Additionally, I believe the 777s air quality isn't as good as the A380s, so you won't be as refreshed or comfortable in the flight. The direct aisle access on the A380 is certainly a big plus, and I find the cabin to feel roomier.
I'm 5'5, so fortunately that won't be a problem -- but the direct aisle access was one of the things that has me going "hmm" especially for a flight of that length. I don't relish having to step over people or be stepped over while sleeping or whatever.

I can fly through SFO or LAX, the issue is getting better than economy on the flight back to Seattle. At the moment, nothing is showing up as available in the booking tool, but the flight is ~70 days away so that could just be a system issue - I'll look into those flights and if I can find better class availability, I'll call the travel company and see if they can make sense of the booking. SFO to SEA is such a quick flight, that might not be a bad idea. Thanks for the suggestion!
