Airbus A 380
All AgitProp, all the time... has an image of the new double-decker Airbus and shudders to wonder "how long it would take to get off the plane if you're not in First or Business Class..." On the plus side are the Airbus A 380 interiors.

I want to see the cattle class sections! Will the rows be ten deep!?!

Cattle class will probably be stacked in tubes at some point and hooked to a catheter so you don't get up to move around.

No way will those interiors come to pass. They had the same ideas for the 747, complete with pictures. The airlines decided to fill them with seats instead.

Cheers for the link, Nick. :)

There hasn't been a proper cocktail lounge in a commercial passenger liner since the Pan Am clippers - you're right; these are just bait and switch pictures from Airbus. Expect the usual snug first and business classes, and glorified steerage for the hoi polloi.

The key word in those images is "Emirates". If Air Canada ever flies these monsters I expect to be crammed in somewhere but I expect Emirates will hold on to some of that glamour.
