Let me rephrase that:It's about kgs of PAYLOAD (kgs) vs. fuel burn and basically the number of passengers, seat configuration, shower or bar has little to do with this.On a purely company economical note, certainly the one has more comfort arguments than the other, it just depends on how you configure the cabin, no doubt you could eventually configure the 777 to look better in that respect.On a environemental note, there is no question that the only value that counts is burn vs. kgs transported.I say it again: The moment i see a actual flightplan that shows the A380 burn less fuel per kilo transported, i will start to value it as what AB propagates -> as a step forward concerning environemental protection progress.
