The 747 is the prettiest passenger plane, IMHO. Im glad to see the design still in use..

In addition to the 747-8 Intercontinental's enhanced performance, the airplane will feature a new interior with 787-like amenities. The interior will incorporate new mood-lighting technology, as well as new lavatories that are being developed for the 787. The newly designed entryway of the 747-8 takes passengers past a concierge station into the elegantly contemporary new interior. A dramatic stairway leads to the upper deck. The new curved, upswept architecture gives passengers great space and comfort, with more room for personal belongings.
I'm wondering. Do you think Boeing is hinting at increasing cabin space by making the walls thinner using the types of insulation? The original A350 was supposed to use this to allow an extra 0.5 inches of width per seat. It sure would be nice if Boeing could fit full 18.0" wide seats in economy on the new 747-8I.

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
And Lufthansa is his name!
Qantus and JAL and all the rest
may soon be doing the same.
Bells are ringing, Boeing is singing;
All is merry and bright.
So buy your stocks and say your prayers,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Current Airbus A380 orders stand at 166. Current Boeing 747-8 orders stand at 73. A380 orders are going in the wrong direction (being canceled). The 747-8 orders are increasing.
My guess is sometime in 2008 the 748-8 will surpass the A380 in orders.

A fact about the new 747-8I that is getting lost among the buzz and the A-380 is that, once this plane is in service, the 747-8I will be the worlds longest commercial airplane in the world.
