Airbus A380--the behemoth of the skies

The Airbus A380 is now in service. A pretty cool interactive guide can be found here.

With three decks throguhout, the A380 seats a third more passengers than the Boeing 747 but offers 49% more floor space too, leaving room for features such as shops, bars, casinos and even nurseries. How the space is used will be up to to airlines. Low-cost carriers could operate with a single economy-class layout accommodating as many as 800 passengers.
