I won't miss it. I personally don't understand the "flight experience" argument. What makes the most difference is the seat. I rather have the new J seat on a B777 than the old one on the A380. And the P cabin is clearly inferior.
Fully agreed. Premium cabins had antique seats and video and the A380 had too many maintenance problems.

I avoided it on AF, but enjoyed it a couple of times a year on QR, especially with a huge bar area at the back. Was also quite pleasant on BA with huge toilets.

Anyway covid means that A380 will be gone on most airlines using just a few of them, and even EK is considering speeding up the retirement of 46 ac.
