Last night I flew from Jo'burg, to Paris on AirFrance's newly acquired Airbus A380 Superjumbo, double decker jet (pic taken shortly before boarding - notice the double gangway system).
This is the largest passenger plane in existence, and transports just under 600 people.
6am arrival at CDG - in the pilot's words a 'merveilleux' machine. The take off, effortless, and one of the smoothest in memory (could also have had something to do with the tranquilizers).
Its quiet and spacious and the bathrooms even have digital water tap temp controls (tres cool). Its like being on a cruise liner, only without the smoking deck.
All I can say is, chapeau Airbus!

Hehehe - Looks great. You were never happy about flying though. Makes me wonder why you chose to be a jet setter :).
