    If you realize it, it is really unbelievable that this Airbus A380 with all the trimmings continues to fly in the air with a weight of almost 600000 kilograms. A sample of technology, intelligence and craftsmanship!!!! Awesome !!!

    I was flying on a Lufthansa a380, incredible experience. Firstly, when you saw all the cabin crew arriving to the aircraft you realised how big it is, like 25 cabin crew people needed. Secondly when you boarded, when you saw that it had 3 gates to board. Thirdly you could not even feel when we touched down, it was so smooth.

    I had the pleasure of flying on one of these last month and it was quite the experience. Your mind is telling you that something that size should not be able to move at all, let alone so fast and gracefully. I thought it would have been like a cruise ship on the ocean, where you can't feel any real movement. The acceleration and lift when you take off just crushes you into your seat, and once you get to altitude, you cannot feel anything, maybe the occasional bump that reminds you that you are indeed zooming through the air at three hundred knots or more. The landing was equally smooth. In addition, I flew business class, which is the only way to go. My ticket was $9000 (round trip) and worth every penny (because I told my boss I wouldn't go otherwise). Ahh...the life...

      I would not like to hit an air pocket in one of those huge planes, We hit an air pocket over the North Atlantic
      on the way to LA. And when we hit it, the plane without warning fell like a stone, for what seemed like ages,
      then it shook violently when it hit the air again. It was a really scary moment, we all thought we were going
      to die. Thankfully we landed in LA around 10 hours later, and I lived to tell the tale.

      Not true. Commercial airlines mostly won't train ex-military pilots unless they came from Transport Command. Jet Jockeys are the worst at delegation in the cockpit and in a crisis...which is when you need pilots they can't be relied upon to do just their part. Can't have 2 senior captains acting as such on the deck and you cant train that out of them....apparently.

    For those of you complaining about the time it took to taxi. Terminal 5 is at the West end of the Airport. The take off runway in use was 27R, which is the Northern Runway running from East to West. The runway is 3,902metres long, so that was the distance they had to taxi to take off

      The bigger the plane, the more air brakes it needs to slow it down during descent and landing. And this plane lands on existing runways, so needs the extra braking force.

      Heathrow is on the west edge of London.
      A take off to the west will be over open fields immediately.
      A take off to the east will be over suburbia for at least a few minutes.
      It is a big airport but is still much smaller than the likes of Atlanta or Denver.
