The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine airliner manufactured by the European corporation Airbus, a subsidiary of EADS. The largest passenger airliner in the world, the A380 made its maiden flight on 27 April 2005 from Toulouse, France, and made its first commercial flight on 25 October 2007 from Singapore to Sydney with Singapore Airlines. The aircraft was known as the Airbus A3XX during much of its development phase, but the nickname Superjumbo has since become associated with it.Link

But I was SOOO close to flying this plane on Emirates last summer. My flight was from New York to Dubai, and the ticket said we would be flying on the A380, and I was so excited, and then I checked the online booking thing, and it said something about Boeing 777-200. So I was all, "Okay, maybe they need to update the site", but then I went on the plane, and the safety video was all, "Welcome to this Boeing 777-200..." and I was really mad, because that means I flew on the world's SECOND biggest passenger airplane. :( Oh well -- the service was really good.
And is it just me, or are there a LOT of airplane-related posts lately? I don't have a problem with it, 'cause I love to travel, and I have lots of stories to share, but still...
