Qantas A380-800 Business

Flew LHR/ Singapore/LHR in the new A380. Seated in the middle of the centre cabin on top deck in row 19.

Qantas have really upped their game with this aircraft. Seats were very comfortable, with massage facillity and 180 lie flat capability. The cabin was spacious, entertainment 1st class (although had to be reset on outward journey).

I was amazed by the quietness of the cabin. The food was excellent, particularly Duck Shepherd's Pie on return journey.

The plane has a larger than normal bathroom which is great for changing etc. The cabin service was personal and pleasant, I didn't like the wine on offer so the attendant went down to first clas to fetch the bottle of my choice. All in all, most impressive.

Good to hear, I agree the a380 is lovely aircraft and J upstairs is very comfortable. I also think QF's food and wine is much better than the other major carriers operating on the UK/Aust route. I am booked to fly from Mel/Lax in June and made sure I was on the a380.
