Why the A380 failed
-
The engines are huge.
We walked into one at LHR from a mobile staircase in the tarmac. We walked right by the engine which had a diameter greater than my height. I said ‘wow, look at the size of that engine’ to my son, thinking he would be impressed. He rolls his eyes at me and says ‘it’s a GE 90, Dad, of course it’s huge. He was 9.

Thai Airlines has/had some A380's. For me mostly, it seemed like a regular plane. They boarded/deboarded on two levels, so unless you went to the stairs on the plane and went up or down, just seemed like each floor was a regular plane. LOL
re:747. Loved sitting in the upper cabin. Kind of like your own private plane. Probably my favorite.
