Sep 29 2008What A Five-Star Plane Looks Like Inside

plane-1.jpg

The Airbus A380 is a $300 million, 7-story plane that's as long as two blue whales and 260 ft from wingtip to wingtip. And, apparently, it's a flying resort.

The A380 is the ultimate in luxury. It has three decks: the top two for passengers and the lower one available for a medical center, shopping or a fast-food franchise. The aircraft has features like spas, casinos, gyms, bedrooms, and duty-free shops. Some airlines also plan to fix staterooms with beds, showers, a water feature, a double-width staircase between decks, and luxurious, book-lined club-style bars.

Wow, that sounds....like a huge freaking waste.

Hit the jump to see the ridiculousness that is the inside of an A380.

fRIST!!!!

Cool but really old...Pew Pew Pew... Still love you guys though

Pre-last picture looks like the perfect place to join the mile-high club.

Seeing this make me realize I have a 1 star income :(

Now anybody that can afford the the bunk with two beds can join the mile-high club.

hit that mile high club in luxury now!

the population of club members is gonna see a sharp increase if they're providing rose covered beds and champaign. hell

even a TV for prono!

Expensive plane is expensive.

And to #5, what have you done with Bob?!

wow... titanic comes to mind... cant imagine why?

Sickening.

I'll take two to go.

Jesus it looks like that space trip in 2001 (that film with monkeys cavorting with a glossy black monolith). It misses HAL though...

Is that Maggie Simpson on the TV? Cartoon pron?

id like to have sex on that rose petal bed but the champagne would make me limp dick. oh and id probably rather watch the simpsons than make the girlfriend cum.

@6 - Not sure what prono is. Probably like amateurno but better. Whatever it is, I want some

Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherf***ing snakes on this motherf***ing plane!

looks pretty incredible, which is what i guess the ticket prices will be for the seats/bed in these pics

Looks like the AirBus just got its period.

oh dude
imagine bench press at the gym during a storm
freaking

I might be a little emo for typing this, but i would be so cool if this thing crashed. xD

Sorry guys, but its much more reliable than the 747 and uses less fuel...

@19

Spot the ten year old, anyone?

Wait... What!?!

ahhh but LOOK see Pic #3 from the top???
you STILL have to share a f***ing armrest!!!

I just don't see 'why' this is necessary? People who have money have personal jets or shared jets anyway. Large and gay.

If you follow the link, I love what it says about the economy class on this thing. Or better yet, the poor people that nobody gives a shit about. With all the pointless crap they've done to the rest of the plane, all they could do for us normal folks was provide more leg room. Thanks assholes.

if it crashed it still couldn't kill travis barker and dj am.

@8 - My thoughts exactly...
And just one room of this place is better than my apartment *tear*

This appears to ba a mockup of what it could look like. This means that in reality the airlines will cram as many coach seats as possible in this sucker and maximize their profits.

These planes will never look like this. Airlines will buy the planes, refit them with 800 small seats and call it good.

@28 & 29

I agree, that will certainly happen in most (if not all) European airlines.

On the other hand, some niche airlines such as Singapore Airlines and Air Dubai might not.

US companies will buy the Dreamliner when (and if) is ready.

The rest of the world can't afford it (and/or it isn't cost effective due to the volume of their traffic).

I hate rich people.

@31- That would make you Anti-burgoise mediocritist with lower-class aversion... like me.

I've busted mad nuts in that plane. true story.

#31 - and We'd hate you if we knew you existed.

@32 - you too.

@35- LMAO

Kinda reminds me of that film, late eighties with Kris Krisstoffeeson, Millenium, I think it was called...

I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting sick & tired of seeing all these RICH PEOPLE TOYS! WHEN is the average person gonna get something this f***in cool to play with!??!?!?!


its like... airplane porn.... only better, speaking of. thats at least the good thing, you know how hard it is to fap in coach with all those seats crammed together and only the 3 inch tv on the back of the seat infront of you to work with?

That plane looks a lot like the one from Soul Plane (the terrible Snoop Dogg movie) on the inside.

@38: When we have the money.

I'm with everyone else that said it, that rose-covered bed is just too perfect. Mile-high club, anyone?

I'm afraid that I can't partake in the class envy rabble, however, I do find the rose covered bed tacky.
I've never been one for romance, hell, doing it on one of the seats would be sexier and kinkier in my most humble opinion.

@42- hating rich people is NOT class envy. no more than hating black people is "race envy".

BTW_ I am not a racists. I did not choose "black people" for any other reason than to draw a very quick and paralle.

Sorry- forgot an "l" on the end of my last post. Lawdy knows some here will jump at the chance to bash my quick typing as being ignorant or something equally stupid.

Hay, you left out the last L on you're post. Your ignorent!

It's f***ing snowing on Mars and this is the top story of the day here?

Miles, you used the plural of racist when you meant to use the singular. Your quick typing is ignorant or something equally stupid.

@46 I'll assume you misspelled ignorant on purpose cause that makes your post even funnier!

