Hey

Can anyone tell me what the LHR Jumbos are operating this summer; I notice theyve been taken off the JNB.

Thanks

I know that in a change to previous years when summer saw only Airbus metal to NYC, there are two 747 flights (45/46 and 1/2) operating to JFK and EWR respectively August this year. I think this down to there being one less daily flight to JFK.

IIRC the 747s only operate to JNB over the winter/ Christmas period. When we flew there in Feb 2008 it was a 346.

747s are operating on the EWR, SFO and JFK routes for the summer. I'm not sure about MIA and whether the fifth is doing the BGI route for part of the time

Our return flight from BGI in early August is on an LHR config 747.
