Saw the A380

Saw the A380 parked at the gate as we were taxing out to the runway yesterday; from afar, it was not that big but I am sure it was massive. It's flying between SIN and SYD. And you have to pay more to fly this A380 even though the fuel consumption is 25% better than a Boeing. I can see you have to pay more for the Biz and First class; as they are much bigger than anything you have seen. You can even reserve First Class cabin for two. The flight attendants will remind you that the cabins are not sound proved.

I am not sure if I like flying the A380 to anywhere; think about the amount of people will deplane and fight their ways to the immigration hall; imagine if you are frustrated currently with people taking up the entire jetway after deplaning; think about how much more you will be frustrated. And the washroom; good thing this giant is not flying in between any Chinese cities yet!
