You're right Heathrow Harry! both for aircraft and cars.
Quote: "I just booked our latest trip to LHR/YVR in Club World, upper deck on the 747 and as far as I am concerned that is the way to fly, just love the 747 and upstairs it is quiet and super comfortable.
We make the flight fairly regularly and I will probably weep when the 747 retires if the replacement is not as good - will it be 777, 787 or A380 anyone know?
If it is the 777 I will be giving Virgin a call.......!"
Agree about the excellent B747, but it's eventual demise is to be expected and it's regretable that B747-8 has not been the replacement of choice.
