Eh... I like Austin Powers' 747 better... yeah, baby...

One day  ::)

HOLY S@%#
whatta sweet plane
(im talking about the interior)

A little too big in my opinion.

Crash (digging in the backyard, looking for oil....)

Because the picture is actually not from a private A380. The interior is meant for first class. Private A380 would be fancier.

Why would you want that?  You can't really go to many cities or anything  ::)  I'd rather have something along the lines of a BBJ or 727, there is a lot more versatility.

The width - 353 cm at widest, much less than that at head level - is restrictive.

767, A310, DC-10 and Tristar are much more versatile. And do not have the footprint of an A380.

Id take a good old 172!

Of course, if I had to get a private airliner, you can be sure as hell its designation would start and end with 7.

But there's so much more leeeeegroom!

I'll take it.

So, no interest in Boeing 720?

It was actually initially marketed as the 717.

Besides, I was raised in the two-crew cockpit age.

I'd get lonely on the A380.  Call to your flight attendendent...

"Could I get some coffee?"
"Sure thing sir, I'll be right back"

2 HOURS LATER

"Here's your coffee, sorry it's a little cold"
"What took so long"
"The walk to the front of the plane is a long one..."

A380-800 cannot match the length, much less the legroom, of either A340-600 or B777-300.

Anyway, you would have flight attendants closer, at least some of them. Under both FAR and JAR rules, the number of flight attendants depends on the number of seats - 1 attendant per each 50 seats. An A380-800 is a 853 seat plane, so you have to have 18 flight attendants at all times. Even if there is just 1 passenger in the whole plane somewhere in the back of coach section.
