On Tuesday, November 7, United Airlines will say farewell to its Boeing 747 fleet with one last flight of the “Queen of the Skies.” United flight 747 is a one-way trip from San Francisco to Honolulu — just like the very first United 747 flight that took place in 1970 — and there will be festivities before the plane departs SFO and then after it lands at HNL. Upper deck seats weren’t sold for this special event, however, because lucky passengers will be selected for “upgrades,” while others will still be able to check out the seats during their trip.
