The world's largest passenger airliner touched down at JFK yesterday. The NY Daily News has a thorough description of the "superjumbo jet" that includes amenities such as an on-board lounge with a massage system, bathrooms where passengers can shower, and an entertainment system with more than 1,200 channels to choose from. The Emirates Airbus A380 completed its 13 1/2 hour flight from Dubai in such comfort that passengers "felt like they had just emerged from a heavenly limousine ride. " The A380 burns 20% less fuel and costs 17% less to fly than the standard 747-400.

Sure, you'll get that kind of experience on an Emirates flight to Dubai, but remember that these giant beer cans can be configured for up to 900 passengers. Guess how most of you will be going over the pond on Virgin Atlantic.
Yea, sad to say it, but its only a matter of time before that happens...
Hell Economy in an A380 (Singapore or Emirates) is better than business class on an AA/Delta 777. (Cept for the leg room)
1,200 channels!? There must be tons of language channels.
Price of a 1st class ticket from JFK to Dubai.......$14,635!!
