Youīre right that many pax specifically want to fly on the 380, but why exactly, is beyond me.

In Y thereīs a 3-4-3 config, I canīt imagine how thatīs any better than a 2-3-2 config on the 764 or the 2-4-2 config on other Airbus planes.

The C seats are the same crappy C seats installed on all other planes. I found the second, smaller C cabin to be pretty nice, but the large C cabin with some 70 C seats didnīt look too inviting.

The only reason I may want to fly the 388 again is the new F product, but apart from that I really donīt see the point of booking a flight on the 388.
