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

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)

hmmm, i'm going to Europe next year with Emirates to Paris, but I think i would like a stopover in Heathrow, because then i can fly the A380  ;D

we will see what happens

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.

I found some picture on my computer.
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.


Window shot


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.

Awsome, I'd love to have flight on one of those! First Class would be awsome.

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!
