How many passengers are they fitting on this baby in a 28" configuration?

The 747-300's held about 500 passengers in an all Y configuration.

Ouch... my eyes  Sad. The TUI colour scheme looks like crap on the 744!

Maddy,
"who paints aircraft babyblue??" KLM?!?!

KLM's baby blue is much classier than TUI's, and looks much better.

I seeeee. Well its not going to be the best looking 744 in the sky. But on the 'bright' side, you will know what it is on a 10 mile final!!

Gilesdavies,

Configuration of Corsair's B744 should be 29C/558Y = 587 seats.
29 C + 36 Y at the U/D and the rest Y on the main deck...

The flying blue condom...extra large. What an offence to the eye! The B747-400 does not deserve that! Embarrassment

The tail is actually in blue with Corsair own logo and it will stay like that.

I will miss their current design. That tail desin in the original colors was one of my favourite. Now it's just plain and boring!

Hi,

That looks awful! Worse then Thomsonfly.com even! I think it would better or at least less of an eyesore if it hadn't received '.fr' titles?
