Deregulation did in the “Sky Lounge” of the 747 upper deck. It was converted to passenger seating and not overly popular, other than with 747 first-timers. Funny how roly-poly the ride actually is up there when you’re not tipsy and thinking it’s just you.

I wonder how pleasant the upper deck is on an A380.

Not yet flown on one but from those I know who have, upper is preferable because it’s quieter, apparently. The uproar of all the passengers on the main deck, coming and going, it’s a big plane. Turbulence can create some passenger discomfort toward the upper rear so that’s always set up as economy as far as I know.

The A380 is an ungainly, ugly looking plane from the exterior, imho, very unlike the elegant design of the 747, but it’s upper deck doesn’t have quite the issue with passengers having a sense of constant rolling motion.
