    Hi Kiwi Flyer,

    Does the A380 tag lead to some other article? It seems to bring it back to same page.

    Thanks,

    Dracs

  3. The Global Traveller said,

    The A380 tag displays all the posts I’ve done on A380 in reverse date order (so this one is at the top). Since I’ve flown Emirates, Qantas and Singapore A380 in both first class and business class there are a few nice comparisons, as well as other A380 news and travel tips.

    Isn’t Lufthansa also starting to fly to San Francisco from Frankfurt….?

  9. The Global Traveller said,

    Yes that was just announced. Sorry I haven’t yet updated the post.

    No routes to go to New Delhi by A380?
    I feel disappointed since not having a route for Brisbane-Bankok-New Delhi with any A380 planes by any airlines.

  11. Daslalakis Dim said,

    A 380 business seats to Tokyo absolutely unconfrontable and not wide at all.Old conventional seats in business now look and feel like the old first class.Unacceptable for Lufthansa..

  12. Dan said,

    Lufthansa just started daily A380 service, Frankfurt to SFO.

  13. The Global Traveller said,

    Thanks. There are also some other updates to this post I need to make.

  14. Tony said,

    A380 service started from Paris to Washingtn DC as of last Wednesday, June 8, 2011. It flys right over my house between 1230 and 1300 on landing to the north. While I love Boeing, I am happy for Airbus and the European achievement.

    Thank you for a well organized summary. Hope to fly the super jumbo myself any year now (TM).

  17. boyan said,

    Interestingly, why does Lufthansa cease to fly A 380 to its US destinations?

  18. Wade said,

    I wish you guys could book my tickets also.
    I travel allot and most travel site dont care about what type of plane, food, or entertainment systems the airlines have.
    If you guys could do this you will make millions.
    I will be your first customer

  19. A Rare Inside Look at a Qantas A380 | Cityb.it | Travel Advice, City Guides, Things to Do, Travel News said,

    [...] BriefsFew folks have had the opportunity to fly on an Airbus A380, let alone even see one.Many airports don’t yet have facilities to accomodate the “superjumbo”. Unless you’re in Frankfurt, Johannesburg, Sydney, Paris, Singapore or one of the two dozen other cities currently serviced by an A380, your chances of crossing paths with the largest passenger airliner in the world are slim. Not to mention that there are only 64 of these planes currently in service on just six seperate airlines. [...]

    Sorry, that is DEC 2011 rather.

    Hello Global Traveller,

    I have my info from flightradar24.com, but after checking lufthansa.com, it seems there is a fault at flightradar24.com, so I apologize for the inconvenience.

    Regards, airbus380fan

  25. The Global Traveller said,

    FRA-SIN-CGK was the old routing before switching from 747 to A380. At the same time MUC-SIN switched to MUC-SIN-CGK.

  26. jan said,

    LH will fly on March 25, 2012 again with a 747-400 from MIA to FRA

  29. Dave said,

    Last year I was fortunate to travel to HKG, vis DBX (from LHR). 1st segment A380 – AWESOME (EVEN IN ECONOMY)2nd segment 777W – so cramped. Fortunately on the return journey Emirates cancelled 777W for a A380 – sheer bliss – Airbus you have an awesome plane – Emirates you have an awesome airline…BA lookout!!!!
