A380 Experience

Recently I went to Hong Kong with my son to see my grandson, Christian. We flew Qantas QF127 from Sydney to Hong Kong on 8Apr (Sunday). Qantas began flying Airbus A380 between Sydney and Hong Kong on Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday and Boeing 747 on other days from January, 2012. We took the opportunity to try the A380 with that trip.
The A380 is a double-deck aircraft. The first class and economy class are on main deck, and business and premium economy class are on upper deck. Total capacity is 450 passengers with 14 first class, 72 business class, 32 premium economy class and 332 economy passenger seats. Boarding was a bit lengthy given the large passenger loads. Luckily we had boarding priorities as being Qantas frequent flyers. Inflight facilities were new and clean. Inflight entertainments were satisfactory with sufficient varieties. Cabin was generally spacious. Seat space was simillar to other aircrafts. Like boarding, baggage collection took longer than usual with the passenger loads. Overall, the journey was comfortable and enjoyable.
