As neat as it might be, I don't think I could handle the crowds on a flight on an Airbus A380.



Check out the coach section... 3 seats at each window, and four more in the middle... gah.

Update: For comparison, here's a typical 747 seating layout, with 416 passengers in 3 classes.

No, they're not even flying yet. The A380 enters service next year, it's just test flights right now. For comparison, the new Boeing jet enters service in 2008, and is much smaller. They're making very different bets.

Have you always been this into planes? Or are you just one of those well-informed folks who knows a lot about everything? :-)

A little bit of column A, and a little bit of column B. My plane interest has definitely bloomed in the past couple years, not sure why. But I'm know around work as the easiest way to get a piece of information -- most people come to me before they go to Google. :)
