The first commercial A380 bound for Manchester has just flown over, the Emirates looked well in the blue sky of Yorkshire.

I saw the documentry about the emergency evacuation tests they did on the A380..........90 seconds for full evac apparently. Maybe they could make it more fun, by getting everyone to board that quickly

My next door neighbour is travelling on one of these in first class (snob) tomorrow, he's had the pleasure of telling me all about it for the last two days. According to him they've had to remove the screens from the sleep pods & replace them with curtains due to lots of frequent fliers joining the mile high club..........Oh, to even have the chance
