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.

Whatever floats his boat.

imo it’s a complete waste of space.

I'm with you on that. It's the new BUFF.

The queen of the skies. I read that the 747 was originally designed to compete for the contract that eventually went to the C5.
