Thanks SPC Robert Coventry for sharing the news that no US Airlines are operating &47s. However many international carriers are.
1. British Airways still operates 36 of the 747-400, but plans to retire the jumbo jet by 2024. It flies to several US cities, including on the busy London Heathrow–New York-JFK route.
2. Although KLM has announced plans to retire its 747-400 fleet, there's no publically-announced timeline. The airline still flies the plane on a few routes, including Los Angeles–Amsterdam.
3. Air China flies two variations of the 747: the -400, and the newer -8. Catch it to Beijing from US cities including New York and San Francisco.
4. The South Korean airline Asiana operates several 747s on its routes, including a few to the US.
5. The flag carrier of Israel, El Al operates six 747-400s, servicing cities including New York, London, and Paris.
6. Lufthansa's 747-400 and 747-8 grace the skies on routes between Frankfurt and cities including Orlando, Seattle, Denver, Boston, Houston, and New York's Newark airport.
7. Korean Air flies the 747-400 and 747-8 on some of its US routes, although many are serviced by the A380. Catch the 747 on some flights from Honolulu, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and occasionally New York.
8. While the Australian airline is in the process of retiring its 747 fleet to make way for Boeing 787 Dreamliners, you can still hop on the jumbo jet flying between Australia and the US, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, and even making a trip between LA and New York.

US airlines have said goodbye to the 747 — but these foreign airlines still fly the iconic plane
As Delta retires the last US-based 747, opportunities to fly on the famous plane are shrinking.

As we were taxiing to take off the pilot drew our attention to the new 757.
