It's size is an advantage IMO because it creates feeling of more space. also the plane is very quiet. Generally I prefer the larger aircraft like a380, 747 and a340 to smaller aircraft which I feel are more claustrophobic. I'm not a fan of the 777 though as it is noisy and the J cabins in many cases feel like they try to squeeze too many seats in. It has a similar problem in Y, regardless of whether they sit 9 across or 10, the seating layouts are horrible, ; this is the real cattle truck, not the a380.

I agree - big birds can enhance the feeling for general space and overall comfort... The A380 is super quiet and I love LH & SQ's C. Hopefully TG will make me as happy!

Anyone have insight if the A380 C class will be enhanced on the new double decker whale

Cheers,
