Qantas A380! (1 Viewer)

[milocole]

Anyone know the dates of the other 2 fellow A380's due down under before the years end?

Milocole, do you post images of www.airliners.net? I'd love to take a look at the images that you take.

I have many hundreds of photos, but havnt put them on airlines.net yet cause I havn't figured out how to resize them yet...

Anyway I will be at Sydney Airport on Friday, so hopefully I will capture the Giant Beast, and certianly will post on here. As well as anything else that browses the airport....

What does everybody think about the red, green and yellow economy class seats?

Red is obviously the conventional colour for QF, but I was in a state of shock when they released images of the new seat fabrics. Nevertheless, the economy PTVs are of a decent size.

I really should've postponed my last US trip (last Christmas) to this year - would've had the chance to travel on the A380.

(Travelled on QF107 SYD-LAX-JFK and QF12 LAX-SYD)

A good place to spot planes would be along The Boulevard of Brighton-le-Sands, which is directly next to... RWY32? (the man made island for the runway) It's the only one long enough for the A380 as well as the B744.

no such runway

^^ lol... well I dunno, I just remember seeing similar numbers in images that I've searched up. Just cleared my mind... umm is it R08 or R16 (factors of 8?)? or does it involve more? Despite that minor hiccup, a decent place to spot planes is as mentioned above.


ya...

It's got to do with the angle of the runway. They are:

16R/34L Main North-South runway

16L/34R Parallel North-South runway.

07/25 East-West runway.

lol I thought that it had to do with the distance

Thanks for the clarification.

I got a cityflyer plane down to sydney n Friday night and ive never flown Qantas. Mum was saying oh we're down near the bback....bull! we were right over teh wings!1 It took a lot longer than i expected to get to the wings,...i was thinking that we were like right up against the back of the plane.

Ok meall...could give us somethng decent for desert but then again its only a 1hr flight. One lady behind us changed her flight and didnt get a meal coz she didnt let them know that she was a vegetarian before hand. hehe

Have a look at the Emirates First Class ensuite here

It's something new... apparently, each first class passenger has available to them five minutes of water use only, and 25 minutes total in the bathroom.

that does look pretty nice.
but 5 mins of water use? If thats all you get then i dont get why they installed shower blocks.

man that bathroom ensuite looks awesome, better than my own home.
