My flight was aboard a spanking new Airbus A 380 – illustration taken form the British Airways website. This aircraft seat some 469 passengers on tow decks and takes off nearly vertically. It reached cruising altitude in about half the time of comparable aircraft.
So even though I have suffered extreme jet lag since returning it proved to be an interesting and smooth flight back to London Heathrow.
The photo is a little truncated since the aircraft is over 72 metres in length but I wanted to give you an idea of just how impressive this aircraft is.
