Title: Airbus A380 @ PER
Post by: sam051 on October 14, 2008, 07:34:28 am: Hello,

Just thought i would say that about 1 and a half hours ago I was standing 60mtrs away from the Qantas Airbus A380 outside, at Perth International Airport. Ugly in pictures, a beauty in life. ;)

Unfortunately, no. :(

My camera had no batteries, my phone doesn't have a camera, my mum forgot to bring her camera phone, my sisters camera phone was in use taking stupid pictures of her and her boyfriend :P

Oh well, next generation maybe XD

Post by: Seattle on October 16, 2008, 05:51:41 am: I got to see an SQ A380 from the side and behind in Singapore at 10:30 at night! However, it was very dark and there was alot of fog on the windows of the plane, so I could not see very well outside. However, despite the rest of the plane sleeping, I enjoyed it highly! 8)

we will see what happens

Post by: CHR on October 17, 2008, 10:08:11 am: I flew on the Singapore A380 last year, I even got a seat up the top (at the back end, though...). It was quite nice and new, and quieter than 747s too.

Outside, I think it was the only commercial one operating when we went on it.

Note the Christmas decorations in the cabin. It all looks pretty messy after a long flight.

A few shots of the in flight entertainment, it was very modern. You could even edit Word docs, PowerPoints, spreadsheets etc. The controller had a mini keyboard in it. Click to get big version.

Post by: Pavel on October 17, 2008, 06:07:10 pm: Awsome, I'd love to have flight on one of those! First Class would be awsome.
Title: Re: Airbus A380 @ PER
Post by: CHR on October 18, 2008, 02:42:55 am: The first class on Singapore looked really good but apparently Emirates is better. They not only get their own cabin, but a shower and a shared lounge with business class. I want to go first class on Emirates!
