Airbus A-380
 
Ive been fascinated with this monster of an airplane lately on Youtube. I know th've been in the air now for about 2 years and I cant for the life of me figure out how they even get off the ground! Has anyone ever flown on one and what is it like?

It is unbelievably large- and I swear I was thinking we were going to run out of runway by the time this Goliath took off... but it did! It's pretty roomy inside- I upgraded to an exit row and the seat in front of me was at least ten feet away. And once in the air it wasn't too loud at all. It's definitely a cut above the jumbo jets.

How long is to get out and pick your baggage? If there are hundreds of passengers, I imagine it takes a lot! But maybe there are paralell ways to take out the baggage

I was at JFK last easter holliday, waiting for my plane to Lima and I started to see some stewardesses, orient shape, very beautiful, but they were 2, 4... 8.. 10.. like 20 !!! I thought Why that much? So I walked to the gate where they were boarding.. and the A380 was there. Huge, majestic, AWESOME.

It was Emirates Airlines.
