Thank you for a very nice and clear video. I have done this flight very many times and love the 747, never any problems. Flying Economy (Coach) is a bit cramped but you can do things to adapt; noise-cancelling headphones are really handy on such a trip. The Brisbane to Los Angeles leg is about 12 hours, the return is about 13 hours depending on winds and weather. People worry about such a long flight over ocean but if you look on the map you pass New Caledonia, Fiji and Samoa so the longest empty stretch is from roughly Samoa to south of Hawaii. Having 4 engines should always give you confidence. Very sad to see the Qantas 747's have been retired, the 787's are nice but may not have quite the charm of the Boeing 747.

[@saulfernandez8876]

Ye they were beautiful, but not as economical, i suppose. I rode in one hardly moved at all.

[@rogerredding5269]

I always felt safe and relaxed 😊 on the 747 jumbo jetliner what a beautiful aircraft thanks Mr Boeing.

[@46monkeyes]

I still find it amazing that aircraft fly with such precision especially over these long-haul flights!

[@nuvinpooliyadde7319]

Such a beautiful aircraft!!!😍😍😍 #Qantas747 We are going to miss you guys forever 😪😪😪Long haul travel will never be the same.

[@travelinben1966]

Awesome aircraft.It’s design is truly timeless.

[@chithminaweliamuna8032]

That plane was Qantas' last 747. VH-OEJ. Never forget that queen!

[@nenblom]

Around the world trip, eh? Not bad! Thanks for taking us along from Brisbane to Los Angeles! ✈️✈️👍👍 🇦🇺 🇺🇸

[@onenote8608]

We rode in 2013 from Los Angeles to Brisbane. R.I.P. Qantas Boeing 747. :( Welcome to Boeing 787. Boeing 787 is smaller than Boeing 747. I can’t believe that, some Boeing 747 were removed. I love Boeing 747! It is my favorite.

[@patrickproctor3462]

The 777X or A350 successor will replace the 747 eventually.

[@TheWuschelMUC]

@@patrickproctor3462 The Jumbo is a great plane. However, I did not like the seats in the middle. No chance to look out of a window. A slightly smaller plane might be more comfortable.

[@1101millie97]

Love that sight at LAX, a Qantas Boeing 747-400ER and a Qantas Airbus A380 parked side-by-side.

[@kennygoetz2010]

Awesome, always a pleasure to witness the Queen in her final years, thank you.

[@bs2502]

Hey Kenny I fully agree with you about her. I don't think there are too many people who don't hold a spot in their hearts for this beautiful old girl. She has literally flown millions of us probably billions of miles safely and comfortably. At least for me, she is part of every awesome adventure or trip I have ever taken, good times and sad. The old Queen makes me sentimental every time.

Thanks for this. My CNS-BNE-LAX connection was so tight that I had no time to see any of the airport.

Yes she was the best in the skyi flew out of brissy many times on her and its a pity airlines look for more fuel economy aircraft.787 dreemliner now. but to think she was built in 1970 is unbelievable now days Long live the Queen as a cargo aircraft 747 dash 8

[@farhanashraf808]

Very nice enjoyed nice flight good airline Korean nice landing captain Lee good job

[@RMR1]

I always sleep well on planes but never so soundly as on a 747. Not sure why -- maybe the sound of those four big engines? I flew first class several times on the 200 in the mid-1990s -- that was a treat -- including once when I was the only passenger upstairs. Only 12 (I think) seats in that model, but still, I felt like I had my own private jet.

[@lordmashie]

Gotta say I do miss the bright red GSE from before all the ground handling was outsourced. They really complete the look of a Qantas plane in the middle of a turnaround.

[@rnguyen73]

She looks beautiful. I love ❤️ Boeing 747

[@davidcole333]

I was impressed with the Brisbane terminal, the natural lighting was fantastic. The Qantas 747 has to be one of the most beautiful airliners flying today. Super video, thanks for focusing on the flying, not the food!

[@theodoretrisvei6762]

Qantas, is an excellent airline!!!

[@lourensjacobsakaturbo8147]

Hello Los Angeles hopefully one day I’ll be there and I’ll be very excited to come to the city of angels

[@flygwada971]

Fantastic filming. Mythic aircraft going on retirement soon. QOTS is a beauty....

[@nathanfitzgerald6651]

One thing I'll say about Qantas: it's one of the few major airlines which has never had a major crash and never actually killed a passenger (to the best of this yank's knowledge, correct me if I'm wrong). I'd say that's a record they should be proud of and advertise all the time. Anyway, I'm guessing this about a 13 hour flight?

[@williamwilkins2279]

Nice videos of the interior cabin! Wish more people who made flight videos would do that.

[@philippefournet6999]

very nice , and 747 will be always a perfect plane

[@lepee5830]

Extremely well made video. Congratulations.

[@esmeraldotpineda4507]

Hi nice air plane 747hahaha wow end wow , god bless us

[@lenny108]

nice video! It is an amazing accomplishment to construct such a plane. But what is even more astounding is that it is constructed in such a way that nothing can break. Especially when flying ten thousand miles over water

Aircraft looks great hopefully Qantas will hang onto the 747ER's abit longer than 2020. a shame Wunala is no longer in its aboriginal livery that looks really great.

[@michaelzilkowsky2936]

I took the LA to Australia trip 5 times, figuring I better ride the 747s while I still can. I returned via Brisbane the past 2 trips in Nov of 2016 and 2017. Always got seat 71K, as there are only 2 seats, and as soon as everyone else was asleep I would visit the cabin crew in the galley and we would talk about the spectacularity of the 747..... I had very good luck in getting cockpit tours upon landing (asking upon boarding if it would be possible to go up after landing), and on descent into LA in Nov 2017 the stewardess told me to gather my carry on as they were putting me in the upper deck in order to make it quicker to get into the cockpit after parking. Unfortunately, Qantas is removing the 747 from US service in Oct, so I am SOL for having another ride. I went to Frankfurt with Lufthansa because I wanted a ride on a 747-8; it was everything I hoped for except at only 8hrs from Chicago, it hardly pays to unbuckle your seatbelt in comparison to the 13 hr LA to BNE route....lol Thanks for posting your video; it reinforces all my good memories of BNE international and Qantas 747s.

Saddest part is that come September this route (QF15 / 16) will be flown by the 787; and the last daily 747 service in and out of Brisbane will be gone. I work 2km from the end of runway 19 (the one in your video); I will miss this baby screaming overhead around morning tea time...

I fly many times from London to Australia personally the best flight I had was with emirates with a stop in Dubai great fly and great service, personally the direct fly to Australia from Lhr to Perth considering the fly to Melbourne is too long, so I prefer have one stop and continue. Maybe fly on first class could be much better but is too expensive

It was not an inflight service review but good enough we had a good look at the loo, it's moisterising soap, the panel saying "not smoking" sign in the toilets etc. and too bad we didn't get a chance to see you taking a leak or more, sitting on it like a king ;-) !
