Lonkmu - Flew in to BHX some time ago and got great seats, Row 49 H,J,K main deck, at the pointy end so off really quickly at Brum and unlike a 747 where departing passengers from both decks have to merge and queue near the door - the double airbridge made the whole process a lot easier.

Back to the cabin; bags of room, big windows (I nabbed the K seat), brilliant IFE and sound quality -a bit complicated for me (but the 6 year old in front soon had it sussed!).

But the thing that I valued most of all was the absence of equipment boxes under the seat in front (I'm 6' 2'' and in the past have paid extra for more space in premium economy to end up on 777s and 747s with no leg room at all because of those boxes, combined with seat legs) and, if I remember correctly - the seat legs on the 380 were only at either end of each block of three seats, rather than under every seat. Really comfortable and very civilized.

Have a good trip.
