Heard advert on radio that SA have ordered some of these new planes.

Does anyone know when these will be in service and are the prices gonna increase to pay for them or be cheaper as they seat more passengers?

Wouldnt mind flying on one of them.

There was talk about these planes last year and im sure they said it wont be till 2006 before they are in use. We wont be using them as were hoping to be there by then lol

Can you imagine the wait for luggage & immigration with all those people

Correct, they have along with Qantas, Virgin & Emeriates (the ones I can think of who fly to OZ). Were due to fly in 2006 but they keep getting delayed (latest by 6 months). I can't see the prices changing much due to the aircraft alone.

Did a little thread in the lounge on these new super planes.....

There is no chance that airlines are going to sacrifice seats for casinos, gyms, swimming pools or whatever. Just more and more cattle!! Besides the A380 is already overweight before you start adding all that sort of stuff... it would be uneconomical to fly.

Would be nice though!!

Yeah, I agree with you.

Nice to show all that fancy stuff and lots of room to impress people but there won't be much of that in practice eh.

I like the air hostess uniform....

Personally, I thought the skirt was a tad too long
