I've been lucky enough to fly on an A380 3 times going to and from Australia. It is by far the most comfortable long haul aircraft I've been on and I've been on most of the commercial ones. Part of that may have to do with the cabin being setup a certain way for Qantas. If AA had one I bet they could find a way to F it up. If anyone has the chance to fly to Australia choose Qantas. It may cost a little more than United or something but it's worth it IMO.

Well if they come in from the south next time, there you go! Heard Qantas will be running six days a week non-stop to Australia.

Its the longest flight in the world from Austraila to DFW.

I used to live right there on Mid Cities Blvd back when 360 ended right at 183... one night we went through a field and over a fence and got on the grass at the end of the runway to watch the planes land. We were tripping on acid and holy shit that was a bad ass thing to see, with all the lights and laying there staring at the underside of the airplanes as they flew right over us...
