Today (February 20, 2017): Top 10 best\u00a0Airbus\u00a0A380 First Class cabins.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The Airbus\u00a0A380 is the largest and heaviest passenger aircraft in the world. It is 73 meters (240 feet) long, 24 meters (78 feet) high, and has a take-off weight of up to 560 tons. If all the wiring inside the A380 is laid end to end, it will stretch from London to Edinburgh, a distance of 515 km (320 miles). Each of its four engines can develop a thrust of 70,000 pounds. \u2028That\u2019s equivalent to something like 3500 cars all running at full power. Ecologically speaking, the A380 raises the bar. The mega liner uses less fuel, produces very low noise emissions and can even ‘think’ for itself and automatically apply the brakes after landing on the runway. Unfortunately, although the A380 is popular with passengers, Airbus has not enjoyed the sales success it had hoped for since the aircraft is\u00a0too large for those airlines that prefer\u00a0frequency over capacity at their hub airports. Only 13 airlines across the globe operate the megaplane, but that hasn’t stopped them from creating\u00a0spectacular and game-changing First Class products onboard their flagship A380 planes. Here’s my overview of the 10 most astonishing First Class cabins offered on the A380.<\/p>\n

10. BRITISH AIRWAYS<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n

The UK’s national carrier offers\u00a0dedicated service, exceptional comfort and understated British elegance onboard its 12 A380 planes. The\u00a0First Class suite – 14 in total per A380, all located on the lower deck\u00a0– is a haven of style and comfort where sophisticated and contemporary British design meet impeccable service and attention to detail (although it does feel more like an excellent Business Class seat rather than a genuine First Class product). Whenever you want some rest, the crew will turn your seat into a 198 cm (6 feet and 6 inches) fully flat bed with a luxurious quilted mattress, crisp white cotton duvet and pillow while you slip into a pair of wonderfully soft cotton pajamas. You will also feel refreshed during your flight with British Airways’ new exclusive Liberty London amenity kit designed exclusively for First, containing selected Aromatherapy Associates essentials. Remarkably, British Airways’ Boeing 787-9 dreamliner aircraft (read here<\/a> my trip report) features a more advanced First Class product as compared to the A380.<\/p>\n
