What, are BA going back to SEZ then....

I've got to say, from what I've read on FT, I really can't get excited about the A380 as I don't see that it offers any meaningful leap forward in terms of on-board hard product. Same seats by and large, no lounges or bars...I hate to pre-judge these things too much but I'm struggling to see what makes this a leap forward (as opposed to when the first wide-bodies were compared to the 707s/DC8s/VC-10s etc).

OK - it'll have the good IFE system and it'll be quieter. At the same time you'll be sharing your environment with more people. Any one know whether the pax:crew ratios are any different? Will we have 10:1 in CW like we now have on the 744 UD?

Is it just me, or does the the the pax:lav ratio seem rather high on the A380 (same if F admittedly)?
