that flight, make good friends with the UA staff there. Tell them you will be around in case there are no-shows.
Still, your chances are probably close to zero as UA probably has put employees on a special waitlist.
Good luck...

Which is unfortunate because captainkorndog is clearly willing to pay the price to get on this flight, and it would be very sad to see UA let someone ride for free when there is someone as wanting as CKD.
CKD - I saw on viewfromthewing that United offered Gary Leff a seat that he turned down. Maybe try reaching out to him/seeing if you could get his seat? I think FT prohibits linking the articles but if you go to his site, it's one of the newer articles.
Fingers crossed for you.

So I think the chances of you getting on this flight are less than 1%, I doubt anyone who bought a ticket will be a no show so little chance of an SDC and it is doubtful additional inventory will open up with the number it sounds like are on the waitlist.
Other than FOMO of being able to say you were on the last UA 747 is there a reason why you HAVE to be on the flight?
If you are willing to Shell out significant cash to be on this, why don't you take a 744 on SFO-ICN the last week of October which would give you two 747 rides and the tickets are relatively inexpensive (interestingly I found a RT for Oct 23 ret. Oct 25 for $747), if you have miles (which it sounds like you do, that is an L fare so you can upgrade for 30k + $600 each way and both flight have UD seats available. Wouldn't that be a better way to get a last (two) 744 flights than trying to get a middle seat on the final final flight?

It's close to Halloween - maybe you can find a Scoobie Doo suit and a large kennel and convince someone to take you with 'em. You'll need current rabies shot, rabies blood test, implant chip so airport release vet tech can scan and verify your identity matches the blood test/paperwork.
May not have enough time - all the paperwork has to submitted to State so you can get your import permit prior to departure.
Just kidding. I can see you REALLY want to be on the plane.

CaptKornDog, have you checked out the Mileage Plus auction for packages which include a seat on this flight? I can't post URLs (two few posts) so I'll have to send you to google to find these auctions, but if you have a TON of miles you might be able to score. I'd love to see you succeed and get on this flight!

For what it's worth to others:
On Thursday, a relative kindly talked with a United Club CSR about the waitlist for this flight. They pulled up the flight in the system and it looked like the waitlist was several pages long (with 100+ names). The waitlist seemed to be broken down into A-E categories. Not sure what those categories represent...probably some kind of fare/status combination. My name apparently appeared on the "C" category.
Think I'm getting to the point of being irritatingly persistent to the [email protected] folks too :P
Also have heard a rumor through a connection that there will be a special paint (or at least partial paint/decal) on the aircraft for this flight. Potentially more information to be released this weekend at the SFO family day.
