Thumbs up 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.

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".
