Emirates’ Airbus A380

Wednesday, August 6, 2008 around 6 pm mountain time

A first-hand photographic and video-graphic look at Emirates Airlines’ newest Airbus A380. Jude and I originally said we’d never want to fly on this plane, but after a second or third look, I think we’ve changed our minds. 

Photos and video of an in-flight tour of an Emirates Airbus A380, a passenger jet that can be configured to carry more than 850 passengers at a time. This particular plane had room for 399 economy, 76 business class, and 14 first class passengers (ensconced in suites, not just seats). There was a bar, showers for first class passengers, video cameras on the tail, nose, and underside of the plane that you can watch during the flight, and a relatively soundproof cabin (even during takeoff).
