A380 Not the demise

Not the demise but the slow death of the A380.
The last one has rolled off the production line.

That's a shame.

I love flying the A380s on Qatar. Get an Economy seat near the front, and one has a small space to walk around at the base of the stairs there.

Not to mention walking down the back of the plane for munchies while everyone else is asleep.

While I like Dreamliners with the extra leg room on Jetstar for going on shortish flights like to Bali, I have zero interest in cramped 17 or 19 hour flights on Dreamliners going to Europe. I'm too old for stuff like that.

Regards,
Renato

I prefer the A350 to the Dreamliner.
