Thumbs up Which is the best A380 operator?

Reading through the blog below it got me wondering which is your favourite A380 operator? Which of the A380 airlines gets your pulse racing the most?

http://backpackerlee.wordpress.com/2...the-best-a380/

Which of the 10 has the most impressive overall product over the 3/4 classes?

For me, Singapore Airlines is the most prestigious, although I do love Thai Airways and Korean Air's A380 for different reasons, and, well, Emirates is just Emirates.

Should a certain airline offer economy on its upper deck? Should they have bars for business class passengers? Should all airlines have enclosed first class suites? Should they get rid of the A380's first class altogether? And is it really necessary to have spas and art museums onboard the A380?

Having flown A380 on most airlines that have it (just missing Air France), my favourites are the ones flown in first

These lists are worthless without some organising methodology. SQ's F cabin is as meaningless to a Y flyer as the punctuality of Jakarta's bus service is to a Kansas high school student.

^ - all best and worst lists are purely subjective.

Well in that case, without the flying experience, it would be like window shopping. Which airline can you see that has the best facilities? For example, Air France and their ridiculous art gallery, or Emirates and the onboard shower spa?

Since you asked, the Lufthansa A380 business class seat is one of the worst I've ever be subjected to. Never again.

I have never flown LH biz but from the pics it does look a little weird. Not very ergonomic. Is that what was your bugbear?
