The flight \u2013 United Flight 2704 \u2013 is scheduled to depart Chicago O\u2019Hare on Friday at 6:30 p.m. and arrive in San Francisco at 8:51 p.m., all times local.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">Seats on the flight remained available for purchase Wednesday morning.

United uses its 14 remaining 747s for overseas flights from San Francisco, operating the plane on routes to Beijing, Frankfurt, London Heathrow, Seoul and Taipei.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">United and Delta each still fly Boeing 747s, though both plan to retire the aircraft by the end of the year.
