United Airlines’ Last Boeing 747 Flight Will Have a 1970s Theme
United Airlines is officially retiring the Boeing 747, which made its inaugural trip on November 1, 1970, with the memorable flight from San Francisco to Honolulu.
In honor of its swan song flight, the airline is putting together a retro-inspired, goodbye send-off for the aircraft, complete with the 1970s themed menu, a retro-uniformed crew, and period-appropriate in-flight entertainment. Seats on the one-way flight (which departs San Francisco at 11 a.m. PST) are available for purchase. In addition, the seats in the upper deck of the plane will be left unsold, so all of the passengers can visit the space during the flight. (Finally, some leg room.)
According to Travel Weekly, United plans to fly its final international route using a 747, from Seoul to San Francisco, on October 29.
While exact details have yet to be released, we hope nostalgic travelers get a chance to sip a Harvey Wallbanger while enjoying a screening of Planet of the Apes at cruising altitude.
