An excellent thread. I'm sure many people will find it useful. I have read accounts of Y experience on the A380 in other threads and hope they can at least be linked from this one.
When boarding this huge craft, is there more then one entrance or do all rows (50 through 94) board from one door?
I think it depends on the airport. At some (like SFO) they use three jetbridges with two for the lower deck. At others they only use one for the upper deck and one for the lower but may operate boarding by zone (e.g. NRT).
Is the service good, very good, OK, or lacking?
I've only flown in F and had a mixed experience.
Is there zone boarding on such a large craft?
Please see above.
Specific to Frankfurt, where is the boarding area for this craft? What
gates handle the A380?
C13-16 as already mentioned. These gates allow boarding on two levels.
