Have flown the A380 multiple times, and there simply is no comparison. It beats the 747 so badly on comfort, it’s like comparing a 1970s Ford with a new Rolls Royce.
PS
The flight out of IAD was overbooked and I was offered a rebooking on a direct flight to my ultimate destination. Declined, as I really wanted to fly the -8I. They won’t be around for long, and opportunities to fly them are few and far between. Glad that I did, but wouldn’t go out of my way to do so again. It was a disappointment to be honest, exacerbated by the seriously sub-par C-class offering from Lufty. The A380, on the other hand, I will exploit nearly every opportunity to fly on that. Except if it’s LH.
Please let me make sure that I understand.
"It beats the 747 so badly on comfort" but "It was a disappointment to be honest, exacerbated by the seriously sub-par C-class offering from Lufty." and then you write that "The A380, on the other hand, I will exploit nearly every opportunity to fly on that. Except if it’s LH."
So it would appear that the LH business class is the main reason for your dislike of the 788i.
