First commercial A380

First commercial A380


- 12 "Suites" heralded as "beyond first class" with seats nearly one meter wide and actual separate beds, none of this folding nonsense. Duvet and cushions designed by Givenchy. Couples traveling together have an option for double beds. 23-inch LCD.

- 60 Business Class seats, 34" wide, with "privacy shells" and height-adjustable dining tables. 15.4-inch LCD, USB ports, in-seat power. Alas, if the poor BC traveler wants to sleep, they'll have to do it in their seat, which folds into a bed (also featuring Givenchy bedding).

- 399 Economy Class seats with 10.6-inch LCD, USB port and in-seat power. EC flyers will sleep the old-fashioned way, i.e. Greyhound-style, and back here your only connection to Givenchy will be reading about them in the in-flight magazine.
