I remember the excitement of my first 747 flight in the 70's. I had the unexpected pleasure of being being bumped into first class a couple of times in the 80's on trans-Atlantic flights, that was particularly awesome.

I treated myself to a flight on a Lufthansa 747 upper deck, just so I could have the life experience. Having a widebody-style business-class seat with only a single aisle, with no other seats behind our section, almost made it feel like I was on a small private jet.

Flew the upper deck on a cargolux flight, but I was too young to really appreciate it.

No they will deadhead crews, mechanics, and some other staff in the 8-16 seats (going off 20-year old memory) on the upper deck.

Spent quite a bit of time in the cockpit, too. Good memories.

I mostly built ULDs, processed customs docs and accepted DGR back in those days. :D

My grandfather did avionics maintenance at Boeing for like 60 years, contracted out to airlines all over the place. Kuwait, Saudi, Beijing... the man had some wild stories.

No, but I have a lot of emotional baggage.

I’m always configured for economy. I must have that kind of look.

I had the pleasure of flying Asiana Airlines to Europe in Business class in the early 90’s. It was in the upper deck. It was fantastic. I will miss the 747s as they retire.
