Hi Everyone,
All I wanted to try to do is attempt to find a flight aboard a 747 without
going to far to do so. I really didn't realize it would be such a battle to
go through to find one. Wow!! Ultimately a posting by a James Robinson
ended my search and HOPEFULLY will end the battles that I began and to my
fault, help a couple going. THANK YOU, James Robinson for your help and
understanding what I was requesting. I really did think this newsgroup
would have been a proper place to post my request but again, in my life of
many wrongs, I was wrong again.

You've gotten good advice here if you're willing to wade through the
chaff. You might also try rec.travel.air, that newsgroup is more
focussed on airline travel as a passenger.

In my experience, passenger 747's are awfully rare in this hemisphere.
Even between the U.S. and Europe, it looks like 777's and A330's
dominate. You're probably going to have to go to Asia. Lots of 747s
leave LAX for Asian destinations.

The days of 747 service are numbered, alot of people missed rides on
L-1011s, DC-10s, and 707s. Its like the Redd Fox lounge shows in
Vegas, you saw the sign on the Hacienda and wanted to go. Then one day
poof, Redd was gone.
