Flight Review
As always to make a flight in B747 is a great moment. Especially when I know that will be my last flight in B747 with Delta Air Lines.
Because it is the last US airliners operated the B747 in passenger configuration
The latest Delta B747s are in operation from Detroit only. For my last flight I had the choice between Tokyo, Seoul or Shanghai.
Seoul Incheon was my choice and the flight was in accordance with Delta standards with a touch of nostalgia
