Huge Airplanes

We should also note that some of the flights these airliners make take quite some time, especially when they fly across continents. Whereas I am not into luxury when it comes to traveling; I am just concerned about reaching my destination; having a bed, if the technology is making it available, is more like a necessity than a luxury. I have never been to a plane as big as that one. Obviously safety comes first. 555 is quite a number.

I have never been on a 380 before. The biggest one is 747 which was developed some decades ago. Planes are getting bigger because people can now support moving from country to country because of increase in living standard. Just take a look at any of those busy airports around the world and you have a clue just how many people are traveling by plane. Having bigger planes mean that more people can share the fixed cost of the plane and therefore help pushing the fare even lower which in turn encourage more people to travel on planes. This is what all those airliners are thinking about. :)

I have been on large aircraft but never on such a huge plane as the airbus 380. I travel in economy class almost every time unless I get a free upgrade. There is usually a row of seats and not much legroom. There are fold down trays and the seat can recline a little. I imagine the beds are for business class passengers or those flying first class. Safety is my main concern far more than the size of the plane. I like to get a window seat and face forwards.
