Agree with many of those destinations, also think it will be a fine aeroplane. However, LAX? The passenger load is there, but the airport is tighter than .......... (whatever your favourite metaphor). It's tough enough taxiing and parking the -400, I think the 380 would have to go out on remotes at the West end. Wingtip-to-wingtip B/C taxiways won't work, tow-in parking on many stands for the -400 and 777 as it is....

Agreed the aircraft will have a certain cache about it, and that will attract a lot of curious travellers.

All we need is a movie to go with it: "Airport 2004 - The MegaBus"
