Only an anecdote, but some friends of mine, not in the slightest bit airminded, chose an airline I don't particularly fancy so they could fly on the A380. Despite the contempt for passengers expressed by many professionals, once you fly for more than a couple of hours at a time, even the unwashed know whether they're comfortable or not.
