I'm more interested in the fact that they only had 380 passengers on board.

Thirty years ago I used to carry 380 passengers on a DC-10 on a daily basis.

I freely admit that the aircraft were configured in full-Y class but it makes me wonder how far we have actually advanced versus the huge amount of capital investment in the A-380 is concerned.
