The A380 is a great aircraft, but I am a little biased in my opinion.
We were planning to go to Brazil, but that's been shelved for the moment. That's a heck of a long way over water, and I think perhaps the best option now is the Dreamliner - but it is a long way - and only two engines .....

I doubt that the 380s will go on that route - would be great if they did. I wasn't too biased before I went on one - incredible planes - and perhaps I'll never go on such a comfortable or relatively quiet flight again. Maybe the 350s are similar, but like the Dreamliner, only two engines.
