I always thought they A380 was designed to get around the limited slots at Heathrow.
Etihad and Qatar bought them for this sole purpose, they only took a dozen of them. They only fly them to slot or restricted rights airports like Heathrow, Sydney, JFK, Bangkok, Paris.
The onboard product is absolutely sensational from those two. Singapore is about to upgrade the A380 to match Etihads standard which would be the best first class product in the sky.
Meanwhile Qantas does diddly squat. They still haven’t given me a reason to fly them, it’s been 10 years since I flew them overseas.
