Last year, my flights to and from Japan were on United Airlines' Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
This year, I found that I will be flying aboard another new aircraft: Airbus A380 wide-body jumbo jet. I will be flying with Singapore Airlines on this trip.
According to Wikipedia:
The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine jet airliner manufactured by the European aircraft company Airbus. It is the world's largest passenger airliner, and the airports at which it operates have upgraded facilities to accommodate it. It was initially named Airbus A3XX and designed to challenge Boeing's monopoly in the large-aircraft market. The A380 made its first flight on 27 April 2005 and entered commercial service in October 2007 with Singapore Airlines.
The A380's upper deck extends along the entire length of the fuselage, with a width equivalent to a wide-body aircraft.If possible, I will try to take a peek (and maybe a few photos) of the plane's upper deck.