Wouldn't it be a little creepy to join the mile high club with those creepy asian dudes standing at the door watching?

i got on a plane similar to this once .. but it wasn't private or 5 stars or unique .. there was some sheep next to me and the 6 indian guys and me have experienced allot of turbulence ... ahh luxurious times ..

@45 - Thanks for explaining why you hate blacks. You are officially outed as a racist and a classist.

what the f*** is that bathtub thing?

#19: Damn right, I can't wait for one of those beasts to crash, but hopefully not including innocent bystanders on the ground. Hey, it happened to that B-2.

Is this a publicity stunt for Titanic 2? I swear, if James Cameron in any way funded this thing...

@51: I thought it looked more like a huge hole in the floor. Imagine standing by that when the plane experiences turbulence...

...Amazing, too bad It's price is probably outrageous.

Dude... how'd these pictures of my closet get out?

@56

Release the Asian men from your closet!

I think if you were actually "rich" enough you would be too busy flyying around on your own damn jet, one that won't burst into flames hlfway down the runway forcing you to slide down the wing to espace burning the hell out of yourself in the process...... that is.

damn i murdered some words up there, haha

Singapore Airlines and Qantas already have these, of course they're not fitted out like this, but just like ordinary airliners.

The only exception is special pods in first class that turn in to beds.

If budget was no limit then you could easily do this with an old 767 or 747.

Personally I'm an aeroplane nerd so hopefully I'll fly on one(I'm in Australia, flights from both Singapore Airlines and Qantas) soon. I've seen them on the tarmac at Sydney airport, they are frigging massive.

It really ruined air travel when they started doing price wars. Now there are only two options: ridiculously expensive or crammed like sardines. I'd be willing to pay 20% more for a little extra leg room. I'm sure others would, too.

Don't kid yourselves folks. You don't need an A380 to fit in a bed. All of these fancy amenities can be done on today's 747s. The only real reason to build a bigger plane is to cram more people into it and maximize profits.

I don't see what's so appealing about being packed into a metal tube with 850 other people for 12 hours.

They fixed a shop? I wouldn't dare shop there considering the lost of money due to the space taken which could have been fitted with seats, might be selling Gucci. Wow big waste of money!

OLD!The first 380 took off ages ago!

shiiiiiiiiit! first class eats aren't that bad, well for the flight around here locally within europe it seems to be pretty reasonably priced for some reason, last time i flew i was up in the first class, f*** coach that shit sucks ass! i found it weird but they give 1st class people actual like forks and knives n'shit, i thought they weren't doing that anymore cuz they wuz peeps being forked and all that good shit, and they have actual plates n'shit, you know, f***ing glasses or wutev, not the f***ing plastic shit..... and actual f***ing room to stretch my legs! wut muhf***a wut!

Nice romantic cabin. Too bad the mood is ruined by two things: the men staring into the room & the Simpsons episode playing on the tv.

It all seems way too much. It just needs to fly and to be reasonably comfortable.

fRIST!!!!

If you want to be an accurate immitation you need to put the correct number of exclamation points on it.

Nice work though. Feel free to post for me, I get busy sometimes and can't monitor the postings as much as I like to. Its nice to have help.

Thanks,

Firsty
fRIST!!!! poster and all around ass

@65 - Blasphemous hethen! The Simpsons could NEVER ruin a romantic moment!

nice ass place to jack off

I love you to death man - I know you're going through a divorce and all, and I hate to sound crass here - but is she also taking time off of work? That's what lawyers are for! Use the site to take your mind off of things! We miss the posts!

Pffft. A waste indeed.

Completely unnecessary

Wonder how much does Airbus lose on each plane they manage to sell...

They said the same thing about the 747 thirty years ago. All the airlines are going to do is cram as many seats as possible in the plane. Only one things counts in the airline biz and that revenue per passenger mile. And you don't make any revenue by wasting space with a food court.

to everyone who is complaining about when poor people will get nice things & that this is unnecessary:

if you didn't work at a call center doing customer service somewhere in PA, you'd like it. you'll get neat new things when you get a better job. stfu & work more. or move to a country where you can stretch your dollar further, and when you fly home for christmas to see your family in a few years, when you can afford it, THEN you can fly on the Airbus A380.

Thats a lot of glass for a flying vehicle. Also I'm pretty sure glass can be broken and used as a knife.

SEVENTY-SEVENTH!!!!!!!

But seriously, that plane is really Kick-ass!!!

That's my Mum's plane. She picks me up from school in it. I get teased and bashed a lot.

want!!!!

This post is lame but the quality of it's comments is unsurpassed, congratulations.

That shot of Bart and Maggie Simpson is from the movie, not from an episode. Dont you a$$holes know anything? Its the scene where Bart is playing the handheld game that is a 1st person shooter and the goal is to shoot babies. Then Maggie takes it from him and a little while later she's shown playing it.

Classic.

My main concern would be hitting severe turbulence and being in some sort of glass trinket/perfume shop......with a water fountain outside the door.

Screw the A380, I'll take the fighter jet in the first pic instead.

Ha
im so jelouse
Can i live there
