When it is put into service early next year, it will become the flagship of many airline fleets and offer unprecedented amenities on long-haul services, including, in some cases, gyms, bedrooms and bars.

How long does it take 840 people to board? OTOH, on a transatlantic flight, it would be great to be able to stretch your legs. OTOH,OTOH, I wouldn't want to have bedroom cleaning duty after every flight. And I hope that the walls are well sound-proofed.
