CA still have a couple on domestic trunk route but I highly doubt you can get access to the fly deck.

Do you want to take pictures of the cockpit of a B747-400 or from the cockpit of a B747-400.

I do hope Thai keep to their words. They also have a lot of reasons to keep the 747. For one, they have some very dense international routes, and they don't have the A380 capacity to fill them all like Singapore or Emirates. Thailand is also a hugely popular holiday destination, so if anything, I'd expect them to recover the quickest in passenger demands.CA still have a couple on domestic trunk route but I highly doubt you can get access to the fly deck.
I am in China at the moment, so I will definitely try it. COVID is basically stomped out in China now and traveling between minimal risk areas is quite easy. I'm almost 100% confident they won't let me into the flight deck at any time, but that won't stop me from asking (and maybe begging ).
