Well, it's ouch time for the airports then, because Airbus do indeed envisage multi-level boarding, with F and C on the upper deck and Y on the lower. This is how some Asian airports seem to board 747-400s, with two jetways, albeit both to the main deck. Part of the rationale behind the A380 double deck (as opposed to extra wide or extra long) was to segregate the premium class boarding from the masses.

United uses dual jetways even in the U.S. for its 747s and 777s. One jetway is for First/Business/Elite and the other for everyone else.
