Airbus A380 with its raised level of comfort in flight to inaccessible to the rest of the aircraft altitude. The entire second floor is occupied by business and first class. Chairs are arranged in beds and mattresses give passengers for convenience. Each passenger seat next to your fridge with drinks, and in the tail can sit in a full bar, idly discussing the problems start Hadron kollaidera with talkative bartender. What can we say, if the nose of the aircraft with 2 spacious showers. The first time I had never wanted to flight ends.





Before the trip to the Air Show in Le Bourget, my friend Sergei aviator_ru Martirosyan has issued me a press card, which I showed the stewardess and they gave me a real tour of the aircraft ... The passengers of economy class and business class on a plane go through different jetways and separated from each other during the flight:



In each row, set of 4 chairs:







Passengers give socks, mask for sleeping and stickers on a chair to steward knew how to behave in the event that you fall asleep:





Shoe has a special compartment under the mattress in the footwell:





Decomposes into a chair almost horizontal bed. My height is 182 cm, but I kicked the wall is not rested. Places enough:



After dinner, my bed and put a mattress pad:



Before each passenger installed 17-inch touchscreen, electrical outlet, 2 USB (do not know why), triple jack and remote control entertainment system, combined with a satellite phone:



Just every seat has a great remote control, which also controls the lighting, seat position and includes a massage mode back and seat:



The aircraft has several external cameras and passenger can choose any of them:





It is particularly interesting to observe the flight through the tail camera. It is seen as the plane dives into the clouds when landing:



At the airport, using the same camera, you feel (a hissing word!) The size of the A380:



There's also a mode showing the location of the aircraft on the map:





In the tail is a bar, where free pour strong and soft drinks:







At the front all the time updated trays of sandwiches and cakes:



Along the walls are 2 sofa with seat belts:



Fly "at the bar" insanely nice and comfortable. Flight goes unnoticed:



For dinner, I chose a light salad with shrimp:



In A380 5 toilets on the second floor and 10 on the ground, in economy class:









In addition to the toilets, in the nose, there are two showers for first-class passengers. However, it is necessary to order them for an hour before use, and water flows only 5 minutes:













In first-class passengers a bar where drinks are exclusive, but no bartender:



Next to the shower descends down a grand staircase leading to the first floor to the cockpit and in Economy Class:

In the tail of the ship, there is another staircase:



On the ground floor is set 396 seats in economy class:





In the center of the cabin hidden 2 lounges crew. Here, at the same time can sleep 9 people:





Pilots separate room:





And at the end of a few facts about this aircraft:

On the plane, 14 first class seats, 76 business-class seats and 396 economy class seats. 7-hour flight serves a team of 27 people:

2 pilots

4 senior flight attendant

4 flight attendant in first class

8 flight attendants in business class

8 flight attendants in economy class

1 attendant, cooking showers

During the 14-hour flight to the team added another 2 pilots and 1 attendant. Total 30 people.

Wingspan - 80 meters. Fuel capacity - 240 tons. In the air, the A380 should diverge from other aircraft at a distance of not less than 10 kilometers, as its aerodynamic flows can turn over even humpback Boeing 747.

During the flight, the engine noise is almost inaudible. The cabin is very quiet and the only ventilation rustles the ceiling. All flight attendants are friendly and always smile. Even when they are in the kitchen and think that no one sees. Inside, immersed in an atmosphere of celebration and luxury:
