I think I will wait until these A380's are "broken in" before getting on one if I have the choice.

- FabHK 9y agoA380: first flight 2005, about 215 built B787: first flight 2009, about 600 built A350: first flight 2013, about 100 built Off the three, I'd mostly avoid the 787. I still find the A380 the most comfortable, due to all the space. Lower cabin altitude in 787 and 350 is nice, but doesn't compensate for cramped conditions. I'm a bit concerned about bleed air. (The high pressure air to maintain cabin pressure comes from the compressor stage of the engines, and could be contaminated with oil/fuel/?, and so far only the 787 has done away with that ("bleedless aircraft").) But, damn, that spacious A380 cabin.
- JshWright 9y agoThe 787 also has a saner UX for primary flight controls (linked yokes, rather than independent sidesticks).
- brohee 9y ago10 years not good enough for you? Do you only fly 727?
