Yes, I meant to say 5. Jet lag, you know!

So my driver lied to me about Airbus?

The A 380 will mainly be using terminal 3 and that is A380 ready with
strengthen ramps and taxiways already done. In addition they double deck
loading piers are also in place.


Huh. I flew out of 3 last week. (What an awful design! You walk for
what seems like miles, a la Miami airport.) Some gates were closed
off; perhaps those were the double-deckers?
