I'm a fan of BIG, given that, I happen to like the A380.  If it's BIG and it flies, I probably will like it.



That's pretty much the only thing I like about it.
Compared to the 747, it's a bloated pig, looks-wise.  ;D

Cant say I like how it looks.  But its still an interesting aircraft.  But having been on a 747-400 with roughly 350 people I cant say I want to fly on a bird capable of accommodating double that :P

I can't really say that the difference between having 150 people or 400 people is very noticeable in my experience, apart from in the departure lounge...

haha just saw it tonight. I was out for dinner and as we left the place the A380, flaps, gear, and lights all in use, passed over the parking loy on final to Washington-Dulles. THE THING WAS HUGE! It must've been atleast a couple of thousand feet above but it looked soo low! I could clearly see the blue tail with the white A380 letters on it. Really neat man. Shortly after a 737 passed by, looking puny....
