I have also booked on the KLM 747-400M that serves ORD-AMS next year. KLM, I believe is the last large operator of the type.

A combi sounds great if our route map has routes for the plane, since cargo is heavy the combi has a shorter range then a full passenger 744. The Asia Pacific airlines had only full passenger 744 because the distances they fly to America and Europe, When Boeing offered the 747-8 no combi was offered.
