Kingfish,

Makes
me wonder why they didn't just buy more 747-400s.
The seats are different. Very. Wait for the pics.

Does that justify spending bazillions on new aircraft? I thought the
whole point of A380 was more bodies onboard, then SIA only puts in 471
seats? Does't make sense to me.


It may if you are riding in one of the seats. I now avoid airline as
much as possible. I will drive 8 hours now to avoid an airline trip.
It is just too uncomfortable now to fly unless you have no alternative.
I believe that an airline with an airplane that brings some comfort
back to long distance travel may well perform better financially.
