Hope this link opens up for all to view. Big, Big Airplane ~ 800 PLUS PASSENGERS Airbus A-380 First Landing at SFO.....NOW THIS IS REALLY WORTH WATCHING. The pilots sit away from everything, no yoke, etc. Captain pulls up a keyboard once in a while to enter info but the plane does most of the work..... It seems extensively automated. The air traffic controller gives them heading, altitude and speed, and they dial it in. Pretty interesting. For best results go "full screen" on your monitor . It will seem like you are in the cockpit. www.wimp.com/approachlanding/

I've flown in the A380, from Dubai to London. Economy on Emirates Airlines on the 380 is better than 1st class Air Canada. Almost zero noise, very little sensation of flight, other than the take-off and landing. My most comfortable flight yet.
