Favourite part about flying a B747 or an A380

Hi guys, have you’ve ever flown one of these magnificent beasts. What was your favourite part about it? I’m curious about what they love about the king and the Queen of the skies.

I hate the A380 windows lol. Too small and too far from the outside to get a better angle of viewing.

This was back in 2013. There was about 8 near the middle of the economy cabin, and I think 6 or so more near the back. Idk about the front

The comfort and available space of an A380. I’ve been lucky enough to be able to fly business class on several airliners, but the available space you have with your seat and to simply move around on an A380 is unrivalled compared to that on other aircraft.

You are very Lucky @bensonb

I’ve flown on both the A380 and 747 a couple times, and the 747 is much better. Don’t know why the A380 windows are so small but they are and that sucks. Other than that, I prefer flying the A380 since it’s quieter, and there’s usually a lot of space.

The fact that it’s bigger than a 737, which I always travel on and it’s so boring

My favorite part about flying on one will be when I fly on one.

I’ve been on a 747-400 and the a380.My favourite part about flying the a380 was just how quiet it was. My favourite part of flying the 747 was just knowing the fact I was in one. I was in one of the most iconic aircraft ever made! That is a memory in itself!

Flew on Lufthansa 747-8 to Johannesburg. Fantastic flight, you can read my review if you want!

My favourite part was probably the landing in Jo, lovely African landscape

I’ve also been on the A380! Frankfurt to Singapore.

My favourite part was how surprisingly smooth the aircraft flew, was hard to imagine back then given it’s sheer size

I was on that same flight. Done it out 6 times and back. I love the A380. While I agree that the windows are quite small, I think it is so spacious. A dream to fly on!

I’ve flown on many Emirates A380 flights between Dubai & Munich. ( 13 flights on the A380 ) Last one was on August 2015.

Loved every second of it!

The A380 Is ridiculously spacious! 😍 It Is also very quiet to the point where some people won’t even know that they’ve taken off lol.

Also there Is plenty of space, enough for you to walk through the Cabin and stretch your legs!

One of the fun things I do onboard an A380 Is to sit on the forward stairs at some point during the flight!

I’ve flown on a 747 as a Christmas present I believe, and an A380 for my birthday.
I thought they were amazing, at 9 years old I didn’t think much of the 747 but I still found it amazing
And the A380… boy oh boy… I sat on the upper-deck. It was a once- in a life time experience.

I’ve flown that route many times as well! Did you never get the 777? I reckon I’ve flown the A380 just as much as the 777 on this route.
