It may not have been a commercial service, but QF has already had their first so called A380 flight. Frequent flyers, media, and virtually no pilots allowed. Apparently keeping most of the staff away was part of QFs policy to boost engagement! (Just like the 85th Birthday Party) (Damn how did I link that one in 
)
