Transaero's 652 seats
 
At 652 seats, Transaero's A380s could top all others#!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I can't wait to buy a ticket and sit with 651 other unwashed masses. Throw in the kitchen sinks, goats, chickens, etc, the thing will never take off.

Wow. I hope they hand out complimentary Febreze. :eek:

I've been on LH A380's numerous times and their capacity is 526. IIRC, they use 20 -24 FAs. Talk about a traveling circus! (I thought our crews were a circus, up to 4 pilots and 8 FAs.) I can't even imagine the logistics with all those crew members! Good luck with that....

What ever it takes to make a profit. I bet you it will still be more comfortable than old UA/DL 744s

actually after reading the article i dont think it will be as bad as it sounds. They will only have 36 (12/24) seats in First and Business combined. EK i think has 90 (14/76) in first and business followed by 400+ in the cheap seats.
But yes I do see what you are saying, 650+ people should be fun for the crew.

Wow. 24 FA's. The transport to the hotel truly will be a crew "bus". If they use normal vans, it will be called a "motorcade".
