The Final International Voyage of a United Boeing 747 Is Now Complete; No Special Arrival Ceremony

Passengers disembark United Airlines Flight 892 at San Francisco (SFO) after its arrival from Seoul Incheon (ICN) – the final international voyage of a United Boeing 747. It’s hard to imagine there will never again be a United B747 foreign flight arrival. One can only imagine how many hundreds of thousands – or perhaps even millions – of times that this scene has taken place since United received its first 747 in August 1970, 47 years ago.

I walk off the jetway at SFO Gate B96 and into the arrivals corridor. There is no special welcome for us. No pomp and circumstance. You have to look through a frosted window to the boarding area to see the Boeing 747. It’s kind of a bummer there’s nowhere to even get a picture of the jumbo jet after its final international arrival. I was hoping there would be a balloon archway, gift bags, or something special as we emerge from the final United 747 international flight. But passengers just walk off the jetway into the international arrivals corridor and that’s that.
