Thread: JL/NH's B 747-400 Long Haul Routes

United Airline, I know for sure that NH changed NRT - FRA to daily B77W since September 1, 2009. For CDG it's a mix of B744 and B77W. For JL I can't tell. Chris

JAL: NRT - JFK - GRU NRT - ORD (mix with B77W) NRT - FCO NRT - MXP NRT - HNL KIX - HNL NRT - YVR - MEX NRT - HKG NRT - ICN HND - GMP + some international B744's do domestic runs, + they are used at a minimum at this moment, 1 is undergoing conversion to converted freighter (BCF type): JA8072 + some are used for seasonal charters, now to Canada...

Quoting Airbuseric ( Reply 2 ): JAL: NRT - ORD (mix with B77W) NRT - YVR - MEX NRT - HKG NRT - ORD has been all 77W since October 25. MEX service ends January 18. One of JL 's 2 daily NRT - HKG flights is being downgraded from 744 to 763 effective January 12.

What about NRT - SYD ? for JFK NRT - JFK (JL5-6) is 77W NRT - JFK and NRT - JFK - GRU is 744

Quoting Newyorkcityboi ( Reply 4 ): What about NRT - SYD ? NRT - SYD (JL771/772) is B777-200ER.

One more by B744 is NRT - DPS , daily flight.

Quoting Airbuseric ( Reply 6 ): One more by B744 is NRT - DPS , daily flight. I believe you missed NGO - HNL as well. I watch this bird take off on some evenings. Quoting United Airline ( Thread starter ): NRT - SFO , NRT - LAX Very unlikely. Besides, they just went B77W starting this year if I am not mistaken.

what about BKK ? JL used to fly 747 to BKK at least when I was there a few months ago (June)... Did they change that as well?

747-400 is yesterdays plane. More and more carriers are replacing them. The type is no spring chicken having been in service now for some 21 years.

Hopefully the B 747-8 and the A 380 will continue to embrace the skies with large orders. And of course the new Y1 double decker B 747 replacement
