KaBoom, the 380 may win compared to a 777 in the Flight Attendents perspective, but think of it from a business perspective. How much cheaper is it to operate a 777? It is not much more than half the fuel burn of a 380 on a specific route for one thing.

You may argue that pax will pay extra for the 380 and service, but you could probably afford to sell the seats on the 777 but about half what the bus could afford them for.
