I have only flown 2 of these in 1250 flights. I am almost certain I will get to fly the A380 in the near future.

My main goal now is to fly the upper deck of the 747 which despite 3 flights in (two in Business/First) I have still not done. I think my best hope is Upper Class MAN-MCO (VS but DL code share) - then onward to ATL and DAY/CVG - or the reverse of course.

My first 747 was in 1973; TWA 747 - LAX - SFO (continued TPAC from SFO): I spent most of the flight in the upper level bar (no passenger seating up there).
