So, Bruce-

Does Economy Class in the basement of the A-380 qualify as "Steerage" or "Ballast?"

Yes.


Like Bruce, most of my flying was a few meters (or more) behind the driver. A couple of flights were in front of the driver which is an available feature on B747. (and using a pile of frequent flyer miles)
Only managed 105,000 miles last year though. The previous decade's average was higher.

Sure, but now you've gone and asked them to count and confused them.

Oh, that!
