Thanks. Nothing short unfortunately, was hoping to take my boys on one last QF 747 trip before they retired them. Might have to keep an eye out for some last domestic sectors on them instead.

Mick, see post #730 of this thread for some domestic 744 flights on sale. These are positioning flights for scenic Antarctic flights with some in November, 2019 to Adelaide and Brisbane.

OJU was deleted from reg on 21/10 and is expected to become N747RR.

QANTAS will operate B744s on QF127/128 from SYD to HKG and return from today until 14/12/19 with another on 16/12/19. OEI is operating the flight today and is just taxiing for departure. An A330 will operate the flights on 15/12/19 and 17/12/19 before A380s take over from 18/12/19.

As SFO services are being operated by B789s from today, will a 744 be retired shortly with another when seasonal 744 flights to YVR have ceased on 27/1/20? There is also another Constellation Journeys around the world charter scheduled for 2020 using a QANTAS 744 between 29/4/20 and 16/5/20.

It looks as though the first of the QANTAS 744ERs is to be retired in February after the following one way flight to LAX:

Qantas in February 2020 schedules another one-way Boeing 747-400ER service to the US, as it scheduled Sydney – Los Angeles one-way flight on 09FEB20. Planned operational schedule for QF099 as follows.

QF099 SYD1700 – 1150LAX 744

Any thoughts as to the registration?
