 Talk about cramped conditions, they are really trying to max out the passengers if they are configuring the two aircraft for 840 passengers. Just imagine trying to get on or off the A380, or even queuing for the toilet or waiting for the refreshments to get around the passengers...I feel sorry for the cabin crew Geeked
