Its worth noting that the A380 (which is not carbon composite) also has a ~6000 foot cabin pressure, as does the A350 - they also humidify the air to a higher degree because the components are designed to handle it compared to most older plane designs. Both which help with comfort as you mentioned.
- donkeyd 7y agoHad a 12 hour A380 flight last year. Lufthansa has some slightly more expensive economy seats on the upper deck in the tail section. Those seats were amazing. I've never had a flight as comfortable as that one and the flight crew was great too.

- jwr 7y agoThanks for pointing this out — I was about to write that I found the A380 to be the most comfortable airplane for long-haul trips. I also found it to be quieter than the 787, but haven't actually measured if that's actually the case.
- FabHK 7y agoYes, 380 has great pax comfort. Pity it's being discontinued.
