But folks travelling on the A380 in economy will not exactly be slumming it. This plane offers much more room for long legs that may prevent air travel-induced illnesses like deep vein thrombosis.
It is, no doubt, a spacious plane.
This flight offered 399 economy seats.
Singapore Airlines went with the spirit of these Internet times (the jet age, er, was last century) and auctioned seats for this first flight on eBay. The proceeds went to charity.
The airplane plans to press 18 more of these jets into service.
India will get its first A380 in 2011 when Kingfisher Airlines accepts delivery for it.
